Let's Start Here
Interested in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work at Engineering?
Everyone in our FAMU-FSU Engineering community is invited to join our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts at the college. This past year, our Let’s Start Here (LSH) Leadership Committee began this work in earnest for our faculty, students and staff. We are currently accepting volunteer interest in serving on the newly-formed Engineering DEI Advisory Council, which will pick up where the LSH committee left off.
 
In addition to the DEI Advisory Council, there are myriad other ways to get involved in creating a college culture that is more inclusive, offers equal opportunities for all and celebrates the diversity on our campus. There’s something for anyone who is interested in this important work. Please take a moment to complete this form if you are interested in joining us.

Things to Do
Challenger Learning Center Info
PLAYING NOW IN IMAX...
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect the kingdom of Wakanda from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for their nation.
Into America's Wild 3D
Into America’s Wild is a non-stop ride via kayak, bike, train, hot air balloon, zip-line, and more into some of the most beautiful but little-known landscapes of North America.
From the wilds of Alaska and the lush coastline of Oregon to the ancient canyons of the Southwest and the rolling hills of the Appalachian Trail, Into America’s Wild is wall-to-wall with natural treasures and the joy that comes from spending time in nature.
