OUR CAMPUS IS A
LABORATORY
I chose to attend
FGCU because of one word: opportunity. I have access to endless opportunities through multiple organizations on and off campus.
FGCU has enhanced my leadership and learning skills. No other university values hands-on experience to the extent that FGCU does. I look forward to what the future holds, and I know FGCU will be with me every step of the way. I am forever grateful!”
