The library at the Ft. Lauderdale campus has displayed books and posters in the library for students, faculty, and staff to enjoy as they celebrate Black History Month.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
