New Heights For Florida Polytechnic President
After nearly a decade as president of Florida Polytechnic University, Dr. Randy K. Avent has been selected as a correspondent academician to the Royal European Academy of Doctors.
The Academy was founded in 1914, and its principle goal is to research and spread knowledge in the health, social, human, experimental, and technological sciences. “I am honored to be selected to join this revered group of the world’s most eminent scholars, diplomats, and business leaders,” said Avent. In the fall, he will travel to Barcelona, Spain, where he will attend an inaugural ceremony and deliver an inaugural speech.
Since becoming the inaugural president of Florida Poly, the university has received pivotal accreditations by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and by ABET. The university has also earned multiple national rankings and was selected by U.S. News & World Report as a top 75 engineering college without a doctorate degree.
