FAMU doesn't just educate students. It drives the economy, fills the talent pipeline, and shapes the identity of this city. When the university moves, Tallahassee feels it.
Nine months into her presidency, Marva B. Johnson is moving fast. A former Florida State Board of Education chair, Constitution Revision Commissioner, and private-sector executive who led broadband expansion across nine southern states, she didn't come to FAMU to keep the lights on. She came to build. R1 research classification. Deeper federal partnerships. A national footprint in agricultural innovation, health equity, and workforce development. These aren't talking points. They're already in motion.
For business leaders in Tallahassee, the question isn't whether FAMU's trajectory matters to you. It's whether you're paying attention to what's coming.
At NEBA's April Luncheon on Thursday, April 30th President Johnson will share what she's accomplished in her first year, where she's taking the university next, and what it means for the employers, entrepreneurs, and organizations that make up this community.
This is the kind of conversation that only happens in this room. Invite your colleagues and register today.
