STUDENT STORIES
First and Proud
Kayla Harris, like many Florida Atlantic University students, is the first in her family to attend a four-year university. Kayla credits her grandmother with giving her the support and encouragement to pursue her interest in marine biology. With the help of the Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars program, Kayla graduated from Florida Atlantic with a B.A. in Health Science. Harris now works as an environmental monitor, focusing on sea turtles.

Florida Atlantic's strategic relationships connect students with relevant experiences throughout South Florida, allowing them to build their resumes while enjoying a sub-tropical climate.
