Hello, Panthers!
Olin Quad is the epicenter of some of our university’s most noted and inspired research. Around this green swath, our talented faculty and hardworking students are involved in teaching and learning that prioritizes hands-on experiences and forms the foundation for careers of consequence.
Olin Quad is also home to the dedication monument for the F.W. Olin Engineering and Science Complex. If you’ve never stopped to read it, I suggest you do so.
It reads: “Dedicated to the Relentless Pursuit of Knowledge for the Betterment of Mankind and the Planet on Which We Live.” That “Relentless Pursuit” is part of our DNA at Florida Tech; it sets the tone for who we are and what we value.
We all know our planet has global-sized challenges, but many are challenges that the disciplines taught and science explored at Florida Tech can address. Our powerful community of learners has a proud legacy of doing just that—tackling challenges and finding innovative solutions—and the best is yet to come.
Join me this academic year in recommitting ourselves to that “relentless pursuit of knowledge.” I’ll see you around campus.
Go Panthers!
Sincerely,
John Nicklow, Ph.D.
President
