Washington Monthly Features Florida Tech among Universities Contributing to Public Good

MELBOURNE, FLA.—According to the Washington Monthly 2011 rankings of national universities, Florida Institute of Technology remains on the list of schools noted for their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research and service.

“I believe that our diversity, acclaimed sponsored research projects, active service organizations and community involvement have all helped us to earn this recognition,” said Florida Tech President Anthony J. Catanese.

This fall Florida Tech was designated a Tier One Best National University for the second consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report and is one of just nine schools in Florida lauded by the 2012 Fiske Guide to Colleges.
