Prime Examples of: Generosity
There are three T’s of generosity: time, talent and treasure. And while all of the hours we spend, efforts we exert and items we share are valuable gifts, true generosity goes beyond a readiness to give. It is giving more than is necessary or even expected—the voluntary, the gratuitous, the extra mile. At Florida Tech, we give it all. A hoot. Our best. The time of day.
Here are a few prime examples.

Thank you, Panthers!
