Dear Trustees:
It is no exaggeration to say that Eastern Florida State College is
literally reaching for the stars.
The 2019 College Accomplishments contained in this report
describe that journey through programs that are putting
students in position for excellent careers.
We are helping launch the next generation of spaceflight
at Kennedy Space Center with graduates and apprentices working at Lockheed
Martin, SpaceX, OneWeb Satellites and other aerospace companies.
There is also a new state-of-the-art facility for Robotics, our key role in the Florida
High-Tech Corridor and application as a National Center for Cyber Security and
Digital Forensics Education.
Meanwhile, we continued setting records in enrollment for Bachelor Degree and
online programs, minority student enrollment and money awarded for student
scholarships.
We also dedicated a new Student Union and broke ground on the college’s first
Residence Hall, both on the Melbourne Campus.
Our achievements reflect the dedication of our superb faculty and staff and their
commitment to our students.
I hope you find the report informative and with it my gratitude for the strong
leadership you provide to the college and our community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Richey
President
