Farmingdale joined an elite group of schools recently when the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) honored the college with its Excellence and Innovation Award. FSC won in the Regional & Economic Development category, for the work being done by Broad Hollow Bioscience Park and the Smart Grid Corridor Project.

This awards program, now in its third year, honors member institutions for excellence and innovation in several major areas of campus life and leadership, including regional and economic development; student success and college completion; sustainability and sustainable development; teacher education; international education; and leadership development and diversity.

“Innovation at America’s state colleges and universities is focused on advancing the quality of the educational experience for their students and the distinction of their institutions in service to their communities,” said AASCU President Muriel A Howard. “The programs for which these universities are being honored will inspire not only their AASCU colleagues, but all of higher education.”
