President Nader Beams with Pride about FSC at LIMBA Meeting

June 19, 2017

“Powered by Optimism” was the theme last week when President Nader addressed dozens of L.I. business people at a meeting of LIMBA (Long Island Metro Business Action).

At the meeting, Dr. Nader expounded on the positive changes, achievements, and initiatives taking place at FSC. They included:

The College’s outstanding track record of placing graduates into jobs, particularly jobs in their fields and in the Long Island metro area.
The fact that Farmingdale has the second-highest undergraduate enrollment of any L.I. four-year college, second only to Stony Brook University.
The diversity at FSC, with 36% of the student body comprised of minority and international students.
FSC’s annual STEM conference, which seeks to encourage middle- and high school students to study in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
The two new degree program debuting this fall – the MS in Technology Management and the BT in Interaction Design.
Plans for an Applied Social Sciences building.
The development of new bachelor’s programs in Sustainable Energy Technology; Computer Security Technology; Geographic Information Systems; Criminal Justice, Police, Court, and Corrections; and Nutrition Science.
