Community Partners

Community engagement has always been an integral part of what makes Florida Gulf Coast University special.  Evidence of that partnership is visible on many of our buildings that bear the names of community members who have supported FGCU from its earliest days.  It is evident by the impact our faculty, staff and students make through service to so many community agencies and organizations and the way in which those groups do the same for the University. University Relations serves as an information resource and point of contact for the community and creates opportunities for building connections. FGCU strives to be an invaluable resource to our diverse community. Below are links that will help you stay connected with FGCU and the surrounding community. Please email gifts@fgcu.edu and we will be happy to assist in helping you connect with the appropriate partner.
