Florida A&M University Releases ‘Technology’ Issue of A&M Magazine
Florida A&M University (FAMU) Office of Communications has just published the Spring 2024 A&M magazine, The Technology issue, which highlights the University’s push to become a center of cyber research, artificial intelligence, and high-powered computing.
In his magazine message, President Larry Robinson, Ph.D., shared his excitement about new cyber possibilities FAMU has embarked upon and believes that FAMU holds the power to increase economic growth in Tallahassee.
“In the past year, Florida A&M University has registered three major developments that signal a transformational shift in our campus with increased internet access, capability, equity, and cyber policy,” Robinson said. “This shift is consistent with our climb to No. 91 among the top National Public Universities and the highest ranked public Historically Black College and University for the fifth consecutive year.”
Among the main features were stories about the FAMG network, which is part of the university’s efforts to increase internet access for some of its neighboring communities and bridge the digital divide by training the next generation of computer savvy students.
Engaging stories featured in the issue include, student academic highlights, the launching of the first HBCU Metaverse, introducing FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Dean Suvranu De, Ph.D., and an indepth recap of the FAMU Concert Choir’s holiday performances in Vienna, Austria.
FAMU has become a member of Florida LambdaRail, which increases internet connectivity on campus from a mere 10 gigabytes to 100 gigabytes.
Office of Communications Director Keith Miles said the Spring issue builds on the storytelling that captures the great things moments that happen at FAMU every day.
“FAMU is on the rise, This University has great stories to tell,” Miles said. “We can’t wait to get started on the Fall issue.”
