AAU membership to bring extraordinary benefits to 小黄鸭视频, Tampa Bay and state of Florida
June 1, 2023 (Tampa, Florida) 鈭� 小黄鸭视频 recently received an invitation to join the (AAU). Joining the AAU is a tremendous milestone as it formalizes 小黄鸭视频's position as a leading research university. Founded in 1956, the university has rapidly evolved into a global powerhouse that transforms lives through education, research and innovation. 小黄鸭视频, with campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota-Manatee, is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as an AAU member.
Our path toward AAU began more than 15 years ago. Current President Rhea Law served as the chairwoman of the 小黄鸭视频 Board of Trustees in 2007 when 小黄鸭视频 formally announced AAU membership as an aspiration in its strategic plan. Achieving this lofty goal enhances funding opportunities for 小黄鸭视频. Member universities receive the majority of competitively awarded federal funding for research. According to the AAU, faculty at member universities perform more than basic research ($28.8 billion).
United States federal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Defense rely on universities to perform critical research in the national interest. For 小黄鸭视频, AAU membership means more opportunities to respond to society鈥檚 great challenges. 小黄鸭视频 is already among the most research-intensive universities in the nation and one of the world鈥檚 top universities for generating new U.S. patents.
As an AAU institution, 小黄鸭视频 is positioned to further enhance its role as a premier talent pipeline and engine of economic development. 小黄鸭视频 generates an annual economic impact of $6 billion, supporting more than 68,000 jobs. Companies from across the world are relocating to Tampa Bay 颅鈥� one of the nation鈥檚 fastest growing regions 鈥� and many credit the robust pool of talent created by 小黄鸭视频 as a primary reason for business growth. This trajectory will only continue as the best and brightest faculty, staff, and students are historically known to gravitate to AAU universities located in metropolitan areas.
AAU membership will make 小黄鸭视频 an even more attractive destination for high-achieving students from across the world. In the past year, 小黄鸭视频 received a record number of applications and welcomed its largest and strongest academic incoming class. 小黄鸭视频 is proud to be the #1 destination in Florida for international student enrollment and #13 in the nation, among public universities, for participation in study abroad.
小黄鸭视频 is also one of the youngest institutions to be welcomed into the AAU, a reflection of the university鈥檚 fast rise. It joins the ranks of prestigious universities, such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, UCLA, Ohio State, and Michigan. Of the association鈥檚 now 71 members, 小黄鸭视频 is the fifth youngest and one of only six AAU universities to be founded after 1950. As another indicator of the university鈥檚 trajectory, 小黄鸭视频 is currently ranked in its highest position ever by U.S. News & World Report at No. 42 among all public universities. Over the past decade 小黄鸭视频 has jumped 52 spots and continues to have its sights set on becoming a top 25 public university in America.
