(ex·cep·tion·al) n.
It’s the dawn of a new era at Florida Memorial University, and
we have an array of exceptional students, faculty, administration
and services that are second to none.
president’s timeline. It showcases where we’ve been and
where we’re headed as we strategically navigate this exceptional
institution toward its higher purpose and calling in life.
From developing an industry cluster program to establishing

Florida Memorial University is poised and ready to elevate our
institution from “Good” to “Great.”
I invite you - our esteemed colleagues, associates, supporters

new heights and raise the standard of excellence as we venture

About Florida Memorial University
Florida Memorial University is a private,
accredited higher learning educational
institution on Miami Gardens, Florida.

graduate degrees, Florida Memorial’s history
and traditions date back to 1879, and it is
the ONLY historically black university in
south Florida.

About this Publication
Offering 41 undergraduate degree programs
and four graduate degree programs, Florida
Memorial is a culturally diverse institution. It is
widely recognized as the birthplace of the Negro
National Anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,”
and the home of Barrington Irving, Jr., the first
and youngest pilot of African descent to fly solo
around the world.
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
Elevation From Good to Great is a publication produced
by Florida Memorial University, Office of Institutional
Advancement, Department of Public Affairs and
Communications. The President’s Report provides the
financial overview and highlights for the 2010-2011 fiscal
years. The E-theme is indicative of multiple components
of the President’s 20/20 Vision Plan: exceptional, elevation,
education, enterprise, engagement, efficiency, and excellence.
4
(el·e·va·tion) n.
1. The height to which something is elevated above a point of reference such as the ground.
2. Loftiness of thought or feeling.
3. The height of a thing above a reference level; altitude.
It is said your attitude, not your aptitude, affects your altitude
in life. At Florida Memorial University (FMU), we believe
the adage is filled with truth. When Dr. Henry Lewis III, the
12th university president, set his sights on moving FMU “from
good to great,” it was clear that nothing less than the stars and
the moon would do for South Florida’s only historically black
university.
President Lewis has remarked on numerous occasions that
his 20/20 Vision Plan encompasses a move that not only will
increase enrollment, but also increase the quality of the students
who enroll at FMU. The plan means that FMU will not simply
be located in Miami Gardens, but, also, will be a partner in and
supporter of Miami Gardens, and surrounding communities.
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
His vision is to have a global connection to cities and nations
throughout the world in the form of quality experiences,
community service projects and academic exchanges for FMU
students, faculty and staff. He also sees nothing but blue skies
for Florida Memorial’s future as he fully embraces and executes
the bold vision that he has put forth.
Without a doubt, FMU has a new attitude. President Lewis has
conceived it -- and Florida Memorial University believes that it
can achieve it.
Yes, we believe we can soar. . . to even greater heights: From
Good to Great.
6
Elevation
E
levation
(ed·u·ca·tion) n.
1. The process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, esp. at a school or university.
2. The theory and practice of teaching.
A very wise man, Benjamin Elijah Mays – educator, scholar,
minister, social activist, president emeritus of Morehouse College
and mentor to the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – once
said: “It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace
to have no stars to reach for.’’
At Florida Memorial University, it is all about the bright stars in
the classroom, on the faculty and staff, academic competitions as
we endeavor to guide those who are in intellectual darkness and
bring them into intellectual light. President Lewis believes that
every young person should have an opportunity to earn a higher
education, which can help to improve that young person’s life,
his family’s life and the quality of life in his or her community.
A rigorous education, with opportunities for nurturing and
partnerships with the university’s corporate sponsors and
community leaders is at the top of the president’s list. Quality,
not quantity is a part of his vision.
The institution is a private, undergraduate and graduate
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
degree-granting institution located in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Its history and traditions date back to 1879. This legacy of
determination and accomplishment has made it one of Florida’s
longest surviving centers of academic excellence. Offering over
40 undergraduate degree programs and four graduate degree
programs, Florida Memorial is a culturally diverse institution
that is committed to transforming lives and helping to create
a future for people from many races, ethnicities, countries,
religions and socio-economic backgrounds. The university offers
its students a promise and a future, and has opened doors to
educational opportunities that may have been previously closed
for many students.
More than 80 percent of the FMU faculty and staff hold
doctorates and terminal degrees.
More than 30 percent of our students are on either the honor
roll or dean’s list.
8
EDUCATION
E
DUCATION
(en·ter·prise) n.
1. An undertaking, especially one of some scope, complication, and risk.
2. A business organization.
3. Willingness to undertake new ventures; initiative.
At first glance, it may not be recognizable that Florida Memorial
University is a major contributor to South Florida’s economic
imprint. The institution, however, is one of the regions’ largest
purchasers of goods and services and employs nearly 300
residents from the tri-county area. All told, FMU has an impact
on the local economy of approximately $100 million.
Our employees and students live and invest in South Florida.
Nearly 70 percent of FMU students reside in Miami-Dade,
Broward and Palm Beach counties. Moreover, the majority of
our graduates remain in South Florida after completing their
studies, further contributing to the local tax base and workforce.
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
The university offers high quality venue, procurement, vending
and rental space opportunities for community organizations and
businesses. These developments helped the Lewis Administration
deliver an impressive, robust suite of services including brand
new netbooks for all students, a newly renovated FMU
Bookstore operated by Barnes and Nobles Booksellers; FMUbranded student debit cards, at no additional cost to students.
Our procurement and capital-improvement activities continually
stimulate the local economy. With a cooperative spirit and a
willing heart, Florida Memorial will enthusiastically continue to
“plant trees under whose shade we many never sit.”
10
ENTERPRISE
E
NTERPRISE
(en·gage·ment) n.
1. a formal arrangement to meet someone or to do something, especially as part of your public duties
2. an arrangement to employ someone or to use their services
3. the action of parts of a machine when they connect with each other
4. the feeling of being involved in a particular activity
Florida Memorial is committed to contributing a lasting
impact that transcends bricks and mortar. The institution is
a cultural powerhouse that hosts stellar events catered to the
cultural, intellectual and spiritual development of the university
and greater communities. President Lewis’ newly christened
“communiversity” philosophy promotes the idea of tearing
down the figurative walls of the institution and engaging the
community to collaboratively create a meaningful life enriching
experience.
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
Among other events, FMU hosted or produced a public
reception and student close-up with the Honorable Ebrahim
Rasool, the Republic of South Africa’s Ambassador to the United
States; the 2012 Inauguration and Investiture of Dr. Henry
Lewis III; and the Royal Coronation of Mr. DeSean Peterson
and Miss Nathalia Theogene as Mr. & Miss FMU for the 201112 academic year.
12
Engagement
E
ngagement
(ef·fi·cien·cy) n.
1. the state or quality of being efficient; competency in performance.
2. accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
3. the ratio of the work done or energy developed by a machine, engine, etc., to the energy supplied to it, usually expressed
as a percentage.
Just getting the job done is never enough. At Florida Memorial,
the goal is to get the job done exceptionally well.
State-of-the-art technology, accurate financial statements,
up-to-date equipment, clear vision and good leadership all
play a significant role in the university’s efficiency. Overall,
the university’s financial standing is sound. Two consecutive
external audits for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 audits resulted
in unqualified opinions, with no findings and zero audit
adjustments. Moreover, the number of hours spent by external
President’s Report 2010-2011 | From Good to Great
auditors decreased from Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2010
from 1,300 to 883 hours, which directly yielded a major
decrease in audit fees – generating a net savings of more than
$70,000 -- over two years. For 2009-2010, all internal audit
findings related to the Controller’s Office have been cleared.
As of June 30, 2011, the university had a robust surplus of $3.2
million. A new campus Chiller System has been constructed that
will save the university $300,000 annually.
14
EFFICIENCY
E
fficiency
(ex·cel·lence) n.
1. The state, quality, or condition of excelling; superiority.
2. Something in which one excels.
3. Excellency.
“We are pursuing exceptional excellence, every time in everything we do. E to the third (E3) power,
this is our modus operandi. This is our truth. This is Florida Memorial University!”
-Dr. Henry Lewis III
Without a doubt, this has been the season that captures Florida Memorial soaring to new heights of excellence -- as it endeavors to
showcase its best and brightest students, faculty, staff, practices and activities. The university has dared to be great, a goal that extends
beyond the classroom and is already resulting in superior efforts and performances in such areas as athletics, international relations and
public relations.
In the end, excellence is definitely not a destination, it is a journey. The new Lewis Administration has made it clear: The time is now for
Florida Memorial University to accelerate the move toward our destiny, from Good to Great.

EXCELLENCE
The FMU family travelled more than 300 miles back to
our former hometown of St. Augustine to dedicate the
school’s historic A. L. Lewis Archway Plaza. Held July
14, 2011, in St. Augustine’s Collier-Blocker-Puryear
Park, the event attracted more than 100 community and
university supporters from across Florida. The recently
restored A. L. Lewis Archway, named for the state’s first
black millionaire and university donor, served as the
school’s former entrance. It will now be the centerpiece as
FMU redevelops grounds surrounding the archway. Racial
tension caused FMU to leave the city in 1968. Now, the
FMU-owned 300-acre former campus is one of the largest
institutionally-owned parcels of land in St. John’s County.
