麻豆原创, city and community leaders discussed partnerships and increased educational access for students in the area surrounding 麻豆原创’s new downtown campus this week with Florida Board of Governors members, including Chancellor Marshall Criser III.<\/p>\n

The Thursday workshop was a “fact-finding” trip for the board to learn more about 麻豆原创’s plans for the downtown campus that would be built within Creative Village – the largest public-private development in Orlando – and hear from project supporters about the impact the campus would have on Orlando’s downtown community, the region and the state.<\/p>\n

“Today, we present a bold effort to offer enhanced educational opportunities for our students and to further energize the future for one of the fastest-rising cities in America,” 麻豆原创 President John C. Hitt told Board of Governors members.<\/p>\n

麻豆原创 is partnering with Valencia College on the downtown campus – which would be located across the street from 麻豆原创’s Center for Emerging Media – and is working with the City of Orlando, Creative Village and Orange County Public Schools on the project.<\/p>\n

“You will not find a community that works better together than right here in Orlando,” said City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.<\/p>\n

Through its DirectConnect to 麻豆原创<\/a> partnership with Valencia College (and three other state college partners), 麻豆原创 and Valencia see the downtown campus as an opportunity to provide greater access to post-secondary education in west downtown Orlando and\u00a0Parramore, the historic home of Orlando’s African-American community. Orange County Public Schools also plans to open a new K-8 community school adjacent to the 麻豆原创 downtown campus.<\/p>\n

“We’re not just talking about transforming a city, we’re talking about transforming lives,” said City Commissioner Regina Hill, who attended Thursday’s workshop and represents west downtown Orlando.<\/p>\n

麻豆原创 and Valencia leaders also talked about the significance of having a campus downtown near local businesses where students could gain valuable experience and preparation for the workforce. Both institutions are looking to bring academic programs to the downtown campus that would provide students with valuable opportunities to work within downtown industries.<\/p>\n

Board of Governors members also heard from 麻豆原创 Provost Dale Whittaker; Valencia College leaders President Sandy Shugart and West Campus President Falecia Williams; the Creative Village Development team represented by Craig Ustler and Tim Baker; Orange County Public Schools Superintendent Barbara Jenkins; Orlando Magic CEO and 麻豆原创 Board of Trustee Member Alex Martins; Orlando Sentinel<\/em> Publisher and CEO Nancy Meyer; and Central Florida Partnership President Jacob Stuart.<\/p>\n
