Tactics

Increase the number of faculty to address strategic needs

Faculty are central to building a top 25 university and FSU is committed to significantly growing our faculty to meet strategic needs and providing concomitant resources needed for successful research and instruction.

Increase National Academy members and other prestigious faculty

FSU is building the number of National Academy members and other prestigious faculty with two approaches: identifying and hiring national leaders that match the research profile of FSU and by promoting existing faculty to attain national recognition.


Activities and Accomplishments

  • FSU welcomed 113 new faculty members this fall, bringing the total number of full-time faculty to 2,360.
  • FSU is among the top universities in the nation for faculty research and publications. Twenty-three percent of FSU faculty are in the top 20% of faculty in their disciplines.
  • FSU, in partnership with the UF Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, received $29 million to speed research discoveries that will lead to improved health.
  • Michael Blaber, professor of Biomedical Sciences, and Dr. Murray Gibson, Dean of FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, were named fellows of the National Academy of Inventors.
