Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Presentation

How did a World War II airfield transform into Florida Atlantic University, a top-tier Research One institution? The story of FAU in Boca Raton is one of vision, politics, and opportunity. After the war, surplus military land became available, paving the way for the university’s founding in 1961. But behind the scenes, political maneuvering shaped its location and mission. Today, remnants of the old airfield still exist—if you know where to look. Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey from military base to academic powerhouse and the key players who made it happen.
Live In-Person with Video Catch-up. Available 2-3 business days after the live lecture.

DATE: Thursday, July 10, 2025
