SPOILER ALERT:

Florida Atlantic University alumnus Nicolas “Nic” Vansteenberghe, a finalist on the seventh season of the reality TV show “Love Island USA,” was a runner-up in the competition as viewers crowned the winning couple Sunday night.

Vansteenberghe is one of five known FAU alums who appeared on the Love Island show. He has gained popularity throughout the summer for his personality and relationships with other “Islanders.” After Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales took the throne, Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, with whom he was coupled, left the villa alongside two other finalist couples after more than a month of filming.

Henry Halverson, his fraternity brother and former college roommate, told the University Press while watching his friend on television that he portrayed his authentic self. Halverson said he is the type of person who defends those around him and achieves goals without being prideful.

Halverson has access to Vansteenberghe’s social media accounts while he is away filming in Fiji. He says over 75 million users have viewed Vansteenberghe’s Instagram page since the show premiered earlier this summer.

The Green Eyeshade Awards are the nation’s oldest and largest regional journalism contest. Sofia won the first place for the college “Column Writing” category for “No democracy without journalism – a lesson from Woodward and Bernstein.”

Her piece dives into the legacy of journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, who exposed the Watergate break-in of 1972. She wrote the column following their talk at FAU on Feb. 8, 2024, where they discussed the role of journalism in today’s democracy.

From Boca Raton to the big leagues, the Florida Atlantic men’s basketball program made history with not one, not two, but three players earning spots in the 2025 NBA Draft class.

Former FAU stars Johnell Davis, Alijah Martin, and Vladislav Goldin either heard their names called or signed with NBA teams on Wednesday, June 25, becoming the first players in program history to make it to the league.

While none of the three finished their college careers at FAU, their journey to the pros was fueled by the national spotlight FAU earned during its historic Final Four run in 2023, the first in school history.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that six state public university systems, including Florida, will launch a new accrediting body called the Commission for Public Higher Education to end “woke accreditation cartels” that certify educational institutions. 

DeSantis made the announcement during a press conference at Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton campus. In addition to Florida, the new accreditor will oversee public university systems in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

Dozens of protesters descended on Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton campus Wednesday to express their distaste over the confirmation of a president at a campus more than 400 miles away.

Some Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University community members are unhappy with Marva Johnson, who the Florida State University System Board of Governors confirmed at the meeting on campus. To them, Johnson represents the state’s shift towards a politically infested higher education system.

Iana Bridges, a sophomore criminal justice student at FAMU, has one piece of advice for other students concerned with the recent events within the state university system: “Stay aware.”

“Be present, stay informed on Board of Trustees meetings, Board of Governors meetings. Get to know your peers so that you can form as one unit at your university, so that if you feel the need to fight back against these types of things, you can fight back,” Bridges said.

“I do feel that women are very underrepresented in the military, so I think that it’s amazing that everyone came together as not only a school but as a community to celebrate women veterans,” said Tucker Bileau, who works as a coordinator for the Military and Veteran Student Success Team at FAU.

The FAU community celebrated National Women Veterans Recognition Day and heard testimonies from women veterans within the community. In 2000, women comprised just 4 percent of the veteran population, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. By 2040, they are projected to make up 18 percent, making them the fastest-growing group of veterans.

Florida Atlantic University proudly marks itself as one of the most diverse public universities in the state. Yet, officials renamed the 15-year-old Diversity Way walkway – once a symbol of that pride – to Opportunity Way.

At the FAU Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, the board approved the new name for the walkway between Dade Avenue and Parking Garage 2 on the Boca Raton campus. The BOT originally named this walkway in 2010 to promote diversity and school spirit. Now, President Adam Hasner sees the new name not as a move away from those values, but as a reflection of FAU’s new identity as an “Opportunity University.”

I leave today believing even more strongly that journalism is the backbone of a democracy. Now more than ever, student journalism, local journalism and national journalism are essential. Every piece written and every interview done has an impact.

I wish nothing but the best to the upcoming generation, to the UP and to the whole FAU community. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to be a part of this. 

This isn’t the last time you’ll hear from me – just the beginning of everything I came here to become.
