Florida Institute of Technology Celebrating 60th Anniversary

Florida Today posted an article on November 21, 2018, "Florida Tech marks 60th anniversary from humble beginnings -- and a legendary 37¢ donation," by Rick Neale. 

 Florida Institute of Technology or Florida Tech was founded as Brevard Engineering College in 1958. Initial classes held in wooden barracks at what was the Melbourne Naval Air Station. The institution later acquired buildings and property of University of Melbourne when it closed and in 1966, was renamed Florida Institute of Technology.
The institution's 60th anniversary web pages include a timeline and schedule of activities scheduled for the academic year commemorating the founding.
