History Maker in Residence
Flagler College is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural History Maker in Residence program, a new initiative designed to bring nationally recognized thought leaders to campus for immersive, multi-day residencies that engage students and employees in meaningful conversations around creativity, advocacy, leadership, and impact.
The program kicks off this fall with two dynamic figures who have shaped culture and history through different, yet equally powerful, means: R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series, and Erin Brockovich, renowned environmental activist and consumer advocate.
