When our team attended the ribbon cutting for FSU’s new Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence, one message stood out to us:
Dr. Herbert Wertheim spoke about strengthening health care by strengthening the business leaders behind it.
Perspective is powerful because it reminds us that business education is not only about companies and careers — it’s about building the systems, decision-making, and leadership that improve entire industries and communities.
What Florida State has created is more than a building. It is a real investment in what students can become.
At 218,392 square feet, it is now the largest academic building on campus: bringing learning, collaboration, recruiting, and professional development into one place.
Nearly 10,000 students take a business course each semester, and enrollment has grown more than 30% in five years.
This space finally matches the ambition of the students walking through it.
The outcomes already speak for themselves: top-ranked programs and job placement rates as high as 97.5% in some majors.
What this environment gives students:
✅ More access to recruiters
✅ More room to collaborate
✅ More exposure to real-world tools
✅ More opportunities to practice professionalism before graduation
Our founder is an FSU business graduate, and she states that this is the kind of environment that helps students think bigger, move faster, and step into their careers with confidence.
We recently spoke with an FSU marketing student, and what stood out most was her intentionality.
Building relationships, using resources, and putting herself in the right rooms.
That mindset, paired with a facility like this, is a serious advantage.
FSU business students are not just learning business; they are being positioned to lead in it.
If Dr. Wertheim is right, that leadership will strengthen not just companies, but health care, communities, and the future economy too.
