Robert King, Florida Tech's interim president, hosted the ceremony. The guest speaker was Bart Gaetjens, area external affairs manager for Florida Power & Light Co.

"Whatever monetary rewards you will experience as you pursue your dreams and your careers, it was this investment that started it all," he said.
