Maryam Laguna Borrego, assistant vice president for public affairs, was appointed to the Florida Commission on Human Relations by Governor Rick Scott. Her term runs from March 2018 through September 2021.

“I am honored by the appointment,” said Borrego, an experienced public affairs, communications, and fundraising professional who joined the University last summer.

Established in 1969 to enforce the Florida Civil Rights Acts, the commission ensures that all people have access to equal opportunities in employment, housing, and public accommodations.
