For the Fellows representing the 30 ICUF member establishments, the annual ICUF Day on the Capital is the culminating occasion of their advocacy for the Efficient Entry to Scholar Schooling (EASE / previously FRAG) grant. Our University students had the chance to satisfy with Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis, and lots of members of the Florida Legislature (please see hooked up images).
