During Flagler's Business Week 2023, three student teams were collectively awarded more than $5,000 in seed money to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life. This winning group of students competed against more than 40 peers across 16 teams in Business Week's "reverse-pitch competition." Ahead of Business Week, teams were tasked with creating a business solution to one of four key issues: affordable housing, homeowners' insurance, resiliency in coastal communities, and the future of work.

Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, welcomed 152 new initiates from 10 universities during February 2023.

Students in Flagler's core education class titled "History Detectives-Russia and Ukraine: A Turbulent History," presented their research findings on the history behind the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to visitors in the Ringhaver Student Center. In the course instructed by Professor Alex Cummins, students explored two central issues related to the conflict: the validity of Putin's justification to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, and Ukrainians' desire to have closer relations with the West than with Russia.
