Often, we say goodbye to our students as they move on to the next chapter of their lives. Every so often, we have the joy of seeing that journey come full circle.

That is the case with former FSW students Isabell Martinez and Nayaly Maldonado, who have returned to FSW as project engineers with Skanska to help lead the renovation of Building L, Humanities Hall.

Since 1979, generations of students have explored music, art, theater and design in Building L. It is also home to the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at FSW, a treasured cultural space that connects the Southwest Florida community with world-class contemporary art. When completed in Fall 2027, the renovation will strengthen Humanities Hall's role as a hub for creativity, learning and community engagement.

Seeing Isabell and Nayaly return to FSW as professionals helping shape the college's future is a powerful reminder of the impact of an FSW education.
