Michael Forrest, a senior in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science from Lauderhill FL, just completed his final semester as a guard with the FAU鈥檚 Men鈥檚 Basketball Team. The team has seen its greatest season in program history, and Michael has been at the heart of it all.
Forrest was brought to FAU by Coach Dusty May, when a visit to FAU in April of 2018 sealed the deal in his decision to attend. Coach May spoke of Michael鈥檚 energy, grit, and toughness as his most notable contributions to the team, characteristics also necessary for success in his academic career with the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
