In May 2025, Everglades University had the privilege of sponsoring and attending The Women’s Edge Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Florida awards luncheon, hosted at Le Méridien Dania Beach. This annual event honors women who lead some of Florida’s most influential and high-performing organizations.

Everglades University proudly participated in support of President and CEO Kristi Mollis, who earned the #23 spot on the 2025 list. This recognition marks her 12th consecutive year being named among the Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Florida—an exceptional milestone that showcases her leadership, strategic vision, and unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student achievement.

The Women’s Edge rankings evaluate women-led organizations using key indicators such as revenue growth, organizational impact, diversity, innovation, and community involvement. As an event sponsor, Everglades University was honored to help celebrate the strength and influence of women leaders across the state.

Everglades University continues to champion student success and leadership development, and we are proud that President Mollis’ dedication to purposeful leadership is reflected in this prestigious recognition.
