Florida State University honored the creative and intellectual contributions of its faculty and staff Thursday during the 2026 FSU Authors Day.  

This year’s event recognized 130 books and compositions published by FSU faculty and staff over the past year, representing more than 50 areas and departments across the university. 

The event, a collaboration between the Office of Faculty Development and Advancement and FSU Libraries, turned the historic Beth Moor lounge into a gallery of academic achievement. Attendees spent the afternoon recognizing the collection of scholarly monographs, textbooks, poetry collections, art books, and one book for children.  

“The books on display reflect the remarkable depth and range of our academic community,” said FSU Provost Jim Clark. “They include groundbreaking research and thoughtful analysis, powerful creative works and essential textbooks. Each one represents years of dedication, curiosity and perseverance.”

FSU Authors Day acknowledged and honored faculty and staff who contributed to these publications. The showcase highlighted the diversity of their work, representing the fields of STEM, arts, humanities and social sciences.

“Authors Day is a great opportunity to gather faculty authors and celebrate their work as a community,” said FSU Provost Jim Clark. “Even if you’re in the room with people who published projects totally different from your field, what you have in common is the knowledge of the hard work it took. It creates a level of joy and satisfaction incomparable to anything else we do here.”
