Brooke Martin—Master of Public Administration (MPA) student with FSU’s Reubin O’D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy—recently received the Hoffman Public Service Award at the Gubernatorial Fellows Reception, held at the Governor’s Mansion on April 14, 2026.

The award recognizes former Florida Gubernatorial Fellows who have continued their careers in public service after completing the program. The Florida Gubernatorial Fellows Program provides graduate and undergraduate students with hands-on experience in public service and policymaking by immersing them in influential areas of state government.

“It was a meaningful recognition, especially as my work with the Florida Division of Emergency Management has allowed me to continue supporting Florida communities before, during, and after disasters,” Martin said. “I chose Florida State University for its strong public administration program and its location in the state capital, which offers direct exposure to policymaking. The program’s focus on practical, applied learning aligns closely with my work in public service.”
