Let's Connect!
As an alumnus and professor who has taught at the college for forty years at the end of this fall semester, I can say that there has never been a more exciting time to be involved with Florida Southern. All the new buildings and a campus that has been transformed into a Garden of Eden are signs of a renewed academic and social focus on our students and their learning and lives. Already student leaders are on retreat, athletes are beginning practice, and the faculty will soon meet, preparing for the new academic year and to welcome the largest number of incoming students ever. I invite all alumni to remember and share again in the anticipation and hope that builds on campus at this time of year.
