March 2017
Hi Everyone,
 
With March upon us we can't help but be reminded of our Florida Southern Spring Breaks! It was a time of carefree days with friends that would last a lifetime. And a time of hope and excitement for all that lay ahead. 
 
No matter what Florida Southern era we come from, whether we are Golden Mocs or recent grads, we all share that Florida Southern spirit! The college is definitely "on the move" but it will always maintain that certain special something that can only be described as Florida Southern College.
