May 2017
Greetings !
 
With the focus this time of year on commencement activities and graduation we as alumni can each reflect on the importance of our own graduation day in our lives as we entered a life and career beyond our formal education.
 
We welcome the 2017 graduates into the FSC Alumni Association that is committed to serving all of our alumni to insure the ties that bind us together, and to serve the College we love and help it remain strong and vital.
 
Ed McMullen Sr. '58 Golden Moc
Past President, National Alumni Board of Directors

#SouthernFocus, Florida Southern's Day of Giving 2017, was a huge success! We are grateful to the hundreds of participants who helped us raise more than $136,000 for the College. These gifts were essential for the College as we move toward the end of our fiscal year on May 31.
 
If you haven't made your gift, please consider it today! A gift of any amount bolsters our alumni participation. This helps FSC rise in college rankings, and makes your degree more valuable each year. Join your friends and keep FSC On the Move! flsouthern.edu/give
