Alumni Spotlight |
This is an exciting time for Honors alumni and friends as we launch this web page that will provide us with opportunities to stay connected with our FSU Honors community.
Learn more about how to stay involved on this page, and explore the whole website to lean more about the current Honors Program.
With your help and support, we hope to build an even stronger relationship between our alumni and current Honors students that will ensure the continuity of FSU’s tradition of promoting undergraduate excellence.
Ways to Stay Involved
1. Connect with Honors: We hope to develop this page to increase our contacts with alumni and to keep our friends informed about current activities of the program and our students. Let us know what is new with you by completing the attached Alumni Contact Form.
2. Spotlight on Alumni: We plan to feature alumni and their after-graduation success stories on this page. Use the Alumni Contact Form above to tell us about your career path and professional highlights.
3. Sponsor an Intern: Internships can provide valuable experience for students in many fields. We are always looking to provide such opportunities for our motivated Honors students. Internships can be paid or unpaid positions, and they can be for any length of time.
If you can offer such a position in your profession or field, please contact us at honors@fsu.edu. Include a brief paragraph describing the nature of the internship, location, preferred hours, minimum qualifications/skills, whether the internship is paid or volunteer, and your contact information. We’ll post the information; interested students will respond directly to you.
4. Make a Gift: The FSU Honors Program invites you to support distinctive curricular and extracurricular offerings, including enhanced opportunities and resources for Honors students' research, academic travel, and cultural enrichment. Below are some of the ways to make your gift:
The Honors Program General Development Fund: This fund enables the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and the Honors Director to address significant opportunities for program development and to address areas of immediate need.
The Honors Program “50 for 250” Scholarship Endowment: This is a special campaign for the Honors Program to raise endowed funds for Honors Thesis grants and other Honors research opportunities.
You are cordially invited to be one of the 50 Honors alumni to pledge $1000 each for five years and raise $250,000 to fund Honors Thesis grants and other research opportunities for Honors undergraduates.
The best way to give your gift is through the Florida State University Foundation's online gift page. Should you prefer to send your donation to the Honors Program via regular mail, please make your check payable to: FSU Foundation, Inc. Be sure to specify the Honors Program in the memo field, so your gift will be restricted for that purpose.
For more information about giving to the Honors Program, please contact Patrick Leite at (850)644-1398 or at pleite@foundation.fsu.edu.
