Campus Recreation Spotlight

FSU Campus Recreation is a unique resource on campus that offers services to students, faculty, and the FSU community, and even the Tallahassee Community. From fitness to outdoor activities to intramural sports, FSU Campus Recreation has so much to take advantage of. They also are a great source of employment on campus for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for full-time employees.

Winter break is a much anticipated time of the year for both students and their families. You are excited for your student to return home and spend time with family while your student is excited to finally have a break from the hectic fall semester. These two thought processes are conflicting; you may want to spend time with your student and do activities with them while they may want to have time to themselves and take a breather from busy days. This can cause friction between students and families. 

One of the most beneficial resources that Florida State University has to offer on its campus is the Career Center. The Career Center has creatively developed an effective, collaborative, interdepartmental array of career services for students and other University constituents. Located in the Dunlap Student Success Center, the Career Center strives to be the preeminent career center model for designing and delivering comprehensive, innovative, and inclusive career and employment services. 

Going out to clubs and bars is a past time for many college-aged students across the nation. These outings can be fun for social opportunities with friends and to connect with other students from the institution. However, what has become a common issue is the use of fake IDs. The FSU Police Department made over 30 arrests for fraudulent IDs in the first two months of Fall 2021.

At Florida State University, we often hear students refer to this school and campus as a “home away from home,” but what does this really mean? What actually makes FSU a home? The answer varies from person to person depending on what they are involved in on campus, but there are some notable homelike attributes at Florida State University that the community as a whole can recognize.

Is your family or your student facing food insecurity? At Florida State University, we are very fortunate to have several resources on our campus that support students facing financial instability. Did you know that the Department of Student Support and Transitions runs a food pantry for currently enrolled students who are facing food insecurity? Located in University Center A, Suite 4148, the Food for Thought Pantry, a partnership with Second Harvest of the Big Bend, provides food and other items to students to make sure that their shelves and freezers stay stocked.
