LAKELAND, Fla. (March 28, 2005) -Florida Southern College's Student Government Association will hold its second annual Homecoming parade on April 2 at 1:15 p.m. starting on Callahan Court. The parade proceeds to Lake Hollingsworth Drive, around the lake, and back up Callahan. The public is invited to enjoy the event. 

Fourteen student-run organizations around campus will build floats depicting their experiences at FSC through their participation in student life. "The organizations have worked very hard to create fun and creative floats to show off their FSC pride. I am excited to see everyone's hard work come together, and I hope we get a lot of support from our community," said Corina Round, parade coordinator for SGA.

"I am very excited about the parade," said Dr. Anne B. Kerr, whose inauguration as the college's new president takes place April 1. "Our students have great ideas and are wonderful at planning major campus events."

Judges will award prizes for first and second place floats at the Pipkin Bandshell following the parade.
