Florida Southern seeks to create and nurture a community of lifelong scholars who hold one another accountable to the high ideals, vision, and mission of the College. Built upon the Judeo-Christian principles on which our College was founded, a Florida Southern Scholar will:
- Practice personal integrity and excellence of character in all areas, expecting the same from others.
- Honor the dignity, value, and worth of all persons while learning from the differences in others’ backgrounds, heritage, ideas, thoughts, and opinions.
- Respect the rights and property of others.
- Demonstrate concern for others and our collective need for conditions that promote personal growth and success.
- Contribute to the rich heritage left by those who have preceded us and work to leave the College a better place for those who follow.
