The Wright Place to Be is Always FSC

The Office of New Student and Family Programs takes a student-centered approach to the transition experience while introducing incoming families to all aspects of life at Florida Southern College. By fostering relationships, we connect families to the FSC community and prepare students to pursue academic and personal growth opportunities.

"My orientation experience at Florida Southern far exceeded my expectations as an incoming freshman. Placed with an orientation leader and a group that were part of my major, I immediately found common interest and felt connected to the students around me. The amount of activities and events offered for students is abundant which makes it incredibly easy to meld into the campus community. So grateful to the orientation leaders for all they do!"
