Our Cornerstone Values

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.
