You are a part of the largest demographic in the Florida State alumni family. The Young Alumni Seminoles are growing at a fantastic rate and account for 37% of all living alumni. You have graduated in the last 10 years, and now is the time for you to expand your impact, engage in your new community and increase your potential. The Young Alumni Network is here to help ensure this new journey is joy-filled. The Young Alumni Council aims to implement programs and activities that will engage recent graduates of Florida State University. Through this servant leadership, the council guides the staff of the Alumni Association on matters of concern to young alumni. The council is made up of 20 at-large members who serve for three-year terms. Individuals interested in joining apply annually in the spring for council members and are selected by the current council. The council’s primary responsibilities are to create initiatives that create opportunities for young alumni to reconnect with the university and to advise staff on how to improve young alumni engagement. Examples of the great work the council does include determining the honorees for the Reubin O’D. Askew Young Alumni Award and planning the yearly Young Alumni Weekend.
