First-Generation Alumni Network

The First-Generation Alumni Network aims to cultivate an engaged community of FSU first-generation alumni who actively promote the resilience of their peers, advocate for the distinct needs of first-generation alumni and students, and offer support through mentorship, events, and community-based initiatives.

As a recognized First Scholars Institution by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), FSU is home to a thriving first-generation community. Currently, 25% of FSU’s undergraduates identify as students whose parents or legal guardians do not hold a bachelor’s degree. With more than 30,000 first-generation FSU alumni, including more than 17,000 who participated in CARE, this initiative seeks to cultivate an engaged and supportive community that promotes professional growth and philanthropy among FSU’s first-generation graduates.

Veteran Alumni Society

In 1947, veterans returning from World War II enrolled at the Florida State College for Women and, as a result, FSCW became Florida State University. It is because of this proud veterans legacy – and in service to those currently enrolled service members, past and present – that Florida State has committed itself to creating and sustaining the most veteran friendly and empowering university in the nation. The Veterans Alumni Society was established to foster and enhance relationships between veteran alumni and currently enrolled student-veterans, as well as veterans who are Florida State faculty and staff members.
