From the moment you accepted your admission into Florida State University, the FSU Alumni Association has been cheering you on every step of the way. We hope all students eventually graduate and join our ranks of over 410,000 living alumni. We offer so many ways for students to connect with the Alumni Association, before you even graduate. Student Programs Student Scholarships The Student Alumni Association Countdown to Graduation Countdown to Graduation: 100 Days ‘Til Graduation Come out to Landis Green for fun, food, games and more as we kick off the countdown to Spring Commencement. Hear from different parts of campus about all the possibilities for your future—whether it’s grad school, a professional certificate or even working for FSU! This event is open to all students. Countdown to Graduation: Grad Fairs Grad Fairs are hosted in the months leading up to each commencement ceremony in the spring, summer and fall. These events provide opportunities to place your cap and gown orders, get sized and order a class ring, and learn how to stay connected to FSU as alumni. Countdown to Graduation: Honor Cord Distribution The FSU Alumni Association partners with the University Registrar to assist in distributing regalia for undergraduate degrees of distinction. Countdown to Graduation: Ring Ceremony The Ring Ceremony is a unique event at FSU that is exclusive to students who have purchased the official FSU ring. The ceremony marks an important milestone as students celebrate their FSU journey and take a physical representation of their time on campus with them wherever they go. At the Ring Ceremony, students hear from university leadership, have their name called to receive their ring, take a personalized photo, and participate in the ring dip tradition in Westcott Fountain at 6:51 p.m. in honor of FSU’s founding in 1851. Farewell FSU Each semester, the Alumni Association partners with the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs to celebrate graduating students at Farewell FSU. Join us at Westcott Plaza during your commencement weekend and let us celebrate your accomplishment as we welcome you to your new alumni family.
