PRESIDENT’S IMPACT STATEMENT

OUR CORNERSTONE When Frank met with president, Dr. Ludd Meryl Spivey, at in 1938, no one could have imagined the importance of Mr. Wright’s designs at FSC to the overall worldwide conversation and study of architecture. The Wright buildings on the FSC campus represent the thematic elements of innovation, individualism, excellence, and global integration of great ideas and experimentation in all areas of academic study. Since our founding in 1883, the mission of Florida Southern College to prepare students through superb educational programs to make a positive and consequential impact on society has remained constant. The themes represented by Mr. Wright’s architecture are evidenced in the commitment of the College to attend to every aspect of our students’ lives — academic, social, spiritual, and physical. Through extraordinary engaged learning opportunities with world-class professors and talented students from around the world, FSC students and graduates are excelling at making the world a better place. As a private institution, we gauge our economic impact differently than institutions included in a state-school higher education system since they are the recipients of state appropriations. Yet, in May 2020, with an international pandemic swarming the world, we worked with renowned economists to study FSC’s economic impact. Measured in 2020 dollars, the economic impact of our College during the 2019-20 fiscal year to the Florida economy is: more than $388 million in gross domestic product at the regional level; more than $237 million in labor income; and more than $612 billion in overall sales; along with 4,530 jobs. The achievements of FSC graduates in the arts, science, business, law, medicine, nursing, computer science, and many other fields, continue to astound us. Mr. Wright called his collection of buildings at FSC the “Child of the Sun” campus collection. Each structure is unique and serves a specialized purpose in the delivery of our educational programs, representing a notable mosaic of educational experiences that ensures the attainment of our mission. The lasting impact of Florida Southern College to the world, just as Mr. Wright’s works symbolized, has been astounding. Our achievements are impressive, and we are positioned to build upon this framework and continue the momentum to demonstrate how an education based on innovation, individualism, excellence, great ideas, and experimentation positively and consequentially changes our world in concrete, measurable ways. Sincerely,

Anne B. Kerr, Ph.D. President FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE’S ECONOMIC IMPACT TO FLORIDA (For 2019-20 Fiscal Year, measured in 2020 dollars)

The campus is home to the largest collection of architecture in the world. Wright began work on the FSC campus in 1938 and he continued through 1958. It is reported that when Wright first visited campus, he described it as “unequaled in the beauty of use or the use of beauty anywhere on earth.” Wright imagined the buildings growing “out of the ground into the light — a Child of the Sun.” Campus tours are welcome and 100,000 visitors come to the region annually to visit. (Note: due to the COVID-19 international pandemic, tours have paused until medical experts deem it safe to resume.) The campus has seen tremendous growth recently, with many additions and surrounding properties becoming part of the College. Since 2005, Florida Southern College has completed 20 projects, including 17 constructed new buildings, a new tennis center, and completely overhauled the Barnett Athletic Complex thanks to the generous donations of alumni and friends of the College. Some of the most recent additions are: Carol Jenkins Barnett Center for Early Childhood Learning and Health, the Barney Barnett School of Business and Free Enterprise, the Roberts Academy, Star Apartments, and soon to be completed Weinstein Computer Sciences Center.
