    July 22, 2021 Deans & Department Chairs- It’s hard to believe that we are already at the end of July and looking at Fall starting a month from now. We have all faced truly unprecedented times and I once again thank you all for your hard work and ongoing efforts. Over the next few weeks additional informational emails will be sent out to a broader university community about the Fall start. Please watch for those messages and make sure they are shared as needed. As a reminder, registration for Fall is currently open. Orientation is ongoing as well. In this last year your instructors have demonstrated amazing flexibility and some truly innovational teaching techniques. I support and encourage that continued innovation. I applaud that ongoing effort, but also want to remind you of some basic parameters that must inform your decisions about Fall classes. As always, Space and Scheduling is available for questions and support. Face-to-Face classes and online approval Any class section already built and coded as face-to-face must remain coded as face-to-face, even if an online course approval is received prior to the start of Fall classes. You may add a new section that is coded as an online offering, adjust instructors across different sections, or even combine\co-list sections and teach them together. Students and parents have made housing, travel, and assorted planning decisions based on the Fall schedule. Changing instruction mode at this late date is not feasible and will negatively affect the students. Flex classes on Tallahassee campus Flex classes are still an option for Fall on the Tallahassee campus.

  • Campus During World War II
    Campus During World War II With the passing of the Buckman act in 1905, the University you now stand in front of became the “Florida Female College”, a school for women only. The name was changed to the Florida State College for Women in 1909, and the University would remain a female liberal arts college through Depression and War until 1947. That fateful year brought the end of World War II and with it the G.I. Bill, granting free education to scores of veterans who previously could not afford it. Anticipating the overcrowding at the University of Florida (the state’s male college), FSCW was officially changed to The Florida State University on May 15, 1947. The name change would come hand in hand with admitting boys to the school, thus making it coeducational. This tour will take you through the FSCW campus during the last years of its existence; when herds of boys where arriving to train at Dale Mabry Airfield and other places in and around Tallahas- see, news of the impending war occupied the latest gossip, and the FSCW cam- pus started to see very i m p o r t a n t changes, both structurally and socially. It would be best to start your tour at the main entrance to the campus, the West- cott build- ing. It was a classroom and office building, and also the home of the Campus Post Office and bookstore. On February 17, 1940,first lady Eleanor Roosevelt came to the Auditorium in order to address college and state officials, students, and citizens.
