Florida State University is recognizing first-generation student veteran college students as part of Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and First-Generation College Celebration Week, a nationwide event that FSU is celebrating through Nov. 12.
“Our veteran students bring a remarkable depth of experience and resilience to Florida State University,” said Billy Francis, director of the Student Veterans Center. “Some are also the first in their families to pursue a college degree, and that unique journey shapes both their perspective and the campus community. The Student Veterans Center is committed to providing tailored support and resources to help these students thrive academically and personally.”

We did it!!! The inaugural HONOUR ROLLE Retreat was a success! @drlatoya.rolle and I brought our mentees - around 10 young, black men in pre-med, med school or medical residency - to our home in Orlando for a weekend of learning, inspiration, fellowship, service, worship, networking, and fun!! Had an amazing Brunch and Learn session w/ extraordinary community impact leaders @alisiaesq, @basicorlando25, @malcolmenowlin, @johnfdavisjd! Toured the amazing Orlando Fisher House where Veteran families are housed for free while their loved ones are at the hospital. Had a blast bowling at @splitsville.orlando. Received an uplifting word out of Luke from Pastor Tim Johnson at @orlandowoc. Then capped it off with a fun night at @disney Hollywood Studios. These young men are the future. They bonded, they connected, they supported each other, they held each other accountable, they challenged each other, they grew together! Pouring into them filled us up!! So proud of them! Thank you to Dr Will Curry, Dr Theresa Williamson, Dr Magnus Ekedede, Mr Ron Nesbitt and YBME for helping sponsor us and making this dream come true. Thanks to Niajee for her assistance. Changing the narrative! #twopercentway #TheFutureIsTheirs #BlackInMedicine

💎 HELP SOLVE A CRIME! The woman in these photos spent several minutes browsing Kay's Jewelers on Manatee Ave. W. before asking to try on a $8,000 wedding set. She placed the rings on her hand and then said I do (want to steal them). (1/3) https://t.co/w8acGbCHt6
