FOCUS ON PHILANTHROPY Professor Florence Helen Ashby and Laird B. Anderson By Jessica Pollack
A stained-glass window honoring the Marching Chiefs was ceremonially unveiled on September 20, 2019 in the FSU Heritage Museum. Florence Ashby, FSU alumna and member of the band in the 1950s, funded the project.
My very positive experience at Florida State and how accepted and welcomed I felt here gave me the feeling that Florida State was my home. My husband and I never had children, but we always considered FSU our family. We have always been thankful to feel so close to the school and the people we encountered here and wanted to contribute so that others could feel that connection, too.” – Florence Ashby 38
