DEAN’S MESSAGE

THE DEAN’S MESSAGE

Last fall, we unveiled the FSU PC Promise as our commitment to offering our students the resources they need to become the best version of themselves. Our promise includes becoming partners with our students and ensuring that they are prepared for the path they set for themselves. After they graduate, it is our promise that FSU PC will always be their home.

Ultimately, each part of the FSU PC promise focuses on one core value: student success.

By defining our core values we were able to move forward to develop a strategic and tactical plan that would guarantee we fulfilled our promise to students and the entire Northwest Florida community.

Working with faculty, staff, students and other FSU stakeholders, we developed our mission statement for the next five years: Florida State University Panama City offers life-changing educational and social opportunities that prepare students, faculty and community members to achieve their goals, develop a richer culture of diversity and foster a spirit of lifelong learning. Partnering with area military installations, industry leaders and other Florida State University departments and colleges, we tailor the educational experience to make higher education more accessible to the residents of Northwest Florida.

Along the way, faculty, staff and administration are encouraged to think bold and big when developing ideas to ensure student success and achievement while serving as a cultural and informative resource for our community.

Our Seminole family extends beyond our students and alumni. As one of the country’s Top 20 universities, we want to be a beacon of enlightenment for all residents of Northwest Florida. Once you are part of our Seminole family, we want you to continue to learn and grow as a person. We want you to become the best version of yourself, and we will do our part to offer the services and experiences to get you there.
