HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Homecoming at The Florida State University is rich in tradition and pride. The first Homecoming was held in 1948, which started off very simple. The Parade was held on Saturday morning, followed by the biggest game of the year that afternoon. The week concluded with a dance. In 1950, the first theme for Homecoming was introduced: “FSU All the Time.” Throughout the late 90’s and early 21st century the week was expanded. In 2003, Skit Night and Warchant were introduced to the schedule. Homecoming has become more popular each year with students, turning into what it is today.
HEY NOLES! FSU Homecoming 2012 is looking for volunteers! Spirit Force applications will be available Wednesday, August 22nd at homecoming.fsu.edu. If you’re looking to get involved, be sure to visit this website or stop by the Student Activities Center on the third floor of the Oglesby Union for more information.

A Film by Harry Shearer
A portrait of troubled British playwright Andrea Dunbar and her tumultuous relationship with her daughter. When Andrea died, tragically at the age of 29 in 1990, her daughter Lorraine was just ten years old. Now 29 years old, Lorraine is currently in prison, serving a sentence for manslaughter for the death of her son. While being rehabilitated in prison, Lorraine is re-introduced to her mother’s plays and private letters, and as she reflects on the parallels in their lives, she begins to come to terms with her role in the death of her son.
The first documentary by long-time “mockumentarian” Harry Shearer, “Th Big Uneasy” follow three remarkable people--the leaders of two scientific investigation teams, and one whistleblower--as they reveal the true story of why New Orleans flooded, and why it could happen again in communities across America. www.tallahasseefilms.com // 386.4404
