GP: Do you have any advice for students? My advice for students is to push yourselves as much as you can. Use the time here to grow as much as you can. Students can settle for complacency and mediocrity, and I think that it’s very important to push and try to get to the next level. And we’re here to help you do that. I really try to convey to students to reach their That’s part of pushing yourself to the next level, in your classes and in other parts of campus life.

In addition to the 67 students in Pathways, this year FSU welcomed the largest incoming class in the school’s history.

Conley also said there were “90 or so” non-matriculated students - students only taking one or two who are not attending FSU full time, as opposed to matriculated students, who are enrolled in degree programs and attend FSU full time. At the Sept. 24 Board of Trustees meeting, Admissions Dean Spencer announced that at that time there were 924 freshmen and 433 transfer students. Spencer also announced that the average SAT score for the incoming class was 1022, up last year from in scores from Pathways students. Conley said, “I’ve heard from
