Enrich students first-year experience

Our First-Year Experience initiative, created to engage business-intent freshmen in their first year on campus, includes a new Engage 100 class and, beginning in fall 2024, a Business Living-Learning Community. Housed in Azalea Hall, business-intent freshmen will live together and engage with the college and explore their career interests – as soon as they step foot on campus.

The initiative also features Mark Zeigler, a long-respected and -beloved FSU faculty member who recently joined the college to become director of First-Year Experience Programs. Zeigler touts FSU’s uniqueness and penchant for offering “something for everyone.”

A senior lecturer, he takes the same approach with his students, saying he works to ensure that they “can be a responsible member of a community and carve out a role, a niche, and that they can contribute and feel good about the time that they’ve had here on this earth.”

Learn more about Mark’s passion for teaching and what he tells students about FSU:
