Help YAN support Young Alumni Across the Nation

Florida State University produces thousands of graduates each year; all eager to join the workforce, advance their careers, and grow personally and professionally. With a network of over 400,000 living alumni of FSU, there is likely a Seminole close to you wherever you go. With over 114,000 of those being under 35, that means our young alumni make up one of the largest populations of FSU graduates. The Young Alumni Network hosts programming and events throughout the year, specifically targeted to connect with these alumni during the most crucial and impactful point in their lives.  

Give back in a way that is uniquely yours through a donation in honor of your class year. Part of the class of 2015? Consider donating $20.15.

Young Alumni Signature Programming you help support:

  • Young Alumni Weekend: Held annually in a city with a large young alumni base, our Young Alumni Council hosts events for graduates of the last 10 years to connect and grow like networking events, mixers, panel discussions, exclusive activities, and more.
  • Young Alumni Reunion: This weekend of events is held each year during Homecoming. Young alumni get the chance to reconnect with old friends and participate in some of FSU’s most iconic homecoming traditions, like walking in the parade. The Young Alumni Network flagship award, the Ruben O’D Askew award, is also presented during the Florida State University Alumni Awards on the Friday of homecoming.
  • New Alumni Weekend: A new way to connect with the most recent FSU alumni. This event is held in the spring semester and involves soon-to-be graduates with the Young Alumni Network.

 

Please show your support for the newest generation of Seminoles with a monetary donation. Your contribution allows the Young Alumni Council to continue to reach more recent grads of FSU.
