FAMU held an advising day at Tallahassee Community College (TCC) on Monday, Feb. 14 as part of its continuing efforts to recruit more associate of arts transfer students.“The purpose of FAMU Day at TCC day is to improve the transition of students graduating from TCC and enrolling at FAMU,” said Interim Vice President for Student Affairs William Hudson, Jr. “As the university moves forward, it is imperative that we continue to collaborate with other institutions, particularly community colleges to build stronger relationships. Consequently, this move will broaden our recruitment efforts and increase the enrollment of transfer students from Florida Community Colleges.”
Currently, FAMU offers the undergraduate Florida Community College Scholarship for transfer students that have graduated with an A.A. or A.S. degree and is not enrolled as a FAMU student.
“This is an awesome opportunity for students attending TCC take a closer look at what FAMU has to offer them,” said Hudson.
The Ammons administration has made a practice of recruiting at every Florida community college (except the Florida Keys Community College) multiple times per year.
