FAMU will host its first-ever Accepted Students Day on Friday, May 29, to welcome recently admitted ---of the Class of 2024-- students and their families to “The Hill”. While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced this first-ever event online, the FAMU faculty, staff, and students still expect to give newly admitted students the best true Rattler welcome they can to ensure them that they made the right choice.
FAMU hopes this virtual experience will provided students and families with the tools to finalize their decision to attend to the University.
“It is always exciting to enter Florida A&M University,” said President Larry Robinson, Ph.D., who will be among those welcoming the new students. “We want our incoming students to know that their choice of FAMU will have immediate positive impacts and provide a solid foundation for their future success. At FAMU, “Excellence with Caring,” has real meaning.”
“We understand that talented students can attend any school,” said William Hudson, Jr.,
Ph.D., vice president for Student Affairs. “We are honored when they chose FAMU.
During the six and a half-hour event, various divisions, colleges and schools will share videos, stories, welcome messages. For those who missed it, there will be a re-sharing of the Virtual Preview. There will also be a Facebook live featuring student and University leaders and students from Greek and Student organizations. The day will end with a Virtual Dance party with a DJ who is an incoming freshman. Current students, alumni, staff and faculty are being encouraged to participate on social media and other platforms.
