FLORIDA 330S4 DEAN OF STUDENTS ' OFFICE A Message To The Students: An anonymous writer has stated, to look is one thing. To see what you look at is another. To understand what you see is a third. To learn from what you understand is still some- thing else. But to act on what you learn is what really matters. As you leave Florida Memorial College and move out into your various communities to begin your I ife ' s career, it is my hope that you can look, see, and understand all of these better as a result of having matriculated at Florida Memorial College. We hope that your many learning experiences (educational, social, spiritual and cultural) have adequately prepared you to be able to act upon what you ' ve learned as well as make your way into the many walks of life. May your Alma Mater become a cause for which you will act, work, and take a stand to support financially. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Doris N. Carter, Dean of Students Doris N. Carter, Dean of Students
