Background

Scope and content:

The materials in this record group cover a time period from the 1920s through 2010s. The amount of material varies by event, as some may have several documents, photos, etc., while others may only have a single brochure or program.

Biographical / historical:

Throughout the years, Florida Southern College has developed or hosted events designed to enhance the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual life of the college community. Orientation programs, concerts, blood drives, etc. all work to bring the community together and demonstrate that we can all be part of something bigger than ourselves, if only for an afternoon or evening.

This collection highlights many of the events that have taken place on or around the FSC campus since the 1920s. These are events that do not fit into a specific or larger program, such as commencement, the Festival of Fine Arts, or Founders' Week. While it is nowhere near exhaustive, this collection provides a sense of what life outside the classroom could involve. Of special note are concerts from world renowned groups such as Dave Matthews Band, FSC's role as a filming location in The Waterboy, hosting the Remnant Trust series of historic works, and community service events.
