This month we are excited to highlight our student leaders, faculty and more who have contributed to FAMU’s cultural fabric and/or create historic moments everyday.

📰 On Tuesday, March 4, the City of Tallahassee will honor three people with lasting tributes to their accomplishments – new street signage that bears their names. The street naming ceremony will be held outside the Alfred Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center, 1800 Althea Gibson Way, at 10 a.m.

At its January 15 meeting, the Tallahassee City Commission voted unanimously to rename streets for former Florida A&M University football coach Rudy Hubbard and two alumnae, the late Dr. Carolyn Ryals and the late E. Lilyan Spencer, both educators and community servants.

"By honoring these three outstanding individuals, the City celebrates how they each uplifted the community, especially because of their contributions to education, athletics and community outreach," Mayor John Dailey said. "It's my hope that having these names prominently displayed on street signs will continue to inspire everyone who sees them."
