Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement

Founded at FSU in 1968 as Horizons Unlimited, the Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement has provided support to first-generation college students.

The Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement was created at the Florida State University in January 2000, in effect combining two long-established institutional academic support programs. These programs were the Horizons Unlimited Program, and the Summer Enrichment Program. Both of these programs were designed to provide equality and access for disadvantaged students.

On March 24, 2023 at 5:30PM in SSB 201, we will be having a Brotherhood Mixer which will give men of color at Florida State the opportunity to come together in fellowship and community. My goal for this event is to provide a space for men of color at FSU to network and share potential opportunities for growth and personal expansion. There will also be discussion questions present to generate conversation around masculinity, success, and personal development. Food will be provided as well! Although this event is dedicated to building community among men of color, this event is open to anyone who is dedicated to the supporting and advocating for men of color at Florida State, regardless of gender, race, or any other identity.

Please feel free to share this event with any of your friends that may or may not be involved in CARE would also be interested in attending!

Please RSVP to attend this event no later than March 10th at 12PM Noon at the following link: https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9KN4ZKriMyMimb4 . Hope to see you there!
