Community Standards:
Here at Florida State University, it's our mission to create a positive, respectful environment where people can feel comfortable openly sharing their thoughts, ideas and opinions. We carry that same mission over into the online world. We understand that not everyone will agree with everything that's said on our page, and that's alright! We will, however, take action against things that undermine our mission to be respectful of one another. If you use vulgar, racist, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate language, we'll take it down. If we determine your messaging to be spam (especially marketing yourself, a product, or a service), we'll take it down. We don't like to remove your posts, so please, Uphold the Garnet and Gold. Help keep this community a lively, friendly and positive environment for everyone!

Meet Donald Eslinger! Eslinger is an undergraduate student in the Florida State University College of Social Sciences & Public Policy pursuing a degree in International Affairs with a minor in Intelligence and is preparing to graduate this fall.

Before coming to FSU, Eslinger served as a U.S. Army infantryman in Afghanistan. After sustaining severe combat injuries and facing a long recovery, he continued his education and set his sights on earning his degree. His experience in the military and recovery have given him a unique perspective that he now brings to his studies and future career.
