A message from Dean Frazier to the College of Fine Arts Community in light of yesterday's tragic events.

Dear FSU College of Fine Arts Community,

Yesterday’s tragic and heartbreaking events have left us all feeling shaken and hurting. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed in yesterday’s attack, those who were injured, and everyone who has been impacted.

What is most important now is for us to come together, supporting each other, and our FSU community through this tragedy.

To our students, we are here to support you. Know that as artists, performers, creators, scholars and the emerging leaders of our cultural institutions, you are shaping a brighter future for our community, our country, and the world. In dark times, the light of your gifts and your dedication shines even brighter, and your work is more important than ever.

With great sadness, we report that Dr. Nancy Smith Fichter, 94, passed on Friday.

It is with great joy that we remember Nancy and all that she brought to each of our lives, Florida State University, and all of the art and artists mentored and supported through the years.

Additional details on how Nancy's memory will be honored are forthcoming. In the mean time, do it with love!

I have been recently informed that the FSU Faculty Senate has conferred the status of Professor Emeritus to me.
I am very proud of the national recognition and achievements of the MFA Technical Production Program, recognition earned through the hard work and dedication of hundreds of friends, colleagues, students, and others over the last two plus decades, achievement that cannot be attributed to any one person.
That said, I am deeply aware and appreciative of the honor this award indicates, and I humbly thank all involved.
