Letter from the President

Dear Friends,

A quality baccalaureate education is essential for success in today’s world and has become the most accessible conduit for opening doors into any number of professional endeavors after graduation. For most of our students, this involves working in the public, private, or non-profit sectors, or matriculating into graduate, medical or law programs.

This is especially true of Francis Marion. So many of our students are the first in their families to attend college. During their years at the university, they are presented with numerous opportunities to broaden their knowledge and pursue opportunities that their parents never envisioned. Of course, all of this is made possible by the instruction and mentoring of one of the finest faculties in higher education, a faculty that has become uniquely adept at educating first generation college students.

It is also made possible by the generous support of donors such as you – our friends – who contribute to the FMU Education Foundation. Your gifts provide scholarship opportunities for deserving students, funding to enhance our academic facilities, and endowed support for our faculty.

Thank you for this support and your enthusiastic commitment to this university and our students. We couldn’t do it without you, nor could they.
