A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Flagler Students,

Welcome to the 20-21 Academic Year – a year that is sure to be like none other. I want to commend you for your resiliency and agility that are evident in your pursuit of an advanced degree and has led you to Flagler this year. As president, I pledge to you a campus-wide commitment to ensuring that your student experience includes everything that makes a Flagler education special: a personalized, transformative education; an engaging and inclusive campus with a vibrant student life; and a welcome into the Flagler campus and the beautiful city of St Augustine.

This is the year of the Healthy Saint. Our core values will anchor us in our pursuit of a campus community who are dedicated to building a respectful and inclusive community; practicing citizenship with integrity; providing stewardship and the care for each other; pursuing a transformative learning. It is in our care of others that we are able to come together safely and engage in a transformative learning environment.

To this end, I encourage you to uphold the Healthy Saints Pledge we all signed at the start of the semester as you engage in the multitude of student engagement opportunities offered across campus. From club socials and art exhibitions to virtual crafting and e-sport competitions, you are certain to find something and someone on campus with which to connect.

In the Student Handbook you will find information about the many support services, organizations, and activities provided by the College. You will also find information about the College’s policies, rules, and regulations. Please read this publication carefully and use it as a source of reference during your college career.

While I know this year is going to seem a bit unusual, it is my hope you use this unique time to find new ways and opportunities to connect with your fellow students, the faculty and staff and the surrounding community.

Together, we are stronger. I hope you have a successful year.

Flagler Strong,

Joseph G. Joyner, President
