UNCONQUERED CAMPAIGN

In this spirit, FSU is announcing The Unconquered Campaign. This five-year effort will represent Seminole Boosters, Florida State Athletics and Florida State University making a combined investment of $100 million in our athletic program. This will be a significant commitment toward FSU Athletics and will positively affect the lives of every Seminole Student-Athlete.

PAR FOR THE COURSE DON VELLER SEMINOLE GOLF COURSE

Beginning in August of 2018, the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course will receive an $8 million renovation by the Jack Nicklaus Design Group. When it reopens in the fall of 2019, the course will be transformed into the nation’s first Nicklaus Legacy Course. This special designation will make it a bucket list destination for golfers visiting Tallahassee and help the Seminole Golf Program attract the nation’s best student-athletes. It serves as a lead investment in the creation of the new “Gateway District” which includes a scenic road connecting the Tallahassee International Airport and the FSU Campus. The Gateway District, which includes over 900 acres owned by FSU, will be a key for the future growth of the university.

The course renovation is being jointly funded by Seminole Boosters, the athletic department and the university.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLPARK DICK HOWSER BASEBALL STADIUM As we enter the final season of Head Coach Mike Martin, FSU looks to the future of Seminole Baseball with the proposed renovation of Howser Stadium.

Since its opening in 1983, the facility has hosted over four million fans and countless great players and teams.

As it reaches its 35th anniversary, the university has developed a master plan to prepare it for future generations of service to college baseball’s greatest fans.

Phase I of the renovations is anticipated to cost $6 million and will include: t New field lighting t Construction of permanent bleachers down 3rd base t A new team building and enhanced entrance t Renovated team weight room.

Additionally, needed infrastructure will be done throughout the stadium to make sure all fans can safely enjoy their time watching the Noles.

The project will be funded entirely by Seminole Boosters through the generosity of its donors. Additional planning and construction will be contingent upon receiving needed funding.

MAKING THE TRANSITION DONALD L. TUCKER CENTER

Beginning with the $17 million renovation of the arena prior to the 2014-15 seasons, FSU has made several strategic investments in its basketball programs. The payoff has been evident as both teams once again advanced to the NCAA tournament for a second straight year.

Phase II of the Donald L. Tucker Center renovations is the final step in completing the vision for the home of FSU basketball. The construction of new team lounges

and other student-athlete spaces will provide members of the men’s and women’s basketball first-class areas to study, relax and build relationships with teammates away from the court. These areas will be important for Coaches Hamilton and Semrau as they recruit future greats to wear the Garnet and Gold!

The anticipated cost of the Phase II renovations is $4 million and will begin after funding has been identified.

50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF WOMEN’S INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Women’s athletics has held a rich tradition in Tallahassee since the early 1900’s when Florida State was the Florida State College for Women; the 2018-19 season marks the 50th Anniversary of a continuous women’s intercollegiate program at FSU. Since volleyball took the floor in 1968 as the first-ever women’s intercollegiate sport for the Seminoles, FSU has been a national leader in promoting and supporting women’s athletics. Florida State has won seven national championships over the last 50 years including last year’s softball national championship.

In honor and appreciation of the history and accomplishments of our women student-athletes past, present and future, Seminole Boosters has set a goal of raising $5 million in new support. This will be used to help fund scholarships and facilities.

SCHOLARSHIPS Athletic scholarships help Florida State University maintain a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top student-athletes and are a vital component that enable our programs to continue to grow and enrich the lives of all who step foot on our campus. More than 80% of Seminole athletic scholarship recipients receive an undergraduate degree -- including a high percentage of first-generation college students -- and their lives, and future generations of their family are changed as a result.

Seminole Boosters, through the generous support of its donors, fund all scholarships for 399 FSU studentathletes totaling more than $11 million per year. This total comes from earnings from our scholarship endowment and unrestricted contributions to the annual fund.

Florida State has one of the largest athletic endowments in the ACC with $63 million. During the Unconquered Campaign, the goal is to receive $9 million in new pledges toward the endowment with the long-term vision to fully endow the entire scholarship program.
