An FSU pro­fes­sor who really stands out for Erin Munsel, FSU Honors sopho­more in pre-pharmacy, is Dr. Clifton Franklund. Munsel had Franklund for micro­bi­ol­ogy. (more…)

“Mormons make me wish my apart­ment had a peep­hole.” That was my Facebook sta­tus toward the begin­ning of this semester.

We’ve all seen them walk­ing around cam­pus before…the men who are dressed way too dap­per to be ordi­nary col­lege stu­dents. Two of them, Elder Jones and Elder Ballard, approached me on cam­pus. In talk­ing with them, I real­ized just how lit­tle I knew about Mormonism. (more…)

Tirzah Price and Kristy Britton, alumni of St. Peter’s, have decided to donate some of their time to help the school raise funds to help sup­port itself.
