On the Cover
As seen from the Longmire Building’s south entrance, the historic and peaceful Mina Jo Powell Alumni Green beckons students, faculty, and alumni alike to emerge from the isolation of the pandemic and rejoin the thriving Florida State community. In 1950, this lawn hosted the last of nearly 50 years of commencement ceremonies. Today, it remains a gathering place and serene setting for special occasions. Photo by McKenzie Harris.
