The Panel discussion begins the first ever FAMU Acceptance Day, which is designed to welcome students who have applied, been admitted and accepted.

“It is always exciting to enter Florida A&M University,” said President Robinson. “We want our incoming students to know that their choice of FAMU will have immediate positive impacts and provide a solid foundation for their future success. At FAMU, “Excellence with Caring,” has real meaning.”

During the six and a half-hour Acceptance Day celebration, various divisions, colleges and schools will share videos, stories, welcome messages. For those who missed it, there will be a re-sharing of the Virtual Preview.

The day will end with a Virtual Dance party with a DJ who is an incoming freshman. Current students, alumni, staff and faculty are being encouraged to participate on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using #ChooseFAMU.

“We understand that talented students can attend any school,” said Hudson. “We are honored when they choose FAMU. It’s a sacred trust, and we are doing all we can to get them prepared not just to be successful professionally but also to make a difference in their community. The present crisis highlights the need for difference-makers in our society.”
