June 2026 Recruitment Update
We appreciate the incredible support the FSCJ family provided for our Campus Discovery Days. Your enthusiasm, expertise and willingness to support this four-campus showcase created interactive, high energy experiences that highlighted the FSCJ culture, learning environment and student support for prospective students and their families.
Campus Discovery Days originated from the concept of hosting open house-like events at each campus. The events came to fruition through your collaboration, enthusiasm and commitment to help area families discover or re-discover their community’s college. The Student Recruitment Office appreciates the campus teams, department personnel and student volunteers for contributing time and energy from February to May to make these events successful.

Tales from the recruitment trail. This brief message showing education is a family affair was dropped in the chat by a participant in the virtual FSCJ All In: Money Matters session last term:
"Thank you. Extremely informative. My sister and I are on with our mom."
