Dear Patriots,

Welcome to Francis Marion University, a community united by education and service.  Here at FMU, we are a family committed to supporting both academic and personal growth.

Regardless of how you chose to be a part of the FMU family—whether through the Student Government Association, academic societies, political groups, special interests organizations, Athletics or Greek Life—the most important part of your college experience is building relationships, many of which will last a lifetime.  Friends, faculty, staff, and, indeed, the entire FMU community will make your time at FMU something to be cherished forever.

Francis Marion University instills in each member a sense of Patriot Pride, an ideal that you will come to embrace through learning, service, and extracurricular experiences.  Your time in college will go by in a hurry.  So, experience the “Revolution.”Make the most of every moment, have no regrets, and use the time at FMU to prepare for the opportunities that await after graduation.

Should you ever need assistance, please feel free to contact me or an SGA member.   Our number is 843-661-1361, our email is sga@fmarion.edu, and our office is located in the UC, Room 215.  We are here to serve you.

May the journey ahead be educational, fun, and rewarding.  Patriots Unite!

Yours truly,
