All of us at Florida State University College of Law invite you to join us for the 2025 Homecoming Weekend festivities. Law school events begin Friday evening with a happy hour for all alumni sponsored by Greenberg Traurig. On Saturday, all alumni are invited to our Alumni Board meeting, and all alumni and their families are invited to the tailgate party on the law school's James Harold Thompson Green prior to the FSU v. Wake Forest game. The weekend will conclude on Sunday with a 50-Year Alumni Brunch celebrating the Class of 1975 sponsored by Bruce Blackwell, Phil Blank, Sam Boge, Judge Claudia Rickert Isom and Woody Isom | Isom Mediation, Susan Norton | Allen Norton & Blue, and Betty Steffens. In addition, the classes of 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015 are celebrating reunions, and we encourage members of these classes to connect at our festivities.
I look forward to seeing you and your families!
