ISC MISSION STATEMENT
ISC Mission Statement
We are proud to announce the formation of the Florida State
University (FSU) Internet Seminole Club (ISC), the first Internet-based
alumni/booster club of which we are aware. This "first" status was confirmed
by an FSU Administration Lexis-Nexis search. The ISC was founded with the
idea of uniting Alumni and friends of the University who are displaced
geographically or otherwise prohibited from forming, or becoming physically
involved in, a local Alumni or Booster club. The Internet Seminole Club
is intended to provide a medium to help strengthen ties between the University
and these displaced alumni and friends.
Consonant with the mission of the FSU Alumni Association, the mission of the ISC includes efforts "to aid, strengthen, and expand Florida State University in every proper and useful way, and to develop, strengthen and utilize the bonds of interest, sympathy, and affection existing between the University and its alumni, and among the alumni themselves."
The intended primary mission of the ISC is to provide an opportunity for the thousands of alumni and friends of the University, who make use of the Internet, to feel a renewed tie to the University by joining the ISC. As with all Seminole Clubs, this interaction is intended to provide additional support to both the academic and athletic programs of FSU through cooperation with the FSU Foundation, Inc. and the Seminole Boosters, Inc., respectively. The tangible benefits to each member and the University can become great; intangible benefits, such as increased camaraderie among geographically isolated alumni and friends, already are mounting.
We intend for the ISC to be active in a variety of endeavors for furthering both academic and athletic goals at FSU. We hope to attract alumni, friends, and supporters of FSU. These supporters may include both corporate sponsors and individuals wishing to donate to the Alumni/endowment funds.
Specific functions and services of ISC websites will include the following:
