FCSA – Florida Caribbean Student Association
At a “gathering” of different Caribbean organizations in 1991, FCSA was officially established on Florida State University’s campus. The Florida Caribbean Students Association (FCSA) is an umbrella organization that mobilizes Caribbean Student Associations in the Florida College and University system and serves as a median of interaction between Caribbean stude4tns throughout the state of Florida. The current FCSA advisor, Mr. Marlon Hill (a graduate of FSU), was the founding president of FCSA. Today, FCSA has become the mother organization to over thirty organizations at different colleges and universities across the state of Florida. The first “gathering” ahs since progressed to what is currently know ass FCSA’s Biannual Conference. The Conference lasts one weekend in both the Fall and Spring School Semesters, and travels to a different college/university each semester conference registration is open to everyone, including current FCSA members, past alumni and the general public.
