As the past academic year comes to an end and this new academic year comes, so do amazing people that are part of our Stetson Community. Before we proudly welcome the newest members of ourboard, we wish first to celebrate and thank those who have left.  

With that said, we are immensely grateful for Chris Suster and Scott Marcello for all your hard work as members of the Board of Advisors.
