Wishing you a Happy Hatter Spring Break!
Wishing you a Happy Hatter Spring Break!

And, Happy Birthday to Stetson Today! One year ago, on Leap Day, Feb. 29, 2012, Stetson University Marketing launched this new online communications and news website, unifying a variety of previous information sources and compiling them into one source of information. Today, in just one year’s time, it is the most widely visited website for the university, according to our analytical data. At the Feb. 19 CASE Awards Program, Stetson Today received an Award of Excellence from the Southeast District of CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education) for a university’s Online Digital Innovation information source. We tip our Stetson hats in appreciation to you, our readers, for your loyalty and contributions to Stetson Today!
