FSU’s film school earns Top 20 national ranking
https://news.fsu.edu/news/2018/08/23/fsus-film-school-earns-top-20-national-ranking/
The Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts is one of the best film schools in the nation, checking in at No. 19 on The Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of Top 25 Film Schools.
This month, the entertainment industry magazine ranked the best film schools using such criteria as the quality of faculty and facilities, reputation in the film industry and achievements of graduates.
“Measures of success like industry placement, award-winning student films and alumni accomplishments consistently demonstrate the excellence of our programs,” said Reb Braddock, dean of the College of Motion Picture Arts. “It’s always rewarding to be recognized by outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and Variety for what we already know: Our faculty, students and alumni are outstanding.”
The Hollywood Reporter noted the achievements of Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, a 2003 alumnus of FSU’s College of Motion Picture Arts, as well as his close film school friends who have worked with him over the past 15 years.
Jenkins has teamed up on film projects with FSU alumni, including producer Adele Romanski (’04), cinematographer James Laxton (’03), and editors Joi McMillon (’03) and Nat Sanders (’02). All of them worked together on “Moonlight,” which earned the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017.
The magazine also highlighted the work of FSU graduates Lauren Miller Rogen, a successful director and actress, and Stephen Broussard of Marvel Studios. All are examples of how a degree from FSU’s film school is gaining traction, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film school is moving ahead with new momentum not only because of the success of its graduates. University administrators have worked hard to create a program that uniquely prepares students for film careers.
The numbers tell the story: 97 percent of graduates find work in the movie industry within one year. One-hundred percent of students’ productions receive funding from the school, making it the only film school in the country that pays some or all expenses of every film project. The student-faculty ratio is 5:1, translating into more individualized teaching, and students have 24/7 access to professional-grade equipment, studios and post-production facilities.
In addition, the college features an archive containing more than 5,000 movies, including 35-millimeter and 16-millimeter films.
The FSU College of Motion Picture Arts is built to be a hands-on program, and students love that approach to learning.
“You really get the sense that the school is preparing you in every aspect for the industry,” said Zoe DeLeon, who earned a master’s of fine arts in screenwriting and playwriting in 2018.
The College of Motion Picture Arts, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year, is a limited-access program. It requires applicants to submit a resume, letters of recommendation, a creative portfolio and an essay explaining why they want to pursue film careers.
About 25 faculty members with expertise in such areas as producing, writing, directing, cinematography, visual effects and editing, lead the school in a culture of creation that focuses on the craft of storytelling. The award-winning faculty helps transform undergraduate and graduate students into career-ready filmmakers.
In 2017, Jenkins praised FSU’s film school for giving him the flexibility and resources to develop his creativity. He and other film students were given camera gear and the freedom to make films in imaginative and unconventional ways.
“That approach to storytelling was instilled in me from the very beginning at FSU,” Jenkins said. “They didn’t try to put us in a box. They gave us the freedom to create whatever box we thought was most appropriate for our voice.”
FSU opens new living-learning community for aspiring entrepreneurs

https://news.fsu.edu/news/university-news/2018/08/24/fsu-opens-new-living-learning-community-for-aspiring-entrepreneurs/
Fostering an entrepreneurial spirit across campus is one of Florida State University’s top strategic goals. This fall, the university has taken its commitment to innovation one step further by offering a home for budding entrepreneurs with the opening of a new living-learning community.
The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Learning Community (EILC) is designed to immerse first-year students in entrepreneurship and innovation at FSU and expose them to the world of resources around campus and in Tallahassee.
The idea to start the new community originated with the faculty and staff of FSU’s Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship, which admits a limited number of juniors each year.
“We are thrilled to be able to have a pipeline,” said Susan Fiorito, director of the Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get students who are freshmen to think about their passion and to talk to other entrepreneurs about the variety of options that are available to them.”
FSU’s living-learning communities are a partnership between university housing and undergraduate studies. They provide environments for first-time-in-college students who are interested in a particular subject area to live together and take a deeper dive into the discipline.
The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Learning Community, located in Deviney Hall, is FSU’s eighth living-learning community. The program received 127 applications for 36 openings. Students submitted essays along with other application materials to be considered.
“We have a really impressive group,” said Wendy Plant, faculty director for the EILC. “A lot of the students started businesses when they were young. Mr. Moran was selling soda pop out of a wagon when he was 7 years old. I could tell some of them have that same sort of entrepreneurial spirit.”
Jack Bly is a freshmanfrom Orlando. Before coming to Florida State, he started his own pressure washing business.
“Entrepreneurship is something I’ve been passionate about my whole life,” Bly said. “Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to produce and make money by myself.”
Bly said he was looking forward to learning new ways to help him progress as an entrepreneur and making worthwhile connections.
Jacksonville freshman Beatrice Davis also said she was excited to meet new people and establish valuable relationships. Davis, an accounting major, plans to run her own firm someday.
“Being a part of this community will expand my horizons,” she said. “I look forward to all the opportunities FSU is opening for us. I’m also looking forward to building my leadership skills. I know it will expose me to some creative ideas that I can definitely use.”
Plant will coordinate a colloquium for EILC residents and introduce them to the many resources at FSU, such as the Career Center and the university’s new Innovation Hub.
During the fall semester, the cohort also will take a leadership course taught by faculty from the Center for Leadership and Social Change. The one-credit colloquium and the three-credit leadership course will satisfy graduation requirements even if a student chooses not to pursue a spot in the Jim Moran School.
“We had to come up with a plan that would complement and enhance the student’s experience, but not add additional credit hours,” Plant said.
London Judge will serve as the graduate assistant for the EILC. She will help with colloquiums and hold office hours in the residence hall, where she can mentor and advise the students. She said while the resources FSU provides are essential, she hopes the students in the learning community will become resources for each other.
“I think it’s imperative for students to be put out of their comfort zones and pushed to pursue their own ideas,” Judge said. “We are hoping that this group also will push one another and form partnerships of their own. I think it’s something really special that we’re creating.”

Incoming Freshman/New year
https://www.fsunews.com/story/news/2018/08/26/fsus-new-academic-year-looking-most-successful-yet/1100222002/
With 42,000 students hitting campus for the fall semester, and 6,400 of those students being freshmen, Florida State University has amped its methods of improving the quality of collegiate life.
While these methods range from increases in faculty to projects from independent campus organizations, they all have the common objective to advance the education and characteristics of FSU.
Certain online programs are required for all incoming students to ensure they receive proper health education. Semesterly updates make certain these lessons cover everything from establishing study habits to properly managing alcohol.
The newly mandatory Student Resilience Project was developed in the FSU College of Social Work and launched this fall to provide students with coping skills for stress and trauma.
The FSU Police Department released “Run. Hide. Fight.” to detail the response and prevention of an active shooter on campus.
Aside from health and safety developments, FSU has also raised its education standings with the hiring of 240 new faculty members.
By providing further opportunities for research and mentorship positions, the faculty add to FSU’s ranking as one of Carnegie Classifications’ Doctoral University of Highest Research Activity.
Three of the hires are specific to the Honors Program at FSU, and will focus on developing a core curriculum that emphasizes specialized courses and small class sizes in order to raise the status and intensity of the program.
Engage 100 is another academic focal point beginning on campus, with a purpose to ensure 100 percent of students are exposed to intense educational opportunities like Living Learning Communities (LLC) or undergraduate research.
Housed in Deviney Hall, the Entrepreneurship and Innovation LLC is launching for the first time this semester with 36 freshmen in its inaugural class. The students will live and take classes together as they explore the world of business.
Renovations at Suwannee Room have finished in time for the fall semester, but construction on the new Oglesby Union continues with a projected finishing date of fall 2020.
In the meantime, FSU is still continuing traditions like Seminole Sensation Week and Homecoming with alternative locations and events. The ever-popular Club Downunder already has several shows for the upcoming semester planned for venues like The Wilbury and Gaines Street Pies.
Facts on the freshmen:
51,098 applications were submitted for the summer and fall 2018 semesters. This record is a 17 percent increase from last year's applicati
on record, and contributes to the growing competition to receive an acceptance letter from FSU.
61.4 percent of incoming students are female. FSU typically maintains a heavily female demographic since its 40-year period as the Florida State College for Women.
43 different states, 21 different countries and Puerto Rico are represented by the fall class. Most in-state students originate from the Miami area, and roughly 6 percent of all students at FSU are of international origin.
4.2 is the average high school GPA for the class of 2022. Their composite SAT scores average to 1340, and the ACT average is 29.
FSU had 51,098 applicants seeking admission to its summer and fall semesters, a 17 percent increase from last year. Women make up 61.4 percent of the new freshman class.
And the top five majors?
Biological science, business, engineering, psychology and pre-health professions, FSU said.
Also this fall, 240 new faculty members are coming on board, including 125 new positions FSU created with preeminence money from the Legislature.
“We’re thrilled to welcome an exceptional freshman class and a new group of top-notch faculty members as we start another academic year,” FSU President John Thrasher said. “Florida State University is on the rise, and I know these students and faculty will help keep the momentum going.”
FSU has 20 residence halls on campus with 6,700 beds.
“We’re full,” said Shannon Staten, executive director for university housing. “We have been able to take care of anyone who has contracted with us.”
