Teamwork and camaraderie are keys to success in any organization and I have found that to be especially true of the FSU Panama City staff and faculty.
Sophia Crittenden, LCSW

Being a part of FSU Panama City feels like you are a part of something greater than yourself with people that understand the extra stressors of military life.
Suzanne Remedies, ASCENT, Master Sgt. US Air Force (Ret)

Having been stationed all over the world, I can say this has been one of the most welcoming communities we have ever lived, and one of the main reasons we chose to settle down in Bay County upon retirement.
Irvin Clark, United States Navy veteran, Associate Dean

The United States Navy provided me my pathway to college and an amazing 31-year career in higher education, as well as my ability to build strong relationships with the active duty military and veteran communities in the Northwest Florida and at FSU Panama City communities.
Scott Stewart, US Navy Veteran, DNAP, APRN, CRNA, College of Applied Studies

Community support for veterans and family members is something that occurs in the Panama City area each day, and not just on Veterans Day.
