Mission Statement

To provide a medium of interaction between Caribbean students throughout the state of Florida, and to act as a representing body of Caribbean students on issues such as education, tuition, cultural and political awareness.

Founding

Preliminary work on FCSA began in the summer of 1990 by Marlon Hill and his administration at Florida State University.  One year later in Fall 1991 the dream became a reality.  Dwight Powell, then president of the Caribbean Students Association at FSU and his administration found success when seven institutions accepted FSU's invitation to come to FSU to help form the association.

The first formal organizational session of FCSA was held on October 18-19, 1992.  In attendance were representatives from FAMU, FAU, FIU, FSU, UCF, UF, USF, and Tallahassee Community College.

Development

The Florida Caribbean Students' Association (FCSA Inc.) was established in 1991. It was created with goals of providing a medium of interaction between Caribbean students throughout the state of Florida, and to act as a representing body of Caribbean students on issues such as education, tuition, and cultural and political awareness. Also, they act as a lobbying force on issues of minority interest, including minority empowerment and to facilitate links between other Caribbean organizations throughout the United States of America. FCSA has become the mother organization to over 40 organizations at colleges and universities across the state of Florida. FCSA Inc. convenes for statewide conferences during the fall and spring semesters. Since its inception FCSA Inc. has successfully hosted thirty-four (34) conferences, serviced more than 20,000 students, and amassed numerous successful alumni. These conferences have provided students with the opportunity for one-on-one networking with fellow students and experts in a variety of fields.
