About us

For the past 25 years, the FSU chapter of Florida Future Educators of America has been working on and off campus representing the philosophy and the ideals FFEA's members commit to.

In 1996, FFEA was recognized as the Student Organization of the Year, and it was also nominated for Volunteer Organization of the Year for Leon County.

Likewise, two officers were equally recognized for their services. Kema Gadson, FFEA's president, received the SRATE Professional Development Pre-Baccalaureate Award from the Sourtheastern Association of Teacher Educators. FFEA's Vice President, Lani Collier, was nominee for Volunteer of the Year for Leon County.

As members and officers come and go, the FSU chapter of FFEA continues to contribute to the whole formation of education majors by organizing service activities that allow students to reach out and make a mark in the community.

In the past years our members have contributed time and dedication to different literacy projects in the Tallahasse area, tutoring children and young adults in reading skills.

Also, the group has participated in school activities organized by PTAs such as carnivals and Halloween celebrations, as well as seasonal activities like the Winter Festival and the Parade of Lights.

The different housing projects administered by Habitat for Humanity have also received FFEA members who have volunteered to help build houses for deserving families.

Together with these activities, members also have the opportunity to participate in panels and forums of professionals, where they can get first hand insight into areas of interest for those who will be part of the educational system.

The FSU chapter of Florida Future Educators of America, welcoming all new students in the College of Education, and wishing a bright future to those who graduate and leave college, is committed to the important role of offering an environment in which prospective teachers and education administrators can grow both personally and academically, an environment where tolerance, respect and responsibility are valued principles that will guide our future educators.
