Florida A&M has assembled a steering committee of its Direct Support Organizations to work in concert on various university projects.

On Thursday evening, April 16, the committee featuring representatives from the FAMU Foundation, National Alumni Association, Rattler Boosters, and University Advancement met for a two-hour discussion on how they can work together to increase alumni giving.

“FAMU has always been its strongest when Rattlers strike together,” FAMU trustee John Crossman told the group. “That is the spirit of the work. We’re building something worthy of the university we all love.”

One of those subjects was how to improve the athletic program’s support.
