A Word from the Flagler College Parent Leadership Council Chair
Dear Parents –
I care deeply about a lot of things at Flagler. Number one being my status as a proud Flagler Parent of a junior studying Coastal Environmental Science. Another is visiting beautiful Saint Augustine for good food, warm weather and entertainment with my family. So naturally, we were really looking forward to our time together at Saints Weekend because it’s one of my favorite times to visit campus along with my fellow Parents Leadership Council members.
There’s nothing quite like the fun and electric atmosphere of this Flagler tradition. However, the health and safety of our students on campus comes first, so Saints Weekend will be a virtual experience this year. I encourage you to join us for the series of fun and engaging events while building some new memories with your family online!
If you’re interested in becoming an active part of Flagler College year-round, we love welcoming new members to the council. Please connect with our council staff liaison, Sierra Aitken to learn more about our group and the work we do to enhance the student experience at Flagler for all Saints.
Sincerely,
Bill Picard
Flagler College Parent Leadership Council Chair

Virtual Boat of St. Augustine Flagler College is situated footsteps from the Matanzas River Estuary, a body of water that provides recreational and commercial benefits. It is easy to take for granted what we see every day, and forget how lucky we are to be surrounded by such a biodiverse environment. Please join Dr. Ed McGinley, Associate Professor of Natural Sciences, as he offers a small glimpse into the natural world in St. Augustine. Attendees will get an opportunity to virtually join Dr. McGinley and his students as they document the animal life that calls the estuary home. The tour will consist of a pre-recorded video with time for a Q&A afterwards. |
