Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement Founded at FSU in 1968 as Horizons Unlimited, the Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement has provided support to first-generation college students.

The Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement was created at the Florida State University in January 2000, in effect combining two long-established institutional academic support programs. These programs were the Horizons Unlimited Program, and the Summer Enrichment Program. Both of these programs were designed to provide equality and access for disadvantaged students.

From bowling strikes and games of pool to karaoke, great food, and moments filled with laughs, students took a well deserved break to connect, unwind, and build community before Summer B began.

College is not only about the classroom but find your people, creating memories, and making FSU feel like home❤️💛

Last week, our Summer Bridge 2026 students joined our partners at Truist for an interactive financial literacy workshop at the Civic Center. From budgeting and credit to saving, investing, and making informed financial decisions, our first-generation students gained practical tools to help them succeed both in college and beyond.

At CARE, we’re committed to preparing students for more than the classroom—we’re equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to build a strong financial future.

A special thank you to Truist for investing in the success of our students and helping them take the next step toward lifelong financial wellness. 💛❤️
