We’ve finally arrived at spring break! After several weeks of late-night study sessions and panicking over midterms, the work has finally paid off. Whether you’re relaxing at home or off on an adventurous trip, being back on campus is likely the last thing on your mind.
Still, there’s a slew of fun events over the next few weeks you won’t want to miss out on. From celebrating Women’s History Month to enjoying a night of music by local Tallahassee bands, FSU never misses when planning exciting and fresh experiences for all students to enjoy.
- Books in Bloom
-
Yes, you’ve read correctly! The Women’s Student Union (WSU) and Her Campus will host a special event together in honor of Women’s History Month. As part of their March series, WSU will host an open book discussion of the famous novel The Handmaid’s Tale to foster women’s empowerment through a fictional lens. It will be a great opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions regarding the novel’s perspective on women’s rights and allow students to meet new people and share their own experiences.
The event will take place on Tuesday, March 18, in Room 2213 of the Student Union from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. We hope to see you there!

- Preview@FSU: Amelia and Me

Spanning over two days in early April, the second annual “Preview@FSU” will present a sneak peek at a brand-new musical, Amelia and Me. Hosted by the College of Music and the School of Theatre, this production centers around the story of famous pilot Amelia Earhart, building up to her disappearance while taking a risky flight around the globe. With music by Phillip Palmer and lyrics by Stacey Luftig, the show will take you to the unknown heights of Earhart’s life before tragedy and her friendship with Jackie Cochran, who helped pioneer women’s aviation.
The musical will be performed in the Augusta Conradi Studio Theatre, located in the Williams Building, on April 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available online.
