My community is the AICHE community here at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. In this segment I introduce what the organization is, and how having a previous relationship with one of the club officers is a benefit.

My community is the nursing program here at FSU. I visited the nursing LLC here and got more information on the requirements and just how hard it is to get into the program here.
