Hello, fellow residents of Hinely Hall!

I am so excited to welcome you to Florida College

for the 2018–19 school year. It should be one of

the most challenging and rewarding times of

your life. I was a student at Florida College a few

years ago (okay, quite a few years ago!), and I still

remember my time in the dorm as one of the best

memories I have of my college years.

As in most any home, the family is made up of

more than just yourself. Hinely Hall will house

approximately 150 girls in close proximity with

the girls of Jennifer and College Halls. We are

all one family working together to have the best

environment possible for learning, living and fun.

Improvements to Hinely Hall have been made to

make your home as comfortable as possible.

The residence halls will open this year for

occupancy on Saturday, Aug. 18, and we will be

ready and waiting to check you in. We will be

offering refrigerator rentals for those who are

unable to bring their own. There are three sizes,

available to rent for $50, $60 or $70 a year.

Since we have limited quantities, you may

contact me at my email address and reserve

one ahead of time if you would like.

Please take a moment to review the Florida

College handbook and the rules that govern all of

us. It will be one of my responsibilities to enforce

those rules, and it will be your responsibility

to understand them and comply. We are all

striving to be godly women and a section that I would strongly advise you to become familiar with is the dress code. Make your clothing choices wisely and please bring appropriate attire for all occasions. You will need appropriate attire for the hot, humid August weather, but January and February can be quite cold, so you will need clothing that covers a wide range of temperatures. A reliable umbrella is also a necessity for those numerous afternoon showers.

I am including an attachment of some items that we provide for use and others that I have found that you will need. Please feel free to contact me by email or by leaving a message with the college if you should have any further questions.

All of us here at the college try to work together to provide the best educational experience that you can have anywhere. Make sure that you are checking your email account with the school for updates, and look at the website to familiarize yourself with the school.

Enjoy your summer and get ready for an exciting fall. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know you personally. I want you to feel free to talk with me about your concerns, your successes, your hopes and dreams. My door is open to you.

See you soon,

Becky Cawthon
