Evan manages @fsustudentaffairs social media accounts, takes photographs for the Division and manages our digital asset management tool, Brandfolder, edits video and produces a podcast, as well as manages student workers.

In the words of his nominator: “Evan worked tirelessly and remained on call to handle social media, document, photograph and volunteer at events during the aftermath of the tragic shooting at the Union. Even while working well outside his normal hours, he remained committed to serving students and doing everything he could to make this delicate time more bearable for all of us, both in this office and in the Division. His selfless actions, his photographs and video documentation are a testament to his compassion and kindness during a difficult time."

Florida State University’s Division of Student Affairs recognizes the advocacy, support and encouragement you offer students and staff in the Division, and celebrates you, Evan! Thank you for all you do!
