This summer the Congress of Graduate Students (COGS) donated three umbrellas for use on the terrace outside of The Globe to enhance outdoor seating options for those attending the Center for Global Engagement’s intercultural events.

COGS is the official representative body of graduate students at FSU and includes all post-baccalaureate, special, masters, specialist, professional, and doctoral students.

Florida State University’s Center for Global Engagement welcomed 568 new international students (188 undergraduates and 380 graduates) to campus this fall from 83 countries and areas, making this the largest number of new incoming international students to arrive to FSU.
