Alexis Barnes, Law Enforcement Intelligence undergraduate student

Where are you from? Why did you choose to attend FSU Panama City? 

I’m originally from Birmingham, Alabama but I’ve lived in Northwest Florida for over 10 years now. After earning the full 100% of the Bright Futures Scholarship in high school, I knew that attending a Florida college was my smartest option. But I specifically chose FSU due to the practicality of the degree programs here; I felt that my time would be best spent in classes that benefited my goals which is exactly what I’ve found in my education at FSU.

5th Generation Floridian pursues graduate degree in law enforcement intelligence

Where are you from? Why did you choose to attend FSU?

I’m a fifth-generation Floridian from Fort Myers, Florida. My grandfather was one of the first in my family to go to college and graduated from Florida State, so my family’s always been a big fan of the Seminoles. FSU has some of the best programs, professors, and degree paths in the state, so it was a no brainer for me to choose Florida State. The Army ROTC program and the Law Enforcement Intelligence online master’s degree were particularly interesting to me, and not available at other institutions.

I’m originally from Guntersville, Alabama, a Summertown known for its beautiful lake, fishing, and water sports.
