Cassandra Colby of Culver City graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Flagler College. Colby was one of approximately 354 Flagler seniors at the spring commencement ceremony hosted on May 3 at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine, Florida.
Flagler College is an independent, four-year, comprehensive baccalaureate college that offers 29 majors, 34 minors and two pre-professional programs, the largest majors being business, education and communication. Small by intent, Flagler College has an enrollment of about 2,500 students, as well as a satellite campus at Tallahassee Community College in Tallahassee, Florida.
A Flagler education is less than half the cost of similar private colleges, and competitive with many state universities. A relatively young institution, founded in 1968, Flagler College is also noted for its historic beauty. The centerpiece of the campus is the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, a grand resort built in 1888 by Henry M. Flagler, industrialist, railroad pioneer and co-founder of Standard Oil.
The Ponce has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. For more on Flagler College, visit www.flagler.edu.
