HBCU Florida Memorial College now a University!

Posted By: Evangela Chance on March 18, 2005

Today March 18, 2005 Florida Memorial College has changed to Florida Memorial University. We have changed for the better so take note. There is no longer a Florida Memorial College we made history today. We are still an Historical Black College we just changed our name to university. It's still the same Lion's Den.. Now we are roaring more and more louder. I am very proud of my school. LET ME HEAR THEM LION'S ROAR!!!!
