HISTORY:

Since 1973, Garnet & Gold Key has honored one faculty or staff member with the Ross Oglesby Award at the annual FSU Homecoming Breakfast. There are many outstanding faculty and staff members at the Florida State University who devote their time, energy and talents to others. Many times these men and women go unrecognized despite all that they contribute to our campus. To qualify for this award an individual must exemplify an excellence in teaching and scholarship, dedication to Florida State University, a commitment to students and service to FSU for more than ten years. Please download the Ross Oglesby Award Application if you are interested in nominating an FSU faculty or staff members for this honor.
