SGA brings eating disorder authority Lori Hanson! Feb. 22nd, 2010 at Miller Hall (University Center C) 7:00pm

Guest Speaker Lori Hanson is a leading authority on eating disorders. She battled with bulimia and her self-image for 34 years. She has expertise on the subject that can only be gained by experience. After watching many victims go in and out of treatment repeatedly, Lori decided there had to be an alternative to traditional treatment. She followed a holistic approach (employing mind, body and spirit) and by learning that we are designed to self-heal, she found the connection to her personal power which led to her healing.

Come enjoy this passionate speaker on February 22, 2010 at 7pm in Miller Hall.

::::::::First 50 guests receive a FREE autographed copy of her book “It Started with Pop-tarts.”::::::::

FSU Announces New Off Campus Housing Website!

FSU Announces New Off-Campus Housing Website

Service Educates Students, Makes It Easier to Find Off-Campus Housing in the FSU Vicinity

TALLAHASSEE, FL — February 1, 2010 — Today the Florida State University Student Government Association (FSU SGA) launched the Florida State University Off-Campus Housing Service (http://offcampushousing.fsu.edu). Each year the university receives requests from students, parents, and faculty/staff for information and assistance finding off-campus housing. This new web-based service provides students with a user-friendly searchable database to find off-campus housing in the FSU area, and provides area owners/managers with a tool to market their properties to the Florida State community directly on the Florida State website. The service will also include educational components designed to help students become good citizens of the Tallahassee Community.

FSU Student Body President Robert Jakubik is pleased to introduce this new program to the FSU community, “SGA is extremely excited to partner with Off Campus Partners, a company with a proven track record of linking university renters/buyers and properties together, as our partner to implement this new program in offering this new service. I believe that the service will help provide equal access for large and small landlords to advertise their properties to the FSU student market. This new service will also provide students and landlords with useful tools and information to assist with their renting experience.” Off Campus Partners (www.offcampuspartners.com) provides software and services to simplify the off-campus housing search process.
Curtis Morgan, OCP Account Executive for the FSU Off-Campus Housing Service, feels that the new service offers a number of benefits to the Florida State Community and area owners/managers: “The user-friendly site will include a fully searchable database that FSU renters and buyers will use to find off-campus housing.” This includes photographs and floor plans, maps with proximity to the FSU Campus, direct links to a property’s email, application/lease, and website, as well as unlimited text descriptions and list of amenities.
FSU Off-Campus Housing Service Availability

The FSU Off-Campus Housing Website is live as of February 1, 2010 and is available to students, parents, and faculty/staff to login and view. Area property owners/managers are encouraged to list their properties on the website soon for the best results. They may contact Curtis Morgan at 704-421-3065 or Curtis@offcampuspartners.com to join.
