Florida State University's Office of Governmental Relations serves as the vital link between the university and various levels of government, with a particular focus on monitoring the Florida legislative process, which provides the majority of the university's funding. The office is dedicated to keeping the university community informed about key legislative issues and their impact, while also offering valuable internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to gain firsthand experience in Florida's legislative process.
FSU also hosts annual events like the Seminole Evening Reception and FSU Day at the Capitol, where faculty, staff, and volunteers come together to showcase the university's achievements and engage with the legislative community. The Office of Governmental Relations acts as the official liaison between FSU and local, state, and national governments, ensuring that faculty and staff are properly prepared when called upon to attend committee meetings or provide formal responses to legislative inquiries.
