Along this line, the University endeavors to assist students in summer and intersession through work-study programs for learning while earning in on-the-job activities.
For former students, there are services available through the Alumni Association, the FHSU Foundation, the Half-Century Club, and several professional renewal and continuing education programs, some of which are extended beyond the campus.
