Flagler College found a brand of refrigerators that was proficient for the school’s electrical needs in the Fall of 2005.

By Nicole Goyette Flagler College recently hired Jeff Adams as the new Interim Director of Career Services. “I’m really delighted to work with students again,” Adams said.
Late yesterday afternoon, we learned of the tragic death of Thomas Graber III, who was a student at Flagler College. According to information available, Thomas was the victim of a violent crime at an off-campus location. We have learned from local law enforcement that two men, considered to be drifters, have been apprehended and charged with the crime. Grief counselors are available in the Counseling Center to meet with students and other members of the College community who may need support. At this time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Graber family.
William T. Abare Jr.
President, Flagler College
