LAKELAND, Fla. (Aug. 9, 2005) — Florida Southern College will hold a reception and unveiling of the new Rogers Seminar Room on Aug. 19 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. in the Jim Rogers Auditorium on the FSC campus. College president Dr. Anne B. Kerr will welcome MBA candidates, prospective students, alumni, invited guests, and the media. 

The event celebrates the Florida Southern MBA program’s 25 years of service to the business community.  The new seminar room was designed specifically for MBA students with a grant from The Rogers Foundation.  FSC will honor the Rogers family for their support of the college’s business and economics department.
