Evett L. Simmons Center for Multicultural Appreciation
2013
The Evett L. Simmons Center for Multicultural Appreciation provides support services, educational opportunities, and cultural awareness programs for Florida Southern students as well as to promote multiculturalism, social justice, and inclusion for the College community. The center was named in honor of alumna and Trustee Evett L. Simmons (Class of 1979). In 2021, Brenda's Place was dedicated inside the building to Brenda Lewis, the Director of the Simmons Center and who had been part of the Florida Southern community for over 26 years until her retirement. Lewis was instrumental in forming both the Multicultural Student Council and the Simmons Center.
