9. Changes in the FCS…Haven’t Changed Our Mission!

10. A Strong Commitment: One System; One Mission The Florida College System was strategically designed and established to provide broad access to high quality, affordable postsecondary education in the state. The Colleges within the System provide a comprehensive array of educational opportunities that has evolved since its inception in 1957 in response to changing social and economic needs of local communities and the state. The recent authorization to award select baccalaureate degrees enhances, but does not substantially change, the historic mission of The Florida College System: open-access, outreach, responsiveness, quality, affordability and economic development.

For the past four years Playing For Change has traveled the world with a mobile recording studio and cameras in search of such inspiration. Throughout the journey we created a family of over 100 musicians from all walks of life. We connect these musicians together with "Songs Around The World." The Playing For Change Band is the next chapter in our story. Now people everywhere can witness first hand the transformational power of music and love that comes from the Playing For Change Band. The Playing For Change band lineup includes percussionist Mohammed Alidu (Northern Ghana), vocalist Clarence Bekker (Netherlands/Suriname), vocals/harmonica Grandpa Elliott (New Orleans), vocals/percussionist Mermans Kenkosenki (DRC Congo), guitarist Jason Tamba (Kinshasa, the capital of DRC Congo) and vocalist Titi Tsira (Gugulethu, African township in the Western Cape).
