Spivey Society
Honoring a Legacy of Transformational Leadership
Established in 2002 to honor Dr. Spivey, the Spivey Society is a recognition society for donors who make annual leadership gifts to the College.
Florida Southern’s legendary president from 1925 to 1957, Dr. Ludd M. Spivey revolutionized a struggling school into the modern educational institution that today is ÂÒÂ×ȺP.

Dr. Spivey continued to strengthen the College’s fiscal foundation while defining its progressive educational mission and goals, solidifying the College’s relationship with the United Methodist Church and
