Advocacy for federal investments in research and student financial assistance programs is an important activity that is regularly undertaken by administrators, faculty and students. Members of the FSU community are urged to coordinate federal advocacy activities with the Office of Federal Relations so that our institution’s communications with elected and appointed officials are consistent and impactful. Further, the Lobbying Disclosure Act requires that FSU submit quarterly reports of any oral, written, or electronic communication completed in a professional context by an employee to a covered federal official (e.g. Member of Congress, congressional staff person, staff within the Executive Office of the President, political appointee). For assistance, please contact Jonathan Nurse, FSU Director of Federal Relations, at jnurse@fsu.edu or (202) 220-1317.
