Black history is not just a month. It is legacy. It is resilience. It is excellence in motion.

In this reel, our students and staff share what Black History Month means to them in their own words. Some reflect on culture. Some speak on pride, growth, and opportunity. Every perspective matters.

At SOAHS, we are intentional about creating space for those voices to be heard and honored.

What does Black history mean to you?

This past weekend, our SOAHS Saturday Academy students stepped outside the classroom and into real-world learning at Premier Health & Fitness 💪🏾

Students toured the facility, spoke with personal trainers about how their work connects to health science, tested out exercise equipment, and even jumped into a workout class. Experiences like this help students see how classroom concepts translate into real careers.

Programs like the Saturday Academy give students early exposure to allied health, nursing, and other health professions while building confidence, curiosity, and career awareness.

Senior Health Informatics and Information Management students and faculty from Florida A&M University played an integral role in the success of the 2026 FHIMA Hill Day.

Experiences like FHIMA Hill Day go beyond the classroom. They allow our future leaders to see firsthand how legislation, leadership, and health systems intersect.
We are proud of our seniors for showing up prepared, informed, and ready to contribute to important discussions shaping the industry.

Opportunities like this are part of what makes the Health Informatics and Information Management experience at FAMU unique.

Sometimes success is not about doing more. It is about doing things differently.
At the Spring 2026 Student Forum, the Dean challenged students to think beyond effort and lean into intention. This semester, we are choosing to reallocate. Reallocate time, energy, and approach. Reallocate pride in favor of strategy, support, and growth.
Wisdom is knowing you do not have to do it alone.
Take the Dean’s challenge this semester. Reallocate. Use a resource. Ask a question. Move with intention.
