Together, the Eckerd community invested more than $13 million over the past academic year to sustain the distinctive programs that define an Eckerd education—including scholarships, global education experiences, hands-on research and internship opportunities, athletic pursuits, maritime rescue and lifelong learning. Experiences like these don't exist without the support of our community. From all of us, thank you for believing in our students and in what's possible when we come together. Here's to another year of changing lives. 🌊🐚🫧
History of the fiddler crab
Regarded as the first inhabitant of Florida Presbyterian/Eckerd College’s campus, the fiddler crab is a symbol of strong foundations and new beginnings.
The Founding Class of 1964 was the first to receive a fiddler crab pin to mark them as members of a select and history-making community: The Golden Tritons. The fiddler crab aspect of our logo represents the strong foundation you built during your time at Eckerd and marks you as a lifelong member of the Eckerd College community. Every glimpse of a fiddler crab is a reminder of the people and place that prepared you to be a global citizen with the ability to impact your community and the world.
