Vivian Allen is a resident at the Mulligan Park Retirement Community.

Friday, the FSU English Department surprised Allen with a certificate and a ceremony making her an honorary member of the faculty. She says FSU runs through her family history.
"I have two granddaughters who graduated from Florida State," said Allen. "I have a son from California who got his masters from Florida State, so everything is fine, it's just the way it should be."
At the bottom of the certificate it reads "Congratulations, Professor Allen."
