Seminole State celebrates 25 years of Robert and Jane Lee Campus at Oviedo

Seminole State College of Florida proudly celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Robert and Jane Lee Campus at Oviedo, marking a quarter century of growth, innovation and student success in eastern Seminole County.

Since opening its doors in 2001, the Oviedo campus has embodied a distinctive blend of Old Florida natural beauty and forward-looking academic opportunity. The campus was renamed the Robert and Jane Lee Campus at Oviedo in 2018 to honor fourth-generation Oviedoans who contributed significantly to the College through the Foundation for Seminole State College. The Lee family's legacy of generosity established a scholarship that provides full tuition for two years to students from the Oviedo area.  

Nestled among preserved wetlands, native trees and peaceful walking paths, the Lee Campus at Oviedo quickly became known for its tranquil setting — a place where students can focus, collaborate and prepare for their futures while enjoying the natural landscape that defines Central Florida.

Over the past 25 years, the Lee Campus at Oviedo has evolved into an important educational hub for eastern Seminole County, expanding programs, facilities and partnerships to meet the needs of a growing community. What began as a campus designed to increase access to higher education has grown into a vibrant center for innovation, workforce preparation and academic achievement.

Today, the Lee Campus at Oviedo offers a wide range of programs that support both transfer pathways and career-ready degrees, helping students pursue everything from bachelor’s degrees to specialized workforce certifications. Located just a few miles from the University of Central Florida, it is an ideal choice for students in the College's DirectConnect to UCF® Program.

“The Lee Campus at Oviedo represents the enduring value of accessible, high-quality education and its ability to strengthen individuals, families and our entire community. By expanding access and aligning programs with real-world needs, we continue to create meaningful pathways for students to build their futures and contribute to the region’s long-term vitality,” said Dr. Georgia Lorenz, president of Seminole State College.
