Three Pillars of our Program
Opportunity
Summer enrichment experiences offer scholars the tools they need to achieve their goals. Study abroad and leadership training programs develop intercultural skills, individual leadership styles, and adaptability. A close network of faculty from across campus mentors scholars throughout their undergraduate career and beyond.
Community
The tight-knit community of scholars is diverse, possessing a variety of academic, career, and extracurricular interests. They share a commitment to intellectual curiosity and a desire to understand global issues. Scholars build strong relationships through four shared summer enrichment experiences, confronting challenges together.
Challenge
As members of UF’s Honors Program, all scholars are expected to graduate cum laude and strive to participate in research or internship experiences as undergraduates. Summer enrichment travel challenges scholars mentally and physically, building resilience and fostering collaboration. The three study abroad programs are intentionally designed to be multi-disciplinary, allowing scholars to explore new fields of study and build competence outside of their declared majors.
