Honors News: February 25, 2025
Welcome back, everyone! This last weekend, SF welcomed more than 1000 students and their families to campus so that we could show them how we can support them on their way to their academic and career goals. I was so excited to see numerous members of the Honors Program—students and faculty—sharing about their experiences, helping people find their way around campus, and representing many of our academic programs, including the Honors Program! This week, I’m excited for a number of new opportunities, including a rescheduled Gator Day and the first steps toward recognizing our Spring 2025 graduates.
