NEW…Incorporating the Undergraduate Academic Enrichment Program (UAEP) Into Honors Program |
For the past 13 years, Dr. Borg created several successful programs that will now fall under the auspices of the Honors Program. However, in keeping with the intention to integrate the Honors Program into the fabric of the university, these programs will be open to all students, not just Honors students. These programs include: Preparing Students for Nationally Competitive Scholarships, the Collaborative Undergraduate Scholarship Program, The University Scholars Honor Society, the Other Club Dinner Debating Society, Face to Face (Jacksonville celebrity interviews), Career Connections, the Public Policy Internship Initiative, and Intellectual Life Grants for faculty.
