A state-wide college tour. That sounds like a dream opportunity for any high school student exploring college options. Twelve students from the Museum’s Upward Bound program recently went on such a trip with Museum staff, and visited five universities all throughout Florida: University of West Florida, Florida State University, University of North Florida, University of Florida, and University of Central Florida. Did we mention this was all in less than a week? On this whirlwind tour, students toured the campus grounds, departments, and housing, and also had a few other unique experiences. At the Florida State University School of Law, they met the Dean and the admissions team, and also witnessed a simulation of closing arguments from the University’s Mock Trial Team. Another highlight of the trip was that students were able to meet up with former Upward Bound students who are now attending Florida State University, the University of Florida, and the University of Central Florida. Now all that’s left is some big decision-making.
