The College of Social Sciences and Public Policy is raising money for our Get More Than A Degree Initiative, which enhances our student's educational experience and future career advancement by providing them with opportunities beyond the classroom and coursework. Through the Get More Than A Degree Initiative, our Alumni and Friends of the College support programs, activities, and organizations that cannot be supported through the State of Florida's funding, such as but not limited to special lectures by industry experts, conferences and symposia, student groups like the College's Student Leadership Council and the World Affairs Program, research and experiential learning opportunities, and the College's prestigious Social Science Scholars program, as well as many more opportunities.
