FALL 2024 SEMESTER LAUNCHES TOMORROW
|
As a new academic year begins, everyone at the Burnett Honors College is thrilled to welcome our Scholars to their home away from home at UCF. Dean Marty and I are so excited to kick off the fall semester.
We are equally excited to connect with YOU through this e-newsletter! We understand that your inbox can fill up quickly, so we promise to limit these newsletters to just four issues a year. Our community of Scholars, past and present, is truly remarkable, and we are eager to share their achievements as well as our ongoing initiatives. We hope you feel inspired by the news we share.
For more frequent updates, I encourage you to engage with us on social media; links are included at the bottom of this newsletter. If you have any ideas or successes of your own to share, or simply want to catch up, my door is always open.✨
