Launch UF Logo

LaunchUF is a 3-day program designed to help first-time in college students transition to life at the University of Florida. The program is intentionally designed to provide students with the opportunity to connect with other Gators, learn about campus resources, and find and build community before classes start. 

Participants are paired in small groups and participate in a variety of activities, including icebreakers, campus tours, and workshops on topics such as time management and study skills.  

 Event is free and meals are included. If interested, please contact Office for Community and Belonging at sai@ufsa.ufl.edu.
