Honors College Ambassadors, Special Olympics, Intramural Basketball and Volleyball and the Film Club. He also serves as the Treasurer of Student Government and the Treasurer

Kadeem, concentrating in economics and minoring in mathematics, decided to come to the Honors College because “The faculty and staff are all approachable and are
deeply invested in the success of all of the students. The small class sizes also create an environment where everyone is encouraged to and, in some cases, required to
participate. The learning experience is unlike any other.” Kadeem plans to attend law school after the Honors College.

Richard Smith
Richard came to the Honors College in the fall of 2008 from Port Saint Lucie High School (Port Saint Lucie, FL). He majors in biological chemistry with a minor in history.
He enjoys listening to a wide variety of music, and playing ping pong. Richard has also been active in several campus organizations including Student Government, Environmental Club,
and Jupiter PrOWLers (campus cheer/spirit club). He also works as an intern at Max Planck Institute in the Department of Digital Neuro-Imaging.
Richard chose the Honors College primarily because of its small class sizes and its opportunities for science and medical research. “I didn’t want to get lost in a lecture hall
of a large university, or be regarded as just a number or another face in the crowd by a professor. So far, I haven’t regretted my decision of choosing the Honors College,
and I have made the most of the available research opportunities by participating in internships at both
Scripps Florida and the Max Planck Florida Institute.”
