The FOF Summit seeks to foster an enriching environment with a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and individuals. Students from all Florida universities and colleges are encouraged to apply. Lodging is provided for non-Alachua County residents.
As the largest student-run policy summit in Florida, FOF invites participants from all majors and years from across Florida to gain leadership experience and network with state leaders.
All participants are responsible for transportation to and from the FOF Summit. Meals are provided during the weekend of the FOF Summit. Lodging is provided for non-Alachua County residents. If you have any questions or concerns about accommodations, reach out to us at FOF-GrahamCenter@ufl.edu.
Participants will attend a virtual policy workshop relating to the yearly FOF topic the weekend before the FOF Summit. During the FOF Summit, students will discuss and participate in meaningful conversation with fellow participants and field experts during breakout sessions, keynote speakers, and collaborative groups. Participants will then work in teams to develop and present an innovative policy solution.
Topics change annually and cover a range of critical topics addressed by the Florida Legislature. The 2024 FOF Summit will focus on Artificial Intelligence in four critical areas: AI in education, healthcare, agriculture, and law.
Applications open mid-November and close January 13, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Applicants will be notified of their participant status by late January.
Speakers and discussion topics will be released closer to the date of the FOF Summit. Follow and stay updated with FOF via our social media pages to get the latest updates.
The FOF Summit is hosted by the Bob Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida. The Center was established in 2006 by former U.S. Senator and Florida Governor Bob Graham to create a community of students, scholars, and citizens who share a commitment to revitalizing the civic culture of Florida and nation.
