Our take on Innovation Academy

In case you missed it, we published a five-part series this week exploring UF’s Innovation Academy, a program currently in its third year. Basically, students enrolled in the program go to school for the Spring and Summer semesters, as opposed to the traditional Fall and Spring. After hearing from several students who had both positive and negative things to say, we decided to look into five ways IA students are affected by the program: campus involvement, academics, pre-professional opportunities, finances and getting in and getting out.

Earlier this week, pundits analyzed, criticized and dissected Hillary Clinton’s and Marco Rubio’s campaign logos because political pundits are now experts in graphic design. What the American people can’t afford is yet another presidential election bogged down in debates over the minutiae and plagued by typical mudslinging.
