ANGLE: It's just unbelievable to me
that the quality of students
that IFAS has has. The quality
of the faculty and teachers
are unbelievable as well.
One thing I want to make sure,
and this is really important
to me, is that every single
student has access
to significant out-of-the-
classroom experience.
Right now I'm calling it
the Vice President's Promise.
that I'll be my personal
promise to every student
that they will have access
to something very
special beyond a classroom.
That may be working
alongside a world class
scientist or a world class
educator out in one
of the counties through
Extension or going
to Washington D.C.
and working
with a congressperson
or a senator or working
in a large business
in the state to really get
the experience that will
show them the opportunities
that exist in this industry
maybe open up doors
that they may not
have even known existed.
I would like to make sure
that every student has access
to an inspirational experience
that they will remember
the rest of their life
that may even change
the rest of their life.
These students are been given
a lot: taxpayer dollars,
private donor dollars,
industry are stepping up
to support them because they
know that these
are gonna be the future leaders.
That ability to become
a leader is more than just
what you learn in the classroom.
Everyone who goes through
here and is given so much
really leaves
with that obligation
to make Florida, the country,
the world better.
