College Of Agricultural And Life Sciences

Involvement

College is more than just earning a degree—it’s about making yourself stand out. When you graduate, you'll have the same degree as many of your peers, but the experiences you gain outside the classroom are what truly set you apart.

Getting involved on campus is the perfect way to build your unique story and discover more about yourself. Whether it’s joining a club, taking on a leadership role, volunteering or participating in campus events, these experiences not only help you grow but also help develop skills and make connections that can shape your future. Now is the time to dive in, discover your passions and make yourself interesting. The opportunities are endless—make the most of them!

Clubs and Organizations There are more than 45 CALS-affiliated student organizations. You can get to know many of them each fall during the CALS Kickoff, or you can choose to explore them each on your own.

Ambassadors are selected to represent the college for CALS tours, events, donors and more.

CALS Leadership Institute is a three-semester program to develop employability skills.

Choose the experience that's right for you.

Your time at UF is limited, so you have to make the most of it. The experiences you choose to pursue can shape both your personal growth and your professional future. Whether it’s gaining global perspective through a study abroad program, diving into hands-on research or applying classroom knowledge through internships like the Extension internship program, there are countless ways to enrich your college journey. For those who go above and beyond, the college also recognizes outstanding juniors, seniors and graduate students with annual awards for leadership, service, and academic excellence. Choose the opportunities that align with your goals and use your time here to build the experiences that will set you apart.
