What is the Gulf Scholars Program?
The driving mission of the GSP is to develop a new generation of leaders and change agents to solve large, messy socio-environmental problems in the Gulf of Mexico region.
Pillars
Program goals are inherent within each of the learning outcomes and rooted in our three UCF GSP pillars- Communication, Critical Thinking, and Teamwork.
Communication
ability to translate knowledge to wide range of audiences through varying formats and mediums.
Critical Thinking
capacity to work through complex problems, incorporating a wide range of “ways of knowing” toward innovative outcomes that acknowledge context and history.
Team Work
skills to work effectively across difference and difficulty toward a better understanding of the world around them and achieve shared, superordinate goals.
