Here is the info for submission of a thesis - they are working on getting a web based submission process. Note also if they are using their thesis to help satisfy Honors program requirements they will need to contact us as well.
  • Submit your completed thesis to your department following the appropriate process (this will be department-specific). Your advisor and undergraduate coordinator will be able to assist you with this.
  • Submit the following materials via email to the UF Library IR Coordinator: (a) your completed and signed Honors Thesis Submission Form, (b) thesis files (note: file formats should conform to the acceptable formats list), (c) a signed Internet Distribution Permissions form for granting access (if this form is not received, the thesis will not be publicly available), and (d) for all copyrighted materials included in the thesis, a signed letter of permission to quote or reproduce copyrighted material.
Partners in the Parks projects at national parks across the country offer unique opportunities for collegiate honors students and faculty to visit areas of the American landscape noted for their beauty, significance and lasting value. Seminars led by university faculty and park personnel will include historical, scientific, cultural, and other important areas unique to a given park. Projects will also take advantage of exciting recreational opportunities in the parks to broaden participant's understanding of the overall value of national parks to our country and its citizens.
