Student Challenge is a select group of 16 students. Four students are chosen from each of the schools of the College of Arts & Sciences:

  • Education
  • Humanities
  • Sciences
  • Social Sciences

    Each student is selected by her/his school to serve as an academic representative of the College. These students visit area schools, telling their stories of college life and their unique academic experience.

    If you are interested in having a Student Challenge member or another student group visit your class or organization, please contact the Office of Academic Outreach, or use the form above.
