Welcome to college! Whether you have grown up around diversity your whole life or are coming from a town or high school where everyone looks a lot like you, college life is going to confront you with ideas and people you have never interacted with before. InnerQuest, or IQ, is designed to bring together incoming students from different backgrounds for a variety of fun-filled and exciting activities that will help you get to know one another as we explore issues related to race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, gender and sexual orientation. We invite you to raise your IQ during this unique bonding opportunity. Learn more about yourself, meet new people, and explore the differences and similarities that you have with fellow members of the Gator Nation.
