About the Center
Mission
The Bob Graham Center is a community of students, scholars and politically engaged citizens, devoted to enhanced citizenship; the training of current and future public and civic leaders who can identify problems and spearhead change; and the development of policy on issues of importance to Florida, the United Sates and the global community.
The Center brings the rich academic and intellectual resources of the University of Florida to these goals.
Through rigorous coursework, research and scholarship, and experiential learning, the Center enables students and faculty to understand and master the theory and competencies which are essential for citizens to utilize and discharge their rights and responsibilities within a democratic government. The Center also provides a forum at which state, national and global issues of the day are vigorously debated and analyzed by policy makers, scholars, students and members of our community in order that thoughtful dialogue on critical issues shall move us toward solutions for the common good.
Located in Pugh Hall in the heart of the historic University of Florida campus, the Center resides in a state of the art building designed to make our community an asset for and beyond the campus.
