Happy travelers on the way to Jacksonville, FL

Presenters, attendees after an awesome FURC

Our trip to FURC at the University of North Florida was a great success! Students shared their own research, heard from peer researchers from around the state, met with almost 40 recruiters, attended workshops on topics ranging from applying to Grad School, Summer Research Opportunities, and Getting Your Research Patented, expanded their professional networks, and made new friends. A big thank you to the College of Arts and Sciences for their generous support for FURC and other conference travel. Amazing job, FURC participants!

Imranda Ward
,
2018
IDEA Grant recipient
Dance research in St. Kitts & Nevi
|
Imranda Ward, born and raised in Miami, Florida is a senior majoring in Dance at Florida State University. Since at Florida State, she has taken courses within the dance department that has sparked her interest in other artistic areas such as filmmaking and dance research. She volunteers at the Maggie Alesse Center for Choreography at the School of Dance where she films, archives, and documents artist residencies showcased at FSU.
In March 2018, Imranda received the Annual
Creativity and Innovation Fellowship Award
through the Center of Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement where she studied cultural and folkloric dance in St. Kitts and Nevis, as well as investigated her cultural identity through dance research. She presented her research at the 2018 President’s Showcase for Undergraduate Research Excellence and the Going Global Showcase, both under the supervision of Jawole Zollar and Michelle Grant- Murray.
Upon the completion of graduation, Imranda's plans are to attend the FSU NYC program where she will intern and work alongside like-minded individuals who are interested in both film and dance. Her goal is to continue exploring film and post production while engaging in dance company or freelance work.

Juan Barco,
2017
IDEA Grant recipient
Commercial airline pilot
|
After graduation, Juan Barco spent six months in Washington D.C. interning for former Senator Bill Nelson while working for an aviation company called Signature Flight Support where he learned a great deal about government affairs and the aerospace industry. After his time in D.C., Juan enrolled in a professional pilot program in Florida where he received two commercial pilot certificates and his flight instructor license.
Juan says, "The experiences I had as an
IDEA Grant
recipient reinforced my desire to travel and teach. The challenges and failures that I encountered during my time abroad led me to do what felt true to me, which was to fly. I met so many incredible people abroad, all with such a true sense of passion and love towards their goals, their careers, and their dreams, that I felt like my time there wouldn't do justice if I didn't do the same: chase MY dream."
Juan is now working as a flight instructor teaching and helping young aviators accomplish THEIR dreams. "This has been the most rewarding experience of my life", he states, "and I don't really think I could have found it if it wasn't for those decisions I made towards the end of my college career as an IDEA Grant recipient."
