The Certificate honors students who have displayed academic excellence and who are dedicated to advancing the global citizenship mindset put forth by the Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am very grateful to receive this recognition from the UF International Center,” said Hu. “As an international student, studying abroad has been a meaningful opportunity for learning, exchange, and personal growth, while also involving many challenges along the way. This award is especially meaningful to me because it reflects the support and opportunities I have received at UF, recognizes the efforts of international students, and affirms the value of international perspectives in teaching, research, and academic community building. I am especially thankful to my department, college, mentors, colleagues, and family for their continued support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hu previously worked as a graduate assistant with the department and conducts research alongside multiple faculty members. Her research examines how outdoor environments support health and well-being, with a focus on older adults, green spaces, streetscape design, and evidence-based landscape design. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
