Leadership extends far beyond the football field! 🏈✨

Huge congratulations to the Sarasota High School Sarasota Sailors Football football team for earning a $20,000 community engagement award from Urban Edge Mentorship!

After participating in the Urban Edge lecture series hosted right here at New College of Florida, the Sailors put principles into action—logging over 350 hours of community service alongside NCF volunteers at the Senior Friendship Center of Sarasota.

From the halls of College Hall to serving our local seniors, these student-athletes proved what true character and mentorship look like. We’re proud to celebrate these outstanding young leaders! 💙

📸 Behind the scenes of FOX 13 at New College!

Dr. Tyler Fisher & a couple of students recently sat down with FOX 13 News to talk about an innovative New College of Florida program using puppetry to help incarcerated individuals build job interview skills and prepare for successful workforce reintegration.

The program pairs creativity with real-world impact, while giving New College students hands-on experience developing curriculum and working directly in the community. It’s another example of how our faculty and students are putting ideas into action beyond the classroom.

Keep an eye out for the story on FOX 13!

Today, we pause to remember, reflect, and honor the lives forever changed by September 11, 2001.

New College of Florida was honored to join the Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee for their 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, where we proudly honored Kay Daniels for her service, sacrifice, and lasting impact on our community and to confer upon her the honorary degree of Master of Educational Leadership.

May we never forget the courage of those who served, the lives we lost, and the strength of the communities that came together in the days that followed 9/11. Today, and always, we remember.

New College of Florida has earned its strongest recognition to date from The Princeton Review, receiving national distinctions for faculty, academic quality, financial aid, value and its record of preparing students for successful futures.

The College was named to The Princeton Review’s Best 392 Colleges, Best in the South and the 50 Colleges That Create Futures. It ranked No. 2 nationally among Top Schools for Financial Aid and No. 24 among Best College Values.
“The latest Princeton Review results tell a very different story from the political narrative often imposed on New College,” said President Richard Corcoran. “Students describe a college defined by exceptional professors, academic strength, financial support, value and opportunity, not political activism nor ideological conformity.”
