Honors Alumni SPOTLIGHT: NICHOLAS PAGE Honors alums Emily Fendrick and Nic Page in Exeter, England.

A

S AN INTERNATIONAL Studies student with longstanding interests in geography, political affairs, and international development, Honors student and Provost’s Scholar Nicholas Page always dreamed of living abroad. The path to realizing that dream began in 2019 when he participated in the Grand Challenge – a competition hosted by the University of Exeter in England – in which an interdisciplinary, international team of students collaborate in addressing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Nic’s group, focusing on Goal 13: Climate Action, developed a board game aimed at educating children and families on reducing their carbon footprint. After his positive experience in Exeter, Nic decided to return to the city with the Spring 2020 Honors Semester in Exeter program. Each year the Honors College sends a small cohort of students led by an Honors faculty member

to study at the University of Exeter for a full semester. Nic says he most enjoyed the interdisciplinary discussion-based courses at the University and the bonds he formed with fellow students while taking Honors courses abroad. Nic graduated with Honors from USF in Fall 2020 as a Provost Scholar and Global Citizens Award Recipient and is now a graduate student studying International Relations at the University

of Exeter. He looks forward to exploring and learning more about the world and after graduation hopes to work in London and, eventually, in the UN office in Geneva. Looking back, Nic views his experiences in Exeter as the most enriching aspect of his time studying at USF, and as integral to his decided career path. He says “if I hadn’t taken the risk to study abroad for the first time with Grand Challenge, none of this would have happened.” - Emily Fendrick

If I hadn’t taken the risk to study abroad for the first time with Grand Challenge, none of this would have happened.” – Nic Page, International Studies ’20
