The University's Forensics Team has a strong history of success. The team travels to colleges and universities across the southeast United States and competes in public speaking, debate, and interpretation events. Students do not need any past experience but those with an interest in mock trial or theatre are encouraged to join. The team competes four to six times a semester and travels to national tournaments. Homecoming Homecoming has become an exciting fall tradition, centered around UWF's outstanding soccer team.
Homecoming involves a variety of activities from recreation to entertainment to spirit.
The intercollegiate athletic program comprises competitive teams in eleven sports. Championship playoff opportunities are provided in each sport. Each team plays a full schedule of competition with schools throughout the southeastern United States, and many institutions from the midwestern and eastern sections of the country visit UWF in the spring. The Office of Student Activities in conjunction with the Campus Activity Board provides a number of student leadership development programs. Programs are available to serve the needs of all students regardless of leadership experience.
