Experience Digital Worlds: Fall 2025 Ambassador-Led Tours

Step into the heart of innovation at the UF Digital Worlds Institute! This fall, we’re opening our doors for a series of guided tours led by our very own Digital Worlds Student Ambassadors. These tours are designed to give you an authentic, first-hand look at what it’s like to study, create, and collaborate in our unique environment.

As current students in the Digital Arts & Sciences program, our ambassadors will share their stories, answer your questions, and give you insight into how Digital Worlds prepares students for success at the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling.

How to Register: Fill out the quick form with your contact details, tour date, and personal interests. Once submitted, our team will reach out with confirmation and the key details you’ll need for your visit.

Please Note: This tour will not include information about the MiDAS graduate program or tour the UF Reality Lab. If you are specifically interested in the MiDAS program, we’d be happy to arrange an individual one-on-one tour and advising session. To schedule, please email: advising@digitalworlds.ufl.edu
