What is ACCENT?

ACCENT, the University of Florida's Speakers Bureau, has been bringing prominent speakers to campus since the early 1960's.

The purpose of ACCENT is to enhance the education of the students at the University of Florida outside of the classroom. Not only do students get to hear the viewpoints, insights, and experiences of prominent public figures, they are also provided with the opportunity to engage in a question and answer session at the end of each program.

ACCENT is committed to bringing quality programs that are diverse, timely, and often controversial in nature. Politics, sports, business, literature, entertainment, and cultural affairs are fust a few examples of the areas that ACCENT explores each semester.

All of the ACCENT programs are free and open to the student body, because they are funded by student activity and service fees. As a courtesy to the local community, ACCENT programs are also free and open to the general public.

This year could very well be one of the most exciting years in ACCENT history. We would love for you to be a part of it. If you would like to become involved in ACCENT or give suggestions for speakers, please come by the ACCENT office, email us, or give us a call. We are always happy to speak with you. We look forward to seeing you at the shows!
