Congratulations to the 2024 Business Affairs Superior Accomplishment Award Recipients!

Thank you to all who attended the ceremony in support of our amazing colleagues.

Congratulations Chief Linda Stump-Kurnick.

Congratulations to Linda Stump-Kurnick, Assistant Vice President and Chief of UFPD for being named one of this year’s higher education and healthcare Campus Safety Director of the Year finalists.

Thank you, Officer Williams.

Kudos to Officer S. Gerard Williams for his pivotal role in cracking a case. During an event, Officer Williams spotted a group of bicycles locked together, one of which matched the description of a stolen bicycle the Criminal Investigations Division had been trying to locate. Due to Officer Williams’s keen observations, he recovered the stolen bicycle and provided detectives with a break in the case.

Officer Williams has been with UFPD since 2012. He is a member of the Honor Guard, a RAD (women’s self-defense) Instructor, and a Bike Officer. He is also a certified Law Enforcement Mountain Bike Instructor, teaching other officers the skills needed to be a bicycle-certified officer.

2024 EH&S Engineering Day Event

Last month, the Department of Environmental Health & Safety held an Engineering Day event at the New Engineering Building (NEB) educating faculty and staff about lab and chemical safety, fire safety, hazard waste information, and more.

Did you know there are opportunities for your department to connect with local small businesses?

You're invited to the upcoming Small Business Opportunity Fair on April 24, hosted by UF Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD).

This event is a great way for you to come meet and learn about the products and services small businesses have to offer and how they can help your department.
