As we begin a new academic year, let me start by first acknowledging the extensive work that has gone on throughout the summer to prepare us for this day. To the opening of new buildings like the Public Safety Building, the Honors Village, and soon the Malachowsky Hall for Data Science & Information Technology, to rolling out mobile credentialing, enhancing campus security, campus beautification efforts, and so much more.

You all have played a role in getting our campus ready for our students, faculty, and staff. Thank you for the hard work you do every day.

Business Affairs Departments Collaborate on Conservation Area Land Management (C.A.L.M) Plan

The University of Florida offers a valuable natural environment for students, faculty, staff and the greater Gainesville community to enjoy.

Beginning in February 2022, a team led by Rachel Mandell, Kaylee August, and Angelique Hennon, began updating UF’s CALM plan, which has not been updated in nearly 20 years.

UF’s CALM plan serves to document the existing conditions of campus conservation areas while supplying added recommendations for future enhancement.
