It has been an exciting spring semester here at the College of Engineering. We recently graduated over 1,000 new Gator Engineers across five separate commencement ceremonies. Our new president, Dr. Kent Fuchs—an engineer himself—attended some of our undergraduate ceremonies. He spoke to the importance of an engineering education and of the programs and institutes we have in place here at the college that help prepare our students for the workplace and the world. Gator Engineering has recently garnered national attention from the White House, the National Science Foundation, the United Nations, national investors and more—as you'll read below. These accolades demonstrate our commitment to becoming one of the best engineering schools in the country, alongside the university's efforts to secure a spot amongst the nation's top 10 public institutions.
We wish you a wonderful and relaxing summer and hope to see you back on campus for our reunion this fall. It will be held on November 7th, during Homecoming weekend—details to follow in the weeks ahead.
Warm regards,
Cammy R. Abernathy
Dean, UF College of Engineering
