Welcome to UF. Let’s take on our freshman year together

I am so pleased to welcome all our new students to the University of Florida. I consider myself a freshman and a member of your class, since I started at UF in January. You bring new energy to campus, enlivening the university after a productive and restful summer. I offer a special shout out to transfer students and new international students.

The importance of thinking differently

When I was an electrical engineering student, most of my classmates looked like me and thought like me. Companies have learned in recent decades that having a workforce that consists mostly of white male engineers narrows their perspective and limits their capacity to innovate. We have learned that organizations are more likely to be successful over the long term if their members contribute racial, cultural, gender, geographic and disciplinary breadth. Similarly, top universities increasingly have students and faculty who bring a rich tapestry of knowledge and understanding due to their different races, religions and numerous other areas of experience and perspective.
