UF’s Strategic Development Plan Meetings
UF students, faculty and staff as well as members of the greater Gainesville community are invited to two events this month related to UF’s Strategic Development Plan. Both events are free.
The first is a Public Meeting on Wednesday, August 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Thelma A. Boltin Center at 516 NE Second Ave. The meeting will be an open forum to learn the latest information regarding UF’s Strategic Development Plan, discuss ideas and receive feedback from the community on future planning.
The second event is a public symposium on Wednesday, August 31 from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. in the President's Ballroom at Emerson Alumni Hall at 1938 W. University Ave. “University Towns: Perspectives on Strategic Development Planning” will explore how cities and universities across the country have worked together to implement plans similar to UF’s Strategic Development Plan. In the morning session, leading thinkers from both the public and private sector will present relevant case studies from their work in other cities that are home to large academic institutions. In the afternoon session, they will offer insights into the university’s evolving Strategic Development Plan.
Speakers and topics scheduled for the symposium are:
Danny Sniff, University of Georgia: “Planning and Preservation on a Southern Campus and College Town”
Gordon Merklein, University of North Carolina: “Strengthening the Core of College Towns”
Alice Raucher, University of Virginia: “Connecting Town and Campus”
Eime Tobari, Space Syntax: “Creating Urban Spaces that Foster Interconnectedness, Movement, Awareness, Encounter and Exchange”
Terry Foegler, City of Dublin, Ohio and The Ohio State University: “University and Community Partnerships for Redeveloping Urban Neighborhoods”
UF’s Strategic Development Plan will seek to provide a road map for the university and surrounding community’s future that supports UF’s rise to preeminence by identifying the best opportunities for wise growth, economic viability and livability over the next 40 to 50 years.
Two public forums have been held thus far, with more to come in the fall. The most recent, held July 27 at the GRU building downtown, drew a capacity crowd, including UF and community members, Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe and several city commissioners. Topics included how to preserve Gainesville’s history and independent character while moving forward to lay the groundwork for a successful city and university in years to come.
For more information, please visit the Strategic Development Plan website.

Re: PhD Student Opportunity in Water Resources –Spring 2017
Project Description
As the effect of climate change on weather patterns becomes clearer, there are major concerns as to whether cities are protected against the anticipated increasing number of extreme events. One of the major concerns in many urban areas is stormwater management, where climate change threatens to overwhelm pipes that are in poor condition and undersized relative to shifting weather. A high quality Graduate Research Assistant is being sought to contribute to a research project funded through the National Science Foundation. The study will focus on: (1) developing a novel framework that can incorporate various (and sometimes conflicting) climate models while accounting for extreme weather events, (2) modeling the hydrologic response of a stormwater system to these scenarios to identify the vulnerability of the system, and (3) optimizing green infrastructure placement to buffer the effects of climate change while accounting for uncertainties in weather patterns over a long planning horizon. Collaborations will include the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Expected start date is January 1, 2017. Applications will be reviewed as they are received and until the position is filled (anticipated middle of August 2016 at the latest). Ability and willingness to work in both field and laboratory settings is vital. A strong computational background is desired, and experience with the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is particularly beneficial.
Contact: Specific inquiries can be made to Jon Hathaway, PhD, PE - email: hathaway@utk.edu – web: hathaway.utk.edu

Register today for ENY 5405 Insect Vectors of Plant Pathogens! 100% online!
Improve your critical thinking and writing skills while you learn about insect, mite, and nematode vectors of plant pathogens!
The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the biology of arthropods and nematodes and the role they play in the spread of different plant pathogens. This course was designed to foster your creative and critical thinking skills by directing you through an independent exploration of weekly topics. The lectures begin by providing introductory material and readings to provide you with the background necessary to understand the topic. Questions will be posed during the lectures that will direct your exploration of the literature.
Writing assignments are designed to help you improve your scientific writing skills and provide you an outlet for demonstrating your comprehension of the topic. As the semester advances lectures will become shorter and you will be asked to pose questions and provide answers. By the end of the semester you should be more comfortable with this higher-level inquiry-based learning approach (that is expected from graduate students and research scientists) and that you have a new appreciation for insects, mites, and nematodes as vectors of plant pathogens.
