Day of Service- Stop Hunger Now!
Day of Service- Stop Hunger NOW! All are WELCOME!
The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Collegiate
Farm Bureau and Gator Wesley Foundation have partnered with HungerU, Farm
Journal Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, DuPont, War on
Hunger, and Stop Hunger Now to host a meal packaging event!
Join us on November 19, 2015 from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm to help
package 20,000 plus meals which will be used to support development programs
and save lives in developing countries as well as domestically.
The event will take place at the Straughn Center located at
2142 Shealy Drive, Gainesville, FL 32611 (across from the Vet School). Please
bring a cap to wear while packaging food. If
you do not have a cap a hair net will be provided for you. Parking restrictions
will be lifted in the Straughn Center lot on the day of the event- however
carpooling is encouraged.
For more information please contact Charlotte Emerson at cemer@ufl.edu. We look forward to seeing
you there!
Admission to this event will be three non-perishable food items
which will be used to support the Field and Fork Food Pantry on campus. Help us
stock the shelves as we approach the holiday season!

NCU Assistant Professor in Water Resources Engineering
Position Description The successful candidate will establish a nationally recognized basic
research program that quantifies the impacts of climate change on agricultural water supply,
and crop water consumptive use in humid regions such as the southeastern United States. It
is envisioned that this faculty member will use remote sensing, including satellite and other
platforms, and physics-based approaches and tools to quantify and solve water-related issues
from field to watershed scale. Tools may include real-time sensing systems to relate crop
attributes to crop yields and to guide water management, with the goal of reducing negative
environmental impacts and maximizing water use efficiency. The faculty member will teach
a graduate level course in water management or atmospheric/environmental remote sensing,
and an undergraduate course.
Qualifications Ph.D. in Biological/Agricultural Engineering or Civil/Environmental Engineering
or closely related field is required. Knowledge of agricultural systems is desirable. Registration
as a Professional Engineer or qualification for licensure as a Professional Engineer is desirable.
