The other colleges are Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine. Established in 1958, the College was the first of its type in the United States dedicated to educating students of many different health professions in an academic health center. In 2003, the College expanded beyond its original focus on health professions to embrace public health as integral to its mission and goals. We envision our long history of national leadership in the education of health professionals to continue far into the future through development and application of innovative models of education, research, and service that derive from collaboration among public health disciplines and the health professions. Guiding Statements Purpose Advance and integrate education, research, and service to meet ongoing and emerging local, regional and global health challenges. Mission We shape tomorrow’s public health and health professionals through dynamic and responsive educational programs, transformational research, groundbreaking discoveries, and equitable health-related service. Our collaborations within the College and beyond advance the breadth of knowledge, the quality of science, and the attainment of professional distinction. Vision We will excel in developing and delivering innovative, sustainable solutions to pressing health-related challenges for the greater good of individuals and communities in Florida, the nation, and the world.

    WWW.GREEKS.UFL.EDU WWW.UFIFC.ORG UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA OF UNIVERSITY INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL INTERFRATERNITY Interfraternity Council RECRUITMENT GUIDE 2 0 1 8-2019 ABOUT THE IFC The Interfraternity Council (IFC) at the University of Florida is the governing body for 25 men’s fraternities. The Interfraternity Council is chiefly responsible for ensuring the performance of its chapters with regard to the pillars of scholarship, leadership, service, and community. The IFC is also charged with organizing specific events including fall and spring recruitment weeks, new member orientation, and other social and educational programs. The IFC aims to lead by example by offering additional leadership opportunities and scholarships, hosting its own service events and philanthropies, and by working toward bettering the Greek, UF, and Gainesville Communities. LEARN MORE AT UFIFC.ORG WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN A FRATERNITY? After joining a fraternity you will enter into an educational new member program for up to 8 weeks. Programming differs from each chapter, as each fraternity has their own events and rituals. During this time, you will be educated in the Greek ideals of the chapter and community, while building a strong bond with the members of your new fraternity. Make sure to ask about the programs you will go through as a new member. WHAT TYPE OF LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME IF I JOIN AN IFC FRATERNITY? IFC fraternity chapters at UF have a wide variety of housing options. Some chapters have official chapter houses on- and off-campus in a variety of locations within the university context area. Some fraternity brothers may also choose to live together in personal off-campus houses.
