From the Director Dear Students: The Office for Student Financial Affairs’ major purpose is to help eligible students meet educational costs while attending the University of Florida. Understanding the financial aid process is critical. You probably have many questions about what you can expect and what is expected of you, and you will find many of your answers here. You can get answers to questions not covered in this handbook from our Web site or from direct interaction with your financial aid adviser in our office. This handbook will (1) provide you with basic information about expenses you can expect while attending the University, (2) summarize the kinds of financial assistance that may be available to you, and (3) explain how to apply for aid, how your eligibility to receive each type of aid is determined, and what your obligations will be when you accept aid. The financial aid application process is lengthy and complex. Successfully completing this process will require intensive participation on your part. Students who are organized and responsible in their financial affairs, who take time to learn about the financial aid process, and who work with their aid advisers will find the process to be relatively smooth and free of frustration. Please study this handbook and any other materials you may receive, and if you have further questions, contact you adviser.We will be glad to assist you. Karen L. Fooks, Director Office for Student Financial Affairs We have taken care to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of information in this handbook. However, contents are subject to change without notice because of changing federal and state legislation, as well as unintended error. All financial aid awards are contingent upon availability of funds and subject to revision. The Gator Aid Handbook is available upon request in alternative formats for students with documented, print-related disabilities. Information from this handbook is also available on our screen-reader friendly Web site at www.sfa.ufl.edu. For more information, call Student Financial Affairs’ telephone line for students with disabilities: 392-1272 (V/TDD). UF Handbook of Scholarships and Financial Aid This handbook was produced by the Office for Student Financial Affairs for distribution to University of Florida students. Special thanks to all university colleges and departments, the University of Florida Foundation, and to the university community for assistance in compiling the information in this book.

    Berea College Honor Roll of Giving 2011-2012 Honor Roll of Giving The names of those captured in this Honor Roll have done something remarkable—these people have changed lives. By giving to Berea College, these generous women and men have made possible a host of educational opportunities for Berea students. As I reflect upon these names, I think how inspiring it is to have thousands of different people come together on an annual basis for one cause—to support the mission of Berea College. From alumni, to friends of Berea, to foundations and corporations, the Berea story would not be complete without those you see listed here. These great people saw something in our students and our mission. They saw possibility and promise. Not only that, they acted, giving selflessly to help others. We are grateful for their generosity, compassion, and steadfast belief in our students’ potential. Berea students are extraordinary in so many ways. Limited only by their financial need, Berea students go on to do great work in countless ways. See some of their incredible stories here http://www.berea.edu/give-to-berea/now-more-than-ever/. Our sincere thanks go out to all those who help make this possible. Sincerely, Michelle L.

EMERGENCY MOTION AND MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION An outbreak of the novel coronavirus is imminent in Miami-Dade County’s Metro West Detention Center (“Metro West”), where Defendants are confining over 1,800 human beings in conditions that threaten their lives. Plaintiffs have limited access to soap, have no safe way to dry their hands, sleep within one to two feet of one another, must wait days to seek medical attention, and are denied basic hygiene supplies such as laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, and tissues. Many human beings confined in Metro West are medically vulnerable to the COVID-19 disease, and they fear for their lives. And as of the filing of this motion, multiple staff members in the jail have tested positive for the virus. As the reach of COVID-19 grows inside and outside the jail, time is running out to save 1 Case 1:20-cv-21457-KMW Document 3 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/05/2020 Page 2 of 33 Plaintiffs’ lives and to prevent the jail from becoming an epicenter of community infection.

  • Southern News Summer 2016
    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE OUTHERNNEWS S VOLUME 61 • ISSUE 2 • SUMMER 2016 A letter from the president One of the greatest challenges for any American college today is achieving continuous improvement throughout the entire institution. The FSC faculty, administration, and student leaders constantly pursue enhancements to academic programs, services, activities, and outcomes measurements of student success. This issue of Southernnews contains many examples of campus results that demonstrate our success in meeting this challenge, which we do with great enthusiasm. One of our newest programs was the Child of the Sun Distinguished Speakers Series, which focused attention on the sciences outside the classroom, for not only science majors, but also all students who are interested in scientific discoveries. The series included presentations by Dr. William Phillips, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space. The first Marine Science Symposium was also launched, which featured a return visit from our 81st honorary chancellor, the renowned ocean explorer and conservationist, Jean-Michel Cousteau. FSC faculty members continue to garner important recognitions for their impressive achievements. Professor of History James M. Denham, Ph.D., received the Rembert Patrick Award for best scholarly book on Florida history by the Florida Historical Society and was named the 2016 Distinguished Author by Florida House on Capitol Hill. Dr. Risdon Slate, professor of criminology, was honored with the John Howard Award for significant contributions to the practice of corrections by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. The entire FSC community celebrated the wonderful news that Professor of Chemistry Carmen Gauthier, Ph.D., was named a Fulbright Scholar, one of the world’s highest academic achievements.

The overall goal for the Task Force was to provide recommendations to ensure that UF graduation ceremonies celebrate and are meaningful for all graduates. Throughout the Fall 2018 semester, the Task Force engaged in conversations with stakeholders, benchmarked with peer institutions, and brainstormed on how the University of Florida could elevate graduation to a level of preeminence. Through this process, we learned students want graduation ceremonies to be student-centric, celebratory, and accessible. Guided by a clear purpose and set of values, we believe graduation ceremonies at UF can strike a balance between tradition, efficiency, and most importantly, celebration. The full report will provide readers with the process, context, and outcomes of the six-month (August 2018 – January 2019) efforts of the Task Force. In order to provide transparency, the outputs of this Task Force are in the format of themes and recommendations. The “Themes and Recommendations” section provides a fuller explanation of each theme and the corresponding recommendations.
