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.

Historic preservation is recognized as a key component of the economy, character and appeal of the City and its neighborhoods. It has historically been integrated into the City’s governance and builds upon its past historic preservation achievements by continuing to make conservation of the City’s heritage an important priority. Until recently, the historic preservation movement focused on saving individual sites and neighborhoods without concerning itself with the broader issues of regional development patterns, suburbanization of retail and urban sprawl in general. The specific focus on buildings and neighborhoods was an understandable response to staving off demolition of significant buildings or fighting insensitive policies that undermined neighborhoods. As historic preservation efforts have thrived nationally and neighborhoods have revitalized, the focus has expanded. This includes a more holistic conception of concerns and issues that interconnect relate to downtown development, suburban sprawl, and environmental protection and sustainability. Historic preservation in a broader definition has become known by some as heritage conservation. This encompasses not just structures, sites, districts, neighborhoods and the prehistoric and historic archaeological sites but a more inclusive approach to history. Heritage conservation includes more intrinsic ideas like cultural landscapes and view sheds. The United States recognizes the interrelationship and the interdependency between sustainable development and heritage conservation. The built environment is the most sustainable one, embodying the energy of each piece’s creation.
