Rivership Romance
Some of us from the Information Technology Group enjoyed a relaxing lunch and cruise on the St. John’s river.

We also enjoyed the natural Florida setting of birds, cypress swamp, and, yes, an alligator warming in the sun. Continue reading Rivership Romance
Josh’s UF Robot Video
Josh thoroughly enjoyed his mechanical engineering lab this past semester. Josh is a hands-on kind of guy and really enjoyed learning how to use the lathes and other equipment.

Ben’s Reviews

He only added two words, as far as I can tell, so I guess he really liked it!” This is his second review, Pushing Daisies. Ben had also received an excellent comment for an essay he wrote for a UF professor. I KNOW these are IB-honed writing skills. Continue reading Ben’s Reviews
