Perhaps more than anything, the Gators baseball team is a national championship contender this year because of MLB’s eligibility rules.

I would like to publicly thank UF President Bernie Machen for moderating the Jewish Awareness Month and Accent show featuring Alan Dershowitz event this past Wednesday evening. UF is lucky to have someone like Machen at the helm of our institution who shared, “If you have not been to Israel, you have not seen the world.”
Picture this scenario: It’s lunchtime. You’re hungry, so you go to Orange and Brew for a panini. You place your order, and because you have an unlimited meal plan, you hand the cashier your meal card.

Remember that 30 percent tuition increase UF President Bernie Machen proposed? It looks like that increase would hit students even harder because the Florida Legislature has to make cuts to Bright Futures after it convenes on March 8.
Everyone wants to study abroad. You rarely come across anyone who looks back on their experience negatively. They have their stories, and when they recount one, there are smiles on their faces and a twinkles in their eyes that tell you how much they value those memories.
