To celebrate #WorldEngineersDay this year, we are reflecting on what our college has accomplished, as well as setting our goals and expectations for what the future holds—not only in our college, but in the world around us. Last week, the Dean's Advisory Board gathered to gain insights into the college's vision, explore how they can contribute to its growth, and engage with talented Gator Engineering students. They also had the opportunity to tour some of our cutting-edge campus facilities like the Powell Family Structures & Materials Laboratory and HiPerGator. #GatorEngineering #Leadership #HigherEd #Innovation

The visit this week of a delegation of life sciences companies from the United Kingdom is a new chapter in the global integration the sector. The new U.K.-Florida Life Sciences Corridor builds on the long and productive history of trade between the U.K. and Florida and creates new opportunities to address shared health challenges. Read more about how this focused partnership will make the most of Florida's rapid rise in life sciences research, development and entrepreneurism at the link.

This is going to be a great event! Thank you to the VoLo Foundation for creating a week to focus on how we can tackle some of our toughest climate challenges. The event is free but space is limited. RSVP today at the link below.

The Corridor team has thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the delegation of more than 20 U. K. life sciences companies as they have explored Orlando, Tampa and now on to Miami. When Florida tells its story of how its building a tech-fueled economic future and its institutions are working together in productive partnerships, it’s not only impressive to those meeting our community for the first time but energizes the ecosystem in driving our shared future forward. On Wednesday, the companies had a fantastic visit to the USF Research Park with Sylvia Wilson Thomas, PhD and USF CONNECT, were able to get a deeper look at the Corridor services in connecting companies to University of South Florida and University of Central Florida through the Matching Grants Research Program. The Tampa Bay Economic Development Council hosted a wonderful evening at Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) where the delegation learned more about how Florida is working to build a healthier future through research and technology. His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for North America Niall Mackenzie CBE of Department for Business and Trade, Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Jason Weida, Tampa General Hospital CEO John D. Couris, USF Provost Prasant Mohapatra, Florida Department of Elder Affairs Secretary Michelle Branham and Haru Okuda made a compelling case for why Florida’s culture of boundary-breaking innovation makes it the place to take on the biggest problems in health with the best new ideas out there. Building these connections has never been more important as we face common challenges is improving the health of our communities. Thank you British Consulate-General Miami Rufus Drabble and Justine Assal MBE for all your efforts building these lasting ties. #florida #uk #lifesciences #trade #investment #specialrelationship #floridahightech #innovationliveshere

This week, the spotlight is on the international collaboration between the U.K. and Florida in the life sciences industry and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome a delegation of British life sciences companies to the Florida High Tech Corridor to see all the region has to offer. The week-long visit began in Orlando on Monday and will travel to Tampa and then Miami for many special visits and engagements that showcase Florida's globally-leading life sciences sector — one of the nation's largest and powered through partnerships between Florida's public and private research entities, entrepreneurs and leading healthcare organizations.
