“The UFCOM Office of Graduate Education is committed to the health and well-being of our scientists in training. Graduate studies can be very demanding, as students balance coursework, research, and graduate assistantships or other employment; often during a time of increased personal/family responsibility.”
“The UFCOM Office of Faculty Affairs & Professional Development supports UFCOM faculty scientists, educators, and clinicians to promote personal/professional well-being and job satisfaction. Recognizing that professional fulfillment is a lifelong journey, efforts are made to aid faculty across all stages of their career.”
