New program: UF in London Smart Cities

  The UF in London Smart Cities program will give students the opportunity to understand and appreciate first-hand the role that smart technology plays in enabling London’s status as a Smart City. A smart city uses information and communication technology (ICT) to improve operational efficiency, share information with the public, and provide a better quality of government service and citizen welfare. Students will participate in hands-on activities and exploration of smart elements in London to enhance their knowledge of ICT principles. The program will give an overview of smart city elements in London, with a focus on mobility and human-centered design to improve the quality of citizens welfare.   The program will take place May 7 to 14, 2023 and it will be taught by Dr. Sarah Jay .   More information and application can be found at: https://ufabroad.internationalcenter.ufl.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAngular&id=13200     Best, Ping   -------

C3 Support and Collaboration

  Hi—I hope this email finds you well. My name is Marissa Altenburg, and I am a new Career Coach at the Career Connection Center (C3) which specializes in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts {primarily digital arts}, and Mathematics) pathways. I wanted to send out information regarding career fairs and programming that could be important to the student population you support.   In addition, I wanted to reach out and say I am here to support your students and you with outreaches (coming to your space in-person or virtually, or y'all visiting the C3 space and presenting on career topics) and popup services (me coming to the space and doing express career appointments on the various career topics; sometimes with industry partners). Popup events can be in a classroom, in a lobby of a building, or wherever makes sense to reach students.  Some career topics include 1. Choosing/Changing Your Major, 2. Exploring Career Options, 3. Finding/Discussing Your Career Interests,
