Thank you, thank you, thank you! We have just completed the busiest summer we have ever experienced. We have 165 separate buildings in the housing operation and I believe we completed some type of project in each one of those buildings. The talent and skill of the housing staff is unquestionably one of the best at the University of Florida. From painting projects to commons renovations, from replacing filters to replacing roofs, from landscaping projects to picnic tables and benches, from cleaning the facilities to installing new lights, from pest management to new lobbies, from carpet replacement to new fan coils, from finding beds for all the students to all the new furniture, and from creating new social media messages to vibrant marketing, from hiring and training hall staff to advising student groups, you really were exceptionally busy every day of the summer.
Parents, alumni, and students have commented on how different the residence halls appear. We just keep raising the bar and making a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for your exceptional work this summer and getting our facilities ready for the fall term.
