Rise and Shine Gators!

Happy Monday, Gators!

Today I would like to share with you the link to a video called "Rise and Shine, Gators." If you have the time, please spend two minutes watching this video that was created as a motivational tool for students across campus. It highlights what it is like to live in the heart of the Gator Nation.

Here at the University of Florida, we are constantly striving to be the best university we can be. Although we are the best state university in Florida, we are striving for more. Each year this school is more and more competitive across the board. Admissions is increasingly competitive each year, and the students coming in each year are smarter and smarter. The University of Florida is a challenging university filled with driven students who strive to make a difference in the world. The environment here is one in which all students challenge each other and strive to make everyone involved in the learning workplace better. Each year, we come closer and closer to our goal of being a top ten public university in the nation. It is up to us, the students, to accomplish that goal. This is why I encourage everyone to get involved on campus, study as hard as you can and make a difference. We are committed to our goals here at the SG headquarters, and ask the same of every student at this university. Rise and shine, Gators! The time is now for the #UFRising, as we have the opportunity to become one of the most prestigious universities not only in the southeast, but all of America. Seize your day, Gators!
