Is anyone missing this kitty near Pugh Hall at UF? I feed the campus cats there, and I’ve never seen this kitty before, and they seem quite lost, scared, and friendly. Please share, and if you recognize this cat, please reach out!

Also, if anybody has an index recommendation I’d be super grateful - I’ve been struggling with creating one.

Question UF MHA degree

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I was wondering if the Master's in Healthcare Administration is worth it? Would there be any advancement with this degree? I am sure the fellowships at Shands are hard to obtain, and I know only a few get them, so I was just wondering. If anyone has done this degree or is thinking about it, I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks

Admissions Thoughts on admission odds for UF class of 27

0 Upvotes

About to send out college applications as a dual-enrolled student at the end of my junior year. Currently thinking about an Ivy League, but UF is my backup school. What does everyone think my odds are for UF (or Ivy League if you've known anyone who's gone)?

Academics:

1500 SAT (780 in math), 4.8 weighted GPA, 4.0 unweighted, 78 college credits.

Club Involvement:

College Student Government VP, head delegate of a nationally recognized Model UN team (one of the top five-ish community college teams in the world), president of a college engineering club currently competing nationally with top universities, and president of a campus programming club.

Awards and Recognitions:

Intercollegiate debate champion (top record in the comp history), accepted into two highly elite international leadership programs with under 50 students accepted, Eagle Scout, and Intercollegiate programming competition champion.

Community Involvement:

200+ hours of community service, an internship with a local policy organization (a team comprised of grad and undergrad students) where I chaired an intercollegiate conference, a long-time volunteer with a hospice organization, and teaching two eleven-week courses for middle schoolers (one on speech and another on programming).

This is most of my active involvement. I've never played any sports but I'm thinking of competing in a body building comp soon-ish. I also have a programming portfolio with some pretty advanced operating system and game engine design projects, but most of them are over a year old.

I think my odds are pretty good, but I'd like to see everyone's thoughts. I'm also open to any suggestions of things I could add/focus extra on to improve my app.

Thanks, everyone!

EDIT: this is not a prank post btw genuinely curious about my odds. Homeschooled my whole life if that explains anything

Classes UF Job posting with (potential) spelling error, and discrepancy. Need answers from employees at UF

0 Upvotes

**Job no:**538823
**Work type:**Staff Full-Time
**Location:**Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)
**Categories:**Facilities Operations/Skilled Trades, Veterinary Medicine/Animal Care
**Department:**63400200 - FS-BLDGSRVC OPERATIONS-EG

I'm ensuring my research is accurate; UF ranks 34 out of all universities in the United States, yes? So I just glance at their job postings for >>let me mind you no more than 2 minutes<< and I have spotted at least 1 thing requiring a UF employee to ensure my detail-analysis is not wrong, whilst the rest are just really bad job description grammar.

Here are my criticisms and grievances:

- Grievance 1. On the first stanza of the job description, it should print the following in quote to be grammatically accurate without subtracting the job application's original wording:

"Cleans and maintains on a daily basis all halls, offices, shops, classrooms, restrooms, conference rooms, labs, gym areas, locker rooms, and elevators, which includes: sweeping, dusting, dust-mopping, wetmopping, spot-mopping, reconditioning of floors and spot washing and cleaning of walls, doors, and partitions.".

The only other alternative is for HR or whoever proofread this job posting (to be immediately drug and alcohol tested) re-work this job description, or just get someone who can (like me) do it for free and better than all of your staff and HR combined. Then hire me, and watch all the clown shows start packing up and moving away.

- Discrepancy 1: is it "striping" or stripping? The job description on stanza 2 is clearly communicating the floor maintenance standards and expectations. I've done industrial cleaning and I've never heard of "striping" unless you're painting striped lines on blacktop, asphalt, or concrete. I need clarification from HR and related leadership on this wording. If it's "striping", then ignore this discrepancy. If it's "stripping", PLEASE do a delta tango (drug test) on whoever was leadership, HR, proofread and approved this job application.

- Grievance 2. Please view the "special instructions to applicants:" partition of the job posting. Tell me dear netizens, tell me what is wrong with this following sentence:

"Multiple vacancies will be fill from this posting.]".

What in the five flying skies is a right bracket doing in a job posting? The ] is NOWHERE near the period key. Fire ALL HR, leadership, and replace them all with Gen Z with Bachelor's or Master's degrees RIGHT NOW. You better know ninth grade English if you're mandating it on a job and my livelihood as the applicant, depends on you not flunking school at the rate of a15-year-old.

I hope HR reads this reddit post of mine, hires me, and puts me in charge of leadership. This is unacceptable from a top 30 university. All HR here needs a drug and alcohol test NOW and every 30 days/1 calendar month (to include months like February). I know my stuff, if I do my job wrong I get fired. Why do you get to do your job wrong and not get fired? Hire me. I don't get the excuse of flunking school, my dad didn't allow it.

Also this is a facilities position, you should encourage your employees to use the NATO alphabet and have a complete understanding of military time. What if someone is on the radio and you need to distinguish B, V, E, T, Q? If your employees do not know the Julian Calendar, the NATO alphabet, and military time, I demand all HR and leadership be FIRED, and put me in charge and watch this entire campus be SPOTLESS. I mean military sarge spotless.
