With all the doom-and-gloom talk about our faltering economy and the impact of UF’s budgetary woes, it’s easy to overlook how College of Education faculty, students and staff rose to the occasion and still managed to forge an impressive year of accomplishments. By clicking on the links above, you can view an informative and, yes, even entertaining “flip-video” of a slide presentation made recently by UF Education Dean Catherine Emihovich at the college’s fall Faculty Welcome and Recognition Reception. The video lasts 15 minutes.

As evidenced by her peace-sign earrings and accompanying selections of 1960s rock tunes, Emihovich embraced the event’s chosen “Woodstock” theme and infused some of the peace-love-and-protest music and mindset of that historic 1969 hippie fest into her presentation. As she points out, there’s ample reason for optimism in facing the college’s future, because (as they sing at Woodstock), we can always get by . . . “with a little help from my friends.”
