People from all over the world come to Gainesville to get a fresh start in a place of real opportunity. But there are probably very few who get here the way Nekita Robinson did.
Knowing she had more potential than could be realized in a mill town of less than 20,000 in eastern North Carolina, Robinson decided to force herself to move on – by writing down the names of all the states, putting them in a hat, and promising herself that she would move to the state she drew out of the hat.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In the world’s most technologically advanced country, math and science teachers are in shockingly short supply. Now the University of Florida is making a bold move to make sure the state has enough qualified science and math teachers to educate the next generation.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — To stay afloat as a world economic power, the United States must radically change its model for funding scientific research, says a University of Florida professor who studies higher education issues.

A new study by three University of Florida education professors could cause a nationwide change in the way colleges prepare teachers to deal with students who speak English as a second language.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The size of the school district often determines whether students are punished under zero tolerance policies and given another chance for an education, a new University of Florida study finds.
In Florida, larger school districts are more likely than smaller ones to have mandatory expulsion policies for students who bring guns to schools and to impose mandatory suspension for the possession of knives and drugs, as well as bullying, said Brian Schoonover, who completed the research for his doctoral dissertation in education at UF.

Just a few seconds after the shuttle Atlantis thundered from its launch pad at 7:38 EDT on June 8, I continued clicking the shutter button on my Canon digital SLR as the spacecraft soared into orbit with its cargo of seven crew members. I found myself mentally willing the Atlantis higher-higher-higher through my camera viewfinder as it climbed closer to the most dangerous point in its ascent—when the solid rocket boosters separate from the orbiter.

It’s a silent tragedy within our midst.
