With the spring semester decidedly in the rearview mirror, now's a great time to take stock of the impactful work that ESSIE is doing.

Inside, you'll find stories about: taking concrete steps towards sustainability; why light poles failed during Hurricane Ian; the new leader of UF’s Center for Coastal Solutions; predicting storm damage with computer models; UF's original steel teaching sculpture gets a facelift; and the change atop the Weil Hall clock tower.
