With a focal point for faculty research in water resources, the Center is a catalyst for developing collaborative projects, and a conduit to recruit undergraduate and graduate students and to reach out to stakeholders. It is a clearinghouse where policy and management decision-makers and the public obtain objective, science-based information on water resource issues impacting the State of Florida, the Southeast, and the nation.
The College of Agriculture and Food Science (CAFS) is committed to supporting the University’s mission and strategic plan by partnering with faculty, staff, and management. This includes the establishment of a control environment, level of accountability, and ethical framework that promotes commitment to the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and lawful conduct by promoting adherence to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, as well as standards and internal policies and protocols.
