Vision
To cultivate a supportive and connected community where every PHHP student is equipped to take ownership of their academic journey, explore diverse career pathways, succeed in their undergraduate degree requirements, and thrive as the next generation of health leaders.
Mission
At the College of Public Health and Health Professions our academic advising team is committed to empowering students to maximize their education. Through individualized, accessible, and comprehensive advising, students are provided the foundation for success at the University of Florida and in their career. We connect tomorrow’s professionals with today’s opportunities through a dedicated network of advisors, campus partners, and community resources.
Academic advisors serve as a central point of guidance and are prepared to make appropriate referrals to ensure students receive comprehensive and informed support throughout their academic journey. No single advisor or mentor at the University of Florida has expertise in all areas.
