The Gator Nation inspires a sense of community for all members of UF. Whether on the main campus in Gainesville or across the globe, all UF students, faculty, staff and alumni are a part of this diverse community. Our challenges as a community are encouraging and facilitating collaborative efforts to generate knowledge, acquire skills, and initiate practices that contribute to a sustainable, high quality of life on campus, in the state of Florida, and across the globe.  The Green Team Network has been developed to support members of the Gator Nation in assuming leadership for this effort.
