Hi EE Majors

My name is Justin Kim and I am one of the cofounders of Sling Health at the University of Florida. We are having our first general information meeting on October 24^th, 2017 in Room C1-17 of communicore building at 5:15 pm and was wondering if you could please share this event details with students in your department.

What is Sling Health?

Sling Health is a national, student-run biotech incubator (recently partnered with the American Medical Association [AMA]) that focuses on bringing together different disciplines in medicine, engineering, and business to create and market new biomedical technology.

Sling Health focuses on identifying real-world problems that clinicians run into on an everyday basis. These clinical problems are brought to interdisciplinary teams (composed of business, engineering, medical, and undergraduate students) interested in researching, designing, and prototyping solutions. Student teams participate in year-long design projects with the end goal of producing successful, marketable products.

As a new chapter, we have many opportunities for our new members including board member positions and team leader positions.

Thanks,

Justin Kim

Note on Thursday’s, I will not have hours or be in the office. In light of Richard Spencer’s event taking place that afternoon, advising hours for EE majors are  cancelled. While the university may not be closed that day, I encourage each of you to review the information at freespeech.ufl.edu to stay on top of the most up-to-date details regarding the afternoon. Should you be worried about classes that day, the current statement from the university is as follows: “We understand that this event and possible protest provokes fear, especially for members of our Gator family who are targets of messages of hate and violence simply because of their skin color, religion, culture, sexual orientation or beliefs. Faculty have been asked to be understanding with students on a case-by-case basis.”


As a safe space on campus, the advisors of the Student Services Office have an open door policy for any student that wishes to stop by. Should you have questions, concerns, or need a place to decompress at any time, please feel free to reach out to us.

CyberCorps® NSF SFS-National Science Foundation’s Scholarship for Service Program

National Science Foundation’s Scholarship for Service Program- http://fics-institute.ece.ufl.edu/nsf-cybercorps-sfs/

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, University of Florida, has received a grant from the National Science Foundation for the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program. The grant provides monetary support in the form of scholarships, covering full tuition and providing stipends, to domestic students pursuing degrees specializing in cybersecurity-related topics and information assurance. The program requires that students ‘pay-back’ the scholarship with service, that is a commitment to work for a Federal, State, Local or Tribal government organization in the United States for a period equal to the length of the scholarship. The goal of the CyberCorps® program is to recruit, educate, and train a diverse workforce of individuals interested in taking on the task of securing government agencies from cybersecurity and information technology system threats. Students from traditionally underrepresented populations, including women and minority populations, are strongly encouraged to apply. The University of Florida’s (UF) FICS Research Department will work closely with Florida International University (FIU), on the awarded joint grant towards developing an implementing the SURPASS: A Unique Scholarship Program in Hardware and Systems Security.  UF and FIU are uniquely qualified to offer this scholarship program in hardware and systems security (HSS) because of their curricular efforts, strong research programs, faculty strength, as well as unique lab facilities, which will help deliver an exemplary program in the nation. Both universities serve diverse student populations, have strong internationally-recognized hardware and systems security research programs, and extensive curricular offerings in cybersecurity. The UF team is led by FICS Research’s Education Director,  Prof. Swarup Bhunia, and includes fellow FICS Research faculty Diversity Director Prof. Daniela Oliveira, Co-Director  Mark Tehranipoor, and Prof. Kevin Butler. While, the FIU team is led by Prof. Selcuk Uluagac and includes Profs. Kemal Akkaya and Alexander Pons.
