Notes from the staff at The Post at UF Health.
Robin Hood steals hearts
Members of the Dance Alive National Ballet took time from their production of Robin Hood to swoop into the UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital and visit with the children. The children were excited to meet the dancers and learn about their roles in the classic story. The dancers wore masks out of an abundance of caution because they have not had their flu shots. — Danielle Frew
UF’s guest Wi-Fi network improved
UFIT has upgraded the University of Florida’s guest Wi-Fi network. The new ufguest network, already live in the renovated Stephen C. O’Connell Center, will be live in all areas that the current ufvisitor network is available. Several end-user enhancements are part of the ufguest deployment, making connecting to Wi-Fi while on campus a more streamlined and efficient process. They include a better Wi-Fi connection, more direct access and a network that can handle more simultaneous users.
