Off Campus Life
The Office of Off Campus Life was created in June 2004. This office was created
from recommendations of the Town and Gown Task Force which included City of
Gainesville staff, UF personnel, and Gainesville community members. The task
force met in 2003 to make recommendations to both the City of Gainesville
and UF on items that might be addressed to improve and maintain positive
town and gown relationships. In 2004, the Director of Off Campus Life position
was created and charged with the supervision and creation of the Office of Off
Campus Life. Off Campus Life originally reported to the Dean of Students Office;
in 2006 Off Campus Life changed reporting lines from the Dean of Students
Office to the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs. The office and position
now reports directly to the Division of Student Affairs.
