UF faculty and staff have contributed to each phase of the Empowering UF project. Leaders and subject-matter experts representing all of UF’s colleges, administrative units and component units have shared their thoughts and recommendations about our university’s finance, research, human resources, payroll and administrative systems and processes. In 2025, representatives throughout UF participated in discovery and design sessions, and many more will continue serving on advisory teams to help guide the implementation of Workday for UF. The Empowering UF team also visits colleges and units to share customized outreach sessions.

In an ongoing effort to inform and engage faculty and staff, Empowering UF leaders have presented at more than 40 meetings. From the UF Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate, and Gator Business Administrator Services meetings to roundtables, roadshows and forums, we are sharing the project’s vision, scope, goals and milestones.
