At the UF College of Health & Human Performance (HHP), we’re excited to welcome new Gators to the college. This fall, the college enrolled a record number of students – 348 more students than this time last year and an increase of 14 percent, the largest percentage increase across campus. Total college enrollment is now at 2,804 students.

In addition to welcoming new students, we also welcomed new faculty across all four departments.
