Half of her time will be devoted to duties associated with enrollment management in the Provost’s Office where she will provide campus-wide leadership in developing and advancing UF’s recruitment, enrollment and graduation goals. A top priority of Dr. Evans’ job will be to improve the graduation rate of UF students. As part of that goal, she will work towards improving the management of the universal tracking program.
