As the final year of my term as president of the Alumni Board of Governors winds down, I am so pleased to look back on the many exciting events and happy gatherings of Oiler alumni!

Along with enjoying fellowship and sharing memories, it’s also inspiring to me how many alums are committed to supporting this next generation of Oilers.

Please know how much your involvement – whether that is speaking on campus, mentoring new UF graduates, or making a financial gift – makes a lasting impact on students. And if you’re interested in being more involved on campus, please contact the Wolfe Center for Alumni, Parents, & Friends and we’ll connect you!

Remember to check out the UF calendar of events for plenty of summer fun, too.

Looking forward to seeing you at Homecoming, if not before!
