When did you become a Florida Gator?
 |
Dean Christopher Silver |
As the new school year begins and with the opening of football season just days away, we find ourselves reminiscing about our days on campus as a student or of the times in the Swamp watching history unfold on Florida Field. Dean Christopher Silver shares his memory of becoming a Gator as part of the "When did you become a Florida Gator" campaign.
We asked Buddy Jacobs, chair of the DCP Florida Tomorrow Campaign Council and former UF student body president, when he became a Gator:
"In 1960, when I was in high school. I was elected president of the Florida Youth Workshop, which was a gathering of all high school student council presidents from across the state. There I made many lifelong friends and met Dr. J. Wayne Reitz. I loved that he used to say that 'UF is a place that is wonderfully stirred up.' I was admitted to UF in 1961."

As we kick off the new academic year, we'd like to thank the members of the DCP Florida Tomorrow Campaign Council for their dedicated efforts toward reaching our campaign goal. To date, DCP has raised $10.2 million.
The Florida Tomorrow Campaign is the campaign for the University of Florida. Through the efforts of the DCP council and with the support of DCP alumni and friends, the College of Design, Construction and Planning is building a place where educators and students work to envision, design, create and preserve renewable and affordable communities.
