Our Mission
The University of Florida Association of LGBTQ+ Alumni is an affiliate of the University of Florida Alumni Association (UFAA) and is dedicated to supporting and connecting UF’s alumni and students, who may identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and beyond (LGBTQ+), and their allies. As proud members of The Gator Nation, we are committed to service and excellence while promoting inclusivity, diversity and belonging by creating a sense of community for all alumni, current and future students, faculty, staff and friends of Gators everywhere.
Our Vision
We will be the driving force to connect and strengthen membership of LGBTQ+ alumni worldwide to the greater UF community through service, charity, networking and social events.
We seek to advance current and future Gators, who support and enhance the LGBTQ+ community and its ideals, by developing and administering scholarship, mentoring and other supportive programs.
As ambassadors to the university, we will embody the spirit of our alma mater and represent the orange and blue with honor, PRIDE, dignity, and compassion while bolstering the university’s brand and supporting its initiatives.
Our Goal
As an organization, we strive to bring our community together in unique, engaging ways in an effort to build each other and support the future LGBTQ+ University of Florida alumni and their endeavors into the real world. We accomplish this by raising money and creating a scholarship fund to disperse to deserving students during the Fall and/or Spring semester(s).
