Florida Forward

This event is a time for meeting, learning, and celebrating with Gators from across the country. Hosted by the UF Alumni Association each year, Florida Forward offers professional development training and information on how to stay connected to the University of Florida.

Gator Nation Tailgates

Join the UF Alumni Association as we cheer on the Gators three hours before each home game. Conveniently located at Emerson Alumni Hall across the street from The Swamp, these tailgates are the perfect place to meet with the Gator Nation before seeing our team face off against our rivals.
