Past 40 Gators Under 40

The UF Alumni Association established the Outstanding Young Alumni (OYA) Award in 2006. In 2019, this recognition evolved into the 40 Gators Under 40 program, which honors outstanding young UF alumni who have made significant achievements before turning 40.

Recipients are selected based on:

• Professional accomplishments and industry impact
• Societal contributions through service and leadership
• Advancement of UF's mission and values

The 40 Gators Under 40/OYA Award recipients are trailblazers, innovators, and leaders who not only excel in their professions but also exemplify UF's tradition of excellence, making a difference in their communities and The Gator Nation®.
