Richard D. Santangelo (BSMME '72)
President and CEO
Apollo Engineering Solutions
Lorton, VA

"I'm a Gator supporter. My blood runs orange and blue! It [UF] basically gave me the skill sets and the training to do what I'm doing now. [As a mentor], I want to share my experience with young people to help them develop fulfilling careers."


Tarah L. Benefield (BAE '13)
Kindergarten teacher
Orlando, FL

"I signed up (to be a Life Member) because UF has been my home for the past four years, and I want to stay connected. Hopefully, someday soon I will buy season tickets and attend games on the other (shadier) side of The Swamp. Being a Gator means school pride and being a part of the best university in the state of Florida and the country - and lots of great SEC football! Being a part of The Gator Nation is exciting because The Gator Nation® is everywhere."


Jose Alvarez (BSISE '94)
Director of Purchasing,
Warehousing and Logistics
Disney Cruise Line
Orlando, FL

"The University of Florida, specifically the industrial engineering department, developed my skill set and provided many of the tools I use to be successful in my career. I recognize the significant impact UF had in my life. I became a life member of the UF Alumni Association to the next generation of professionals and with the hope that my three sons follow my path to Gainesville!"
