The Gator Nation

The Office of University Relations is currently focused on the development and implementation of a new communications campaign designed to highlight the accomplishments and successes of the University of Florida. The Gator Nation Campaign is being introduced in September 2005 and will be ongoing.

Incorporating a shared Gator Nation graphic identity will increase the quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our communications efforts -- and build reputation. It will better reflect the broad range of our academic offerings - indicating that the many benefits of the University of Florida clearly come from one unified institution. This campaign will also foster an even stronger sense of affiliation with the University's many academic and administrative units.

A Gator


Institutional Spot
A Gator is anyone whose love for the University of Florida forever draws them to the university and to their fellow Gators. A Gator is more than a loyal alumnus or enthusiastic sports-team supporter. A Gator is somehow personally defined by his or her connection or bond to the University of Florida. Gators seek each other out. Gators support and encourage each other in success and stand together through adversity. Gators are proud to be part of The Gator Nation.
