University of Florida Family Guide
On behalf of the University of Florida, I want to extend a warm welcome to you and your family. You should be enormously proud that the son or daughter you guided from kindergarten through high school has joined our newest Gator class.
As a father of three, I understand and appreciate your hopes for your child – and your expectations that he or she will have an enriching and memorable college experience. I want to assure you; we will do all we can to make that happen.
