After more than 17 years connecting the University of Florida with the broader community in Gainesville and around the state, UF Assistant Vice President for Community Relations Susan Crowley is retiring in January 2024.
Crowley is most well-known for organizing the university's Eye Opener Discovery Breakfasts, which connect the Gainesville community to various university speakers, as well as Gators Volunteer, a digital hub that helps UF students, faculty and staff find volunteer opportunities. She has served as the university's long-time liaison with local chambers of commerce and governments and heads the UF Campaign for Charities, which consistently raises a million dollars annually for organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida, Florida Wildlife Care, and the Lupus Foundation of America.
