Duty, Distinction and Direction

Join us at the University of West Florida Conference Center on October 29, 2026, for the Leaders in Service Summit — a day dedicated to strengthening the leaders who serve our community.

The inaugural Leaders in Service Summit brings together professionals committed to serving their communities with integrity, courage and purpose. Designed for leaders across law enforcement, fire, military and related public service professions, this one-day experience will offer meaningful conversations, practical insight and opportunities to build connections that strengthen leadership and service.

Let's Fight Crime Together

Welcome to the University of West Florida. Because university campuses are reflective of the communities they serve, they are not immune to societal problems that may foster an atmosphere conducive to crime. The University has taken specific measures to ensure that you enjoy the safest possible living and learning environment. We encourage you to take an active role in making the University community safe.

Safety programs and mechanical alarm systems cannot be fully effective against crime without the cooperation of the citizens they are designed to protect. Alertness, common-sense precautions, and concern for fellow students, faculty, and employees are keys to preventing crime and helping us ensure that experiences at UWF are positive and enjoyable.
