Foundation Fellows

The UWF Foundation Fellows are individuals nominated by the Foundation Board of Directors and confirmed by the President of the University.


The Foundation Fellows honor is extended to persons of merit and distinction based on both service and support of the Foundation Board and University. This distinguished group may be consulted, individually or collectively, by the President of the University of West Florida, President of the Foundation, or the Board of Directors on matters or University objectives. They may also serve as ambassadors for the Foundation at University and community events.
