Students and alumni of the M.S. in Sport Management program have access to GatorToGator, a social networking site that allows members of the UF sport management community to connect, communicate, and expand their professional network. There are 1600 members in the GatorToGator community including students, alumni, industry professionals and companies.
GatorToGator members have access to a news feed, job opportunities, and member groups like Director of Racquet Sports, Gators Sports Management Organization, and International Gators. Each group organizes its own events, networking opportunities, industry updates, and job listing. Most of the events are based in Florida, but online students are encouraged to participate.
