About the Board

The UCF Foundation Board of Directors oversees the stewardship and management of private philanthropic support for the university.

As UCF continues to advance its $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign, Foundation Board members play a critical role in helping shape the university’s future.

Through its standing committees and strategic leadership, the board helps ensure resources are invested effectively to elevate student success, fuel discovery and innovation, advance future frontiers and drive competitive excellence.

The newly appointed directors and committee advisors bring experience across a wide range of industries and disciplines, adding valuable insight to the board’s governance, financial oversight and long-term planning efforts.

Their collective expertise helps ensure UCF remains positioned to meet emerging challenges, seize new opportunities and deliver meaningful impact across Florida and beyond.

“The strength of the UCF Foundation lies in the dedication and leadership of the individuals who choose to invest their time, talent and expertise in our mission,” says Rod Grabowski, senior vice president for advancement & partnerships and CEO of the UCF Foundation. “As we welcome these new directors and advisors, we are grateful for their willingness to serve and help guide UCF’s continued growth and momentum. Their leadership will be instrumental as we advance Go For Launch, UCF’s ambitious campaign to expand opportunity, accelerate discovery and strengthen our impact for generations of students, faculty and communities to come.”

The board also recognized three directors whose second terms conclude June 30: Brian Butler, Cathy Engelman and Clint Bullock ’95.

“Brian, Cathy and Clint have each made meaningful contributions during their years of service,” Grabowski says. “Their leadership, advocacy and commitment to UCF have helped strengthen the foundation and have advanced opportunities for our students, faculty and university community. We are deeply grateful for their service and lasting impact.”
