"These renovations create a more welcoming, modern space for our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors, while reflecting our continued commitment to enhancing the campus experience," said Brandi Renton, v-p for business affairs at UF. "We're grateful for our longstanding partnership with Follett and the shared commitment to student success, affordability, and innovation that will continue to shape the bookstore for years to come."
Follett Higher Education CEO Emmanuel Kolady added: "Our longstanding relationship with the University of Florida reflects a shared commitment to delivering an exceptional campus experience and the traditions that make UF unique. The newly renovated bookstore builds on that history, bringing Gator pride to life through an enhanced retail experience that connects the campus community."
