Florida Blue Key has undergone significant positive changes over the past few years. Homecoming has added many newand exciting events while Gator Growl has again become the crown jewel of Homecoming weekend. The Blue Key Speech & Debate Tournament annually brings over 1,200 of the nations top high school students to Gainesville to compete in one of the most highly regarded speech & debate tournaments in the country. We have also established Florida Blue Key alumni chapters throughout the state and southeast to help re-engage and reconnect our active members with our vital alumni support system to strengthen Florida Blue Key.
With the help and dedication of many alumni we have also created The O'Connell Society, Inc. in honor of Florida Supreme Court Justice, UF President, and Florida Blue Key President Stephen C. O'Connell. The society is an endowment fund aimed at funding various leadership activities and promoting new innovative programming for active members. All the while ensuring the financial stability of Florida Blue Key and its continued prominence in Florida as our state's oldest and most prestigious leadership honorary.
We invite you to explore The O'Connell Society website. The O'Connell Society website presents alumni with the many ways in which you can become involved to ensure the future of Florida Blue Key.
