Business Services celebrates IT manager Michael Ahlers, one of the Business Affairs recipients of the 2019 Superior Accomplishment Awards. Mr. Ahlers and his team work tirelessly to ensure the University continues to run smoothly. Mr. Ahlers not only excels in the work environment, but also motivates his colleagues to exceed expectations.

Mr. Ahlers’ contributions to the Gator Too project, a program offering family membership via the UF Alumni Association, helped increase family involvement during Preview sessions. He not only worked on the sign-up process for family members, but also the data-sharing, accounting and overall service. Mr. Ahlers also worked with the Alumni Association and the UF Bookstore on the “My Gift. Our Legacy.” project, where he built the infrastructure resulting in a two percentage point increase in Alumni Participation Rate.

Along with his recognition in the Business Affairs Division of the Superior Accomplishment Awards, Mr. Ahlers is nominated for the SAA at the university level. We thank him for his hard work and are looking forward to what Mr. Ahlers has next for the Gator Nation.
