Danae N. Perry received the Compliance and Ethics Superstar Award on 10/21/24. Danae leads dynamic youth programming year-round exposing many families to the Gator Nation. The Student Science Training Program (SSTP) is a stand-out youth activity which is a seven-week residential summer camp geared toward youth seeking careers in science, medicine, math, computer science, or engineering. SSTP is very robust, but Danae gracefully leads and manages the demanding youth activity. Danae demonstrates youth compliance prior to camp and post camp. No matter the time-of-day Danae is responsive and constantly working with compliance partners throughout campus. This was especially true this summer when Danae complied with multiple compliance groups providing crucial time sensitive information. Thank you for the tremendous effort you put into youth programming!
Congratulations Danae!
