Healthy living has always been a part of life for Liz Anthony ’14, M.S. ’15. She came to UT by way of Tennessee to run track and cross country for the Spartans, an experience that taught her the value of hard work and determination. “Learning how to win is just as important as learning how to lose,” says Anthony. “In business, you make so many decisions every day. The most important thing is to keep going and not stand still. Even if you sometimes make a wrong decision, you’re progressing and you had a learning experience.” Once friends and family developed a taste for her good-for-you, homemade snacks, she realized the potential of her recipes. Anthony went on to pursue a master’s in exercise science and nutrition at UT and launched Liz Anthony Nutrition in 2016.

Nikiforides launched Holographic Hippie in September 2017, selling spiritual creations like dreamcatchers, sacred wall hangings and crystal jewelry. Her best-selling items are the protection wall amulets — wall hangings made with the Greek evil eye, black tourmaline crystals and clear quartz crystals. “They are made to protect someone and their home from negative energies,” says Nikiforides, who is Greek and grew up with the protection of the Greek evil eye. A social justice communication course at UT has influenced Nikiforides’s business style today, where the experience of shooting and editing a documentary taught her how to work in a timely manner with an end goal. “This has especially helped me with my plans, creations and updates with my shop,” says Nikiforides.

As a student and graduate academic coach at UT, Latifatu Seini ’15, M.S. ’19 got a kick out of introducing fellow students and colleagues to designs made in her home country of Ghana. Seini regularly wore African print clothing, prompting questions as to where she’d purchased her pieces. “It was evident that most people here were not used to seeing such vibrant colors and designs,” she says. Noticing a gap in the market, she started an authentic African print clothing brand, Flaunt Ankara. Seini, who majored in accounting and also got her master’s in instructional design and technology at UT, notes that her marketing, business management and speech classes, as well as her role as the marketing chair of the United Nations Student Association, boosted her confidence as a business owner.

The idea for the game stemmed from field day-style competitions between the co-founders that involved physical challenges, yard games, trivia and board games. In 2017, Fitterer and his business partners formed an LLC and started developing a game called Sheets & Giggles. It came to fruition after a successful 2019 Kickstarter campaign. A game for mature audiences that’s in the vein of Cards Against Humanity, the game asks players to act out out- rageous words and phrases, occasionally under a sheet. Fitterer, who majored in sport management and minored in business administration, says that his time as the student coordinator of LASER Team (which provides safe rides to students around campus) helped him develop his leadership style. “I believe you can run a business by interjecting fun into each day, and it’s this positive work environment that brings out the best in people,” he says. Work culture remains of paramount importance to Fitterer as he plans to expand his brand with new versions of the game — including a family-friendly one.

“Social media is kind of my thing,” says Lindsey Dickerson ’19 — and that’s an understatement. As an undergrad, the communication and political science double major singlehandedly grew the Instagram presence for the UT College Republicans student organization from 10 followers to nearly 1,000 — in a year. Her commitment to that effort confirmed for Dickerson that Instagram can be a useful platform for sharing bite-sized information in a meaningful way.

It was the fall of 2016, and while volunteer- ing at the Hillary Clinton field office during her presidential campaign, Casey Bauer ’19 couldn’t help but notice a big, red X drawn across the UT campus on a regional map. “What’s up with this?” he questioned the campaign staffers around him. “Students don’t vote,” he was told. “There’s not even a polling location on campus.” Bauer, who was chair of the UT College Democrats, was aghast at the prospect of the entire UT community being overlooked not just for efforts like campaigning, but for initiatives like voter registration. So he stepped up to change things. Armed with clipboards and voter registration forms, Bauer immediately started registering students of all political ideolo- gies. “The question everyone always asked me was, ’Now that I’m registered, where do I go to vote?’” says Bauer. The answer rattled him: Students were assigned to vote at a polling location that was two miles from campus — which may not seem far, but for students without easy access to transportation, it was a hike. “There’s already so many barriers to voting, and the look on students’ faces when I told them where they’d have to go made me Coalition members Ian McGinnity, director of the realize what a big issue this actually was,” Office of Student Leadership and Engagement, says Bauer. student Toni-lee Brown ’22 and alumnus Casey So Bauer organized a shuttle, securing a Bauer ’19 stand in front of the new Election Day van and enough University-insured volun- polling place for on-campus students. teer drivers to make trips on Election Day, to and from the polling place.

The expanded A Local Business Fitness and Recreation Center Amplifies Music will be named at UT after Benson Alex Riseman ’78. The arts play a powerful role throughout Tampa and all across the UT campus. As we move through challenging times, they especially have the power to uplift. The new Ferman Center for the Arts, which is nearing completion, will deliver a bravura performance on this front: It’s a haven where students can express their creativity and enhance their skills. Thanks to one local business, Key Glass, it offers a unique space to master two classical instruments that create deeply inspiring music: the harpsichord and the organ. An innovative, award-winning business based in Bradenton, Key Glass knew the building from the inside out. Keeping Spartans in The company had furnished and installed glass, sunshades and dance mirrors in the (Even Better) Shape new center, but wanted to do more for the campus. “Because of our work onsite and our past involvement with the expansion No doubt, UT’s Fitness and Recreation Center, built in 2016, is a state-of- of UT’s campus,” says Justin Burkhart, the-art hub of activity.

I’m proud to help my alma mater fulfill its commitment to enhancing the body, mind and soul of all who attend.” Riseman, who co-founded Green Dot Corporation (the country’s leading prepaid debit-card company) and lives with his wife, Lee, in Las Vegas, NV, had another motivation for his donation: “I’ve always believed you lead by example, and as co-chair of UT’s Development Committee, I’m focused on finding ways to continue enhancing UT’s financial standing. There is no better way to accomplish this than by contributing myself. The hope is my donation will encourage other donors to step up and commit their time, treasure and talents, as well.”

“UT is about people. It has grown, but its core values remain the same. UT prepares students to handle success, failure and competition in the real world,” says Chris Catanach ’83, women’s volleyball coach, 17-time AVCA Region Coach of the Year and four-time AVCA National Coach of the Year.

Catanach, who has worked at UT since he graduated in 1983, appreciates that 92% of students at the University receive financial aid. He knows that aid and scholarships make students’ dreams a reality. He witnesses the impact a UT education has on students, their gratitude, hard work and the ways they pay it forward. With almost 10,000 students enrolled this fall, the impact that philanthropy has on their lives is immeasurable.

That is the power of education and endowed scholarship gifts. The F. Chris Catanach ’83 and Linda H. Catanach Endowed Scholarship Fund was inspired by this opportunity to change lives. Through endowed scholarship gifts, your impact is infinite.

What matters most at UT? YOU.

Chris Catanach `83 Endowed Scholarship Gifts: Support the Next Generation of Students at UT

Endowments generate annual interest income. The interest provides the funds to support student scholarships. With endowed funds: • The donor’s gift, the principal, is utilized for investment. • Income from UT’s investment of the principal supports scholarship funds for deserving students. • Income also remains in the donor's endowment to be reinvested.

For more information, please visit ut.edu/development-and- university-relations or call (813) 253-6220.
