On June 14-16, the DCP Communications Team, the Development Team and the Rinker School’s Dr. Raymond Issa traveled to South Florida to meet and film DCP alumni and attend the South Florida Rinker Alumni Fishing Tournament.
The interviews with Rinker alums from the Southern family, landscape architecture alum Mike Kroll and urban and regional planning alums Jerry Bell and Howard Nelson focused on tradition and legacy as well as career paths and advice for current and potential DCP students.
Thanks to Baker Concrete for providing breakfast, lunch and space for the video shoot and to UF Coral Gables office for hosting our video shoot as well. And THANK YOU to the Rinker School alumni who organized and raised more than $65,000 for the school during the fishing tournament.
