IFAS/CALS TailGATOR 2018 Department/Club Booth Registration

Please indicate if your department or organization plans to participate by Wednesday, Sept. 26.

IFAS/CALS TailGATOR provides an opportunity to showcase your department or organization to CALS students, alumni and friends.

Your interactive display is the main attraction this year as we celebrate the 21th annual TailGATOR through the theme "This is CALS."

The audience will range from prospective and current students to alumni, donors, faculty and staff.

Silent Auction Benefitting the CALS Alumni and Friends Scholarship Endowment

One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit the CALS Alumni and Friends Scholarship Endowment. Scholarships from this endowment may be given to students in any CALS major.
