Honoring the Lastinger Commitment

We founded the UF Lastinger Center for Learning because we believe education is the foundation of a thriving society. Helping teachers teach and students learn is how we build a better future for all of us. Our vision was to play an active role in supporting an education system that opens doors for every child and is led by respected, well-supported educators whose impact is understood and celebrated.

The Center is a reflection of our hope. It’s a place where innovation meets need, and every learner is set on a path toward lifelong success.
