In high school, Bruce J. Rogow (B.S., Civil Engineering \u201867) received student leadership recognition at a luncheon at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach. Rogow had the opportunity to sit next to keynote speaker, General Douglas MacArthur, and accept advice that he\u2019d live by throughout his collegiate and professional career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFind and go to Camelot. Be a part of Camelot. Camelots are where the world will pivot or change,\u201d Rogow recalled. \u201cThat is what I learned in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogow describes Camelot as getting involved in any role in a project, person, or idea that will blossom into something groundbreaking and important in society. He learned what that really entailed in a vast array of extracurricular activities at UF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From starting as an IBM systems engineer, to becoming a Principal at a groundbreaking Harvard Business School spinoff consultancy, to being EVP and Head of Research at Gartner, Rogow continued to embark on finding his next Camelot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had to learn quickly to survive, compete with very talented, well-educated people, and develop a level of confidence,\u201d Rogow said. \u201cI went from learning to leading and communicating with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Bruce J. Rogow and his wife, Winnie, are known for their philanthropic donations to the Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment (ESSIE).<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWe planned to donate in our wills. One day my wife said, \u2018Why don\u2019t we start while we\u2019re still here to see what impact it may have,\u2019\u201d Rogow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains that the donations are a display of appreciation for the progress and success of faculty and students. As a result, ESSIE students have been employed to serve as classroom and laboratory assistants to College faculty members through the Bruce J. and Winnie Rogow Undergraduate Scholars Fund. Their contributions focus on building communication and leadership skills in today\u2019s students, which Bruce found so crucial to his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among advising students to get involved in extracurricular activities and to take courses outside of their comfort zone, Rogow wants students to take the advice he learned years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
