D.K. Stanley Day is held annually by the University of Florida College of Health & Human Performance. It was established in 1986 as a memorial to Dennis Keith “Dutch” Stanley, the first dean of the college, in recognition of his many contributions to the professions of physical education, health education and recreation.
The event is made possible through the generous support of the Frederick Family Endowment. See a list of past speakers.
The day's events will all take place on the historic "Alligator Ally" basketball court (Florida Gym, Room 105).
