University of Florida to open Capitol Hill home after Ballard gift
Original: UF to open D.C. home just steps from Capitol Hill after Brian Ballard gift
The University of Florida will open a new Washington, D.C. residence just steps from Capitol Hill, funded by a gift from prominent lobbyist and UF alum Brian Ballard. The space is intended to give the university a permanent presence in the capital for advocacy, alumni events and engagement with federal policymakers as major public universities expand their D.C. footprints.
Why now: A significant donor gift giving a flagship public university a high-profile presence near Congress draws attention to the growing role of lobbying and fundraising in higher education.
