Gators Galore

TI boasts more than 200 Gators among its ranks throughout the U.S.

How TI Shows the Love

Each year, TI hosts a UF Gator Day in Dallas, and sends a team of recruiters to UF’s job fair in Gainesville.

What TI Gators Say

“It is clear the Gator Nation is well represented at TI. Walking down the hallways I can always see a flag or a fellow alum saying, ‘Go Gators!’ Also, the number of Gator license plates in the parking lot is amazing.” - Rob Taylor (BSEE ’02, MS ’04), manager of Power Design Services, Industrial and Personal Electronics, and a UF Alumni Association Board of Directors member.

Gator pride isn’t hard to find, even in the TI headquarters in Dallas. Check out Rob Taylor’s office, complete with UF border and athletics posters.

Why UF?

“We like hiring UF graduates because of their diversity of thought, critical thinking skills and problem-solving capabilities. Those skills are assets at TI and reflect our company’s culture. We are building semiconductors for a rapidly changing world, and our ability to continue developing innovative solutions will define our future success. Together with Gators, we are redefining what is possible.” - Steve Lambouses, vice president and general manager of the High Voltage Power Business Unit
