Office Depot established this fund in 2002 to support the annual retailing symposium at the University of Florida’s David F. Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research. “The Retailing Smarter Symposium,” presented by Office Depot and UF, brings together senior retail executives to focus on topics of importance to retailers and has become the largest retail conference in the country hosted by a university. This fund also provides scholarships for students to attend the symposium from UF, Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Florida Atlantic University, among others.
