History
This fund was established in 2008 by Cappy Archibald Longstreth to support graduate students studying geriatric psychiatric care at the University of Florida College of Nursing. Cappy earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Florida State University in 1960, a master’s degree in guidance and counseling in 1963 and a doctorate in administration in 1973, both from the University of Miami.
Cappy is the daughter of Florida’s St. Petersburg General Hospital pioneer residents, Alex and Mary Frances Archibald. She was a physical education teacher in Dade County, FL, from 1960 to 1966, and an administrator with Collier County Schools until 1971. Cappy joined UF’s faculty in 1973 as an assistant professor. She served in a variety of positions, including special assistant to the president for faculty relations, director of faculty relations and associate vice president for the Office of Academic Affairs, before retiring from UF in 1999.
