Brian Biada, Senior

Major: Sustainable Development

GPA: 3.9

Brian has epitomized SigEp’s “Sound Mind, Sound Body” principles during his time at UF. As a scholar-athlete and a member of the varsity football team, he has maintained a near perfect academic resume while dedicating 20-30 hours a week to football. In his senior year Brian has been able to enroll in graduate-level courses while completing his undergraduate degree. Brian is quick to credit SigEp for instilling the crucial time-management skills, work-ethic and diligence needed to accomplish all that he has.

Jonathan Tarich, Junior

Major: Biology (Pre-Med)
GPA: 3.7

Jonathan is a highly involved member of his community. He has been a consistent volunteer at the Florida Diabetes Camp over the past two years. Jonathan has also had an active role in SigEp’s premier philanthropy, SigEp Surf Frenzy, which raises over $30,000/year for the Florida Diabetes Camp. As a member of Florida Blue Key, Jonathan is directing the Health Professions Day event, where UF’s undergraduate pre-health students learn how to gain an edge in the application process for health professional schools. In an effort to include more of the Gainesville youth community, Jonathan added a new element to the Health Professions Day this year, Doctor for a Day, where local kids are able to shadow a doctor. By inviting elementary aged students to participate in this program, he hopes to motivate them to focus more on science and math in their education.
