Greetings, I am Benjamin Eric Sasse, born on February 22, 1972, in Plainview, Nebraska. Having navigated a path through academia and public service, I now have the privilege of serving as the president of the University of Florida. My journey has taken me through institutions such as Harvard University, St. John's College, and Yale University, shaping my perspective and knowledge. It is an honor to have represented the state of Nebraska as a United States senator and to have contributed to various facets of governance and education along the way.
