In the first in-person ceremony in over two years, Gator Nurse Pascale Bélony (BSN 2018) was named to the 40 Gators Under 40 by the UF Alumni Association this spring. Bélony was recognized as the 2022 honoree by both the College of Nursing and the College of Health and Human Performance, where she received her first undergraduate degree in Health, Education and Behavior.

Bélony, who is a native of Haiti, has made headlines recently for her participation in the 2021 Miss Universe competition. A founding board member of P4H Global, a nonprofit organization, she is passionate about health education and advocacy. She also serves as a health education consultant for Hope for Haiti and an ambassador for MamaBaby Haiti.

Leaders in their profession and community, 40 Gators Under 40 recipients possess an unmistakable tradition of achievement and a commitment to strengthening the Gator Nation. The ceremony in April recognized recipients from 2020, 2021 and 2022.
