To Arthur and Sally Hillman, Orlando, Florida, was the ideal city for the couple to put down their roots, raise a family and be part of a strong community. More than 40 years ago, the Hillmans bought a home in the quaint neighborhood of College Park. In this house, the Hillmans raised three children, pursued two successful careers and forged a lasting fondness for the spirit and people of Orlando.
   In 1998, the Hillmans decided to sell their home. Yet they wanted the house that meant so much to them to enrich the community somehow. The couple chose to make a real estate gift to UCF and established the Arthur and Sally Hillman Computer Science Endowment Fund.
   Interestingly enough, Art and Sally Hillman never attended UCF, nor did their children. Art was born and raised in Orlando, as were his children and grandchildren. Sally has lived here since her family moved to Florida from Illinois when she was 11.
   Sally explained, "Living here for so many years, we feel connected to UCF. Our family is here, and we're all part of the same community." Although the Hillmans did not know much about computer science, they knew exactly why they wanted the endowment to be for students in this field.
   "Computers and youth are the cornerstones of the world's future," said Art. "Put the two together, help and foster each, and we have the essence of making t he world a better, safer, healthier place to live. This endowment will not only help some young students achieve their goal by lif ting some of their financial burden but, hopefully, will help UCF continue its s teady march to achieve even more status than it already has as one of the leadin g computer science universities in the world."
