Abstract
This interview, conducted on June 19, 2025, captures the remarkable life and career of Bino Campanini, a celebrated alumnus and former administrator at the Florida Institute of Technology. Recruited from the Jersey Channel Islands, Campanini arrived in 1986 and became a cornerstone of the university’s legendary men's soccer program, helping lead the team to two national championships. He reflects on his student experience, highlighting the profound influence of humanities professors like Rudy Stoeckel and Bob Shearer, who shaped his worldview beyond the soccer pitch. After a distinguished 17-year career in the private sector with his coach and mentor, Rick Stotler, Campanini returned to Florida Tech, first as a trustee and then for 12 years as a senior administrator. In this role, he was instrumental in championing diversity and inclusion, establishing key campus traditions like the Julius Montgomery Pioneer Award and the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. The interview also touches on his close family ties, enduring friendships, and his courageous, life-affirming response to a recent serious health diagnosis.
