  1. Welcome University of Central Florida

  2. UCF Arena

  3. Inspiring Excellence RYAN RUST: Mechanical Engineering Imagine 250,000 people (and growing) in 24 countries working together to send care packages to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ryan Rust’s organization “Adopt a Hero” connects the generous with those far from home. I’ve always lived by the saying: If not you, then who? As an accomplished race car driver, he has won 90 races. For me, racing comes down to fun, but it also the competition of it all.

  4. Jay Bergman Field

  5. College of Medicine

  6. Inspiring Excellence JENNIFER RAYNOR: Forensic Science Jennifer Raynor is learning to collect and analyze evidence from crime scenes – and to catch criminals. But she is also using science to make an impact in her community. She has volunteered at the Orlando Science Center and at Health Central Hospital. You really have to want to help. You also have to respect the science. UCF’s program has given her confidence in her skills, too. It gave me the confidence to apply to any grad school or any lab job I want. I know I’m qualified.

  7. Harris Engineering Center

  8. Inspiring Excellence BRANDIE HOLLINGER: Nursing As UCF’s first female Student Government Association president, Brandie Hollinger knows a thing or two about being a communicator and advocate. And as a pediatric nurse at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, she uses those skills to provide the best care to her patients. The rigorous academics and hours spent in the hospital working directly with patients really prepared me for the job. Already a leader of her peers, she’s now taking on the greatest responsibility of all: future generations.

  9. Knightro’s Dining Hall

  10. Office of Undergraduate Admissions

  11. Inspiring Excellence DR. BILL FISHER: Darden Eminent Scholar in Restaurant Management The plan is simple. Build a state-of-the-art college in the world’s most famous tourist destination for the world’s largest industry. I’ve seen schools across the U.S. and nothing compares to the Rosen College of Hospitality Management. As a professor, Bill is also past President of both the National Restaurant Association and the American Hotel and Lodging Association. Employers see it too. Typically, each graduate receives several job offers. Our industry partners know they have been taught by the best faculty in the business.

  12. Recreation and Wellness Center

  13. UCF Arena

  14. Inspiring Excellence LALITA BOOTH: Accounting and Finance As a Truman Scholar, Lalita Booth is an example of hard work and dedication. But as a former homeless mother, she is something much greater – an example of the resilience of the human spirit. Things that are worth achieving are unreasonable. Set unreasonable goals and pursue them unreasonably. Her unreasonable goals have led to a Harvard dream, a stable home for her son, and the start of her nonprofit, Lighthouse for Dreams.

  15. UCF Health Center and Pharmacy

  16. UCF Library

  17. Inspiring Excellence DREW HAMPTON: Burnett Honors College A National Merit Scholar and psychology major, Drew Hampton knows progress when he sees it. The opportunities available in the Burnett Honors College demonstrate the university’s commitment to being a top-notch research institution. Taking advantage of UCF’s atmosphere of opportunity, Drew conducts research on the interaction between humans and machines. He’s also planning for his future. It’s great how willing the professors are to help prepare me for graduate school.

  18. Rosen College of Hospitality Management

  19. School of Performing Arts

  20. Inspiring Excellence HYE JUNG KIM: Mathematics Education Being at UCF is exciting. There are so many organizations to get involved with. But Hye Jung Kim’s experiences aren’t just fun and games. She volunteers for Give Kids the World, an organization which helps terminally ill children visit Orlando. Looking ahead? Hye loves kids, mentors students and wants to be a math teacher. Math needs strong teachers to make it fun. And knowing Hye, we’re sure she’s perfect for the job.

  21. Memory Mall

  22. Morgridge International Reading Center

  23. Inspiring Excellence DR. DIANE CHASE: Pegasus Professor, Dept. of Anthropology For more than 25 years, Dr. Diane Chase has been bringing students to Caracol, Belize to discover clues about the past. UCF is a place where students can do fieldwork. They’re part of a project. But archeology isn’t just about digging up history; it’s also about discovering student potential. For Dr. Chase, a hands on education is they key. Learning to problem-solve, to work in teams and how to do interdisciplinary work are the skills of the future.
