A Letter from Dr. Ehasz Every year, I look forward to a review of the many accomplishments of the finest staff and students in the Division of Student Development and Enrollment Services (SDES). During this extraordinary time of a pandemic in our midst, civil unrest and injustices across our country, and a national election, I am most proud of the commitment, courage, and compassion that our SDES family showed to each other while focusing our collective attention on student success. SDES is a team dedicated to creating the best student experience for all UCF students. The accomplishments of the last year would not be possible without the commitment, courage, and compassion of everyone — student workers, support staff, graduate assistants, Student Government, psychologists, conduct officers, care case managers, administrative assistants, accountants, mail room clerks, admission recruiters, employee relations specialists, resident assistants, financial aid officers and too many others to name. Thank you for every challenge you took on, problem you solved, conversation you engaged in, phone call you answered, referral you made, late night and weekend you gave, and zoom meeting you participated in for the sake of others. You made a difference in the well-being of our community and helped students stay in school, live ethically, be healthy, and graduate as UCF Knights ready to change the world! This review provides a bookend to my 46-year career in higher education, 26 years at UCF, and 16 years as SDES vice-president. Words cannot fully express my deep, heartfelt gratitude for the people with whom I had the opportunity to share experiences, laugh and cry together, and “reach for the stars.” It is my hope that UCF is a better place than I “found” it and just as I believe that “the student who comes to UCF is not the same person who graduates from UCF”, I leave as a more enriched and better person than when I came here. “Once a Knight Always A Knight” — Go Knights — CHARGE ON!
Maribeth Ehasz, Ph.D. Vice President for Student Development and Enrollment Services

COVID-19, starting in March 2020, had a major impact on our division in the final quarter of this year in review. Everyone in SDES made strategic adjustments to accommodate the university’s move towards virtual and continued to support our students. The next few pages are a small picture of the SDES response…
Career Services • Career Services virtual workshops, employer information sessions, and other career programs had 2,907 participants summer 2020, and 10,452 participants fall 2020. • UCF Career Services introduced Hiring Hours as a new, innovative way to engage students and employers. • Through Reddit, Career Services was able to reach a population of students who are initially hesitant to either connect with us or have little knowledge of what the department does. • In Fall 2020, Career Services staff had individual appointments with 869 students and alumni.
Counseling and Psychological Services

Remote services included phone consultations and sessions via Therapy Assistance Online (TAO) Zoom platform with audioconference and videoconferencing options.

HOUSING AND RESIDENCE LIFE
In March 2020, Housing and Residence Life (DHRL) managed a campus-wide effort to support 7,485 residents as they depopulated the residence halls including implementing access restrictions to ensure security of residents’ belongings until retrieved; creating a process for residents to safely retrieve belongings in May and June or have belongings packed and shipped or stored; and supporting 504 students permitted to live on campus during the pandemic due to extenuating circumstances. After rooms were emptied, DHRL and Facilities Operations cleaned and sanitized all rooms and common areas for fall move-in. • Overall satisfaction with the UCF move-out experience was very high with residents and parents/guardians expressing 92.9% satisfaction in spring 2020 (n=257) KNIGHT’S PANTRY
• The Pantry stayed open throughout the campus period of remote learning without any gap in service, providing to-go bags to Knights in need through the efforts of our student leadership and student staff. • Over 3,000 to-go bags were distributed from March–December 2020. • The Pantry also provided bag service to students that were quarantined/isolated in Housing throughout the fall semester.

The Downtown Student Services team has had a game-changing year with the opening of a campus that has already become a national model. When the UCF Downtown Campus opened on August 26th, 2019, Student Affairs launched an innovative inter-departmental partnership that included the following areas: First Stop, Student Success, Student Engagement, Well-Being, and UnionWest at Creative Village Student Housing. Through the challenges of ongoing campus construction, a hurricane, and a pandemic, the Downtown Student Services team never lost sight of their mission: to serve current and prospective students and represent UCF’s vision for the downtown campus of increasing access to higher education for those who live and work in downtown Orlando. With the successful implementation of an integrated and coordinated care network that includes over 20 departments from UCF and Valencia College, who came together to serve over 30,000 duplicated contacts during the fall launch semester, we are excited about the impact we have made and the opportunities to come. The Downtown Student Services team is excited and grateful to be recognized as the SDES Team of the Year, the Outstanding Collaborative Effort Award with Valencia College, and the City of Orlando’s Golden Brick Award of Excellence.
