ALUMNI PROFILE:

Lalita Booth

From Homeless to Harvard 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.

L ive the R ight L ife : L i ve t h e K n i g h t L i f e In the Middle Ages, a Knight was an elite warrior sworn to uphold the values of faith, loyalty, courage and honor. Over hundreds of years, those values carried forth, which is why today every UCF student is known as a Knight.

Our students consistently uphold these merits. They achieve top academic honors, as well as uphold loyalty and honor.

Life is Good Here

Earning your college degree will be your ultimate goal during the next few years. But college life is about more than books and studying. It’s about being independent and developing your interests. We have an endless supply of amenities and activities to keep you stimulated when you’re not hitting the books.

Catch a basketball game or concert at the arena.

Whether you live in one of our on-campus suites or a nearby off-campus apartment, you’re never more than a short walk or shuttle ride from all the action.

Got food on the brain?

Grab a sandwich on the go from Subway, Jimmy John’s, Chick-fil-A or one of numerous other convenient eateries on campus. Try the all-you-can-eat dining at Knightro’s or catch a game and a burger at Wackadoo’s or Tailgaters.

Itching to get off campus? Satisfy your taste buds at a never-ending selection of area restaurants, many of which are located within one mile of campus.

Want to save gas money?

Hop on one of our free shuttles, which pick up and drop off at several university-affiliated apartments off campus, all on-campus residencies, throughout the main campus and Research Park, and in and around Orlando.

Go green.

Use pedal power—and don’t worry about parking, we have 6,500 bike spaces.

10

Meeting friends between classes?

Head over to the Student Union, where you can grab a coffee or smoothie; chow down on a slice of pizza, a Philly cheese steak or a soft pretzel; shop for computers or even eyeglasses; study in one of the lounges; or use the computer lab—all in the heart of campus.

Want to be healthy?

Take advantage of our 85,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center, where you can climb a three-story rock climbing tower, run on the indoor track and test your endurance on a variety of cardio and weight machines.

The center also offers dietary guidance and stress management seminars, among many other services.

Determined to make straight A’s?

We’ve got numerous academic resources to help you along your journey. Need help choosing a major or optimizing your course load? Your own personal advisor awaits.

A free shuttle bus connects the campus to university-affiliated housing, so you are only a few minutes away from all the activities.

For more information about living at UCF, visit www.housing.ucf.edu.

Busy Knights Whether you’re a serious scholar, a social butterfly, a dedicated volunteer or a combination of all three, there’s a group at UCF that’s just right for you. Like chocolate?

We’ve got a club for that. Like heavy metal?

We’ve got a club for that too. In fact, we have a club or organization for just about anything you can think of, be it history, philanthropy or even whitewater rafting. You’ve got loads of options—hundreds of them, actually. Ready to get involved?

ALUMNI PROFILE:

Richard Cravens Black & Gold and Blue Man

A lot of my fun memories at UCF came from being in the band. And after years of performing as a drummer—from UCF’s marching band to theme parks—Richard is using his psychology degree and his music skills to make a career out of entertaining others. As a performer in Orlando’s Blue Man Group, Richard brings high energy and improvisation to the stage every night. We have to be quick to react, especially when one of the guys does something we’ve never seen before. Richard may come back to UCF someday to use his degree and apply his performing skills as a teacher. I think it would be cool to come into a class and just lecture utilizing my practical applications.

Location, Location, Location Sure, you know about Disney, Universal and SeaWorld. But did you know Central Florida has nearly a hundred theme parks and attractions?

There’s also more than 5,000 restaurants and an array of beautiful beaches just a short drive away, making this area one of the top vacation destinations in the world.

As a UCF student, you can take advantage of all this and more year-round. And, you’ll never have to put on snow boots for any of it. In fact, our weather is so mild, you can usually wear shorts on Thanksgiving day. And, it makes for a perfect day of studying on the green or by the Reflecting Pond.

Orlando is not just theme parks. Our area has seen rapid growth and economic expansion in recent years and is a center for the life sciences, medical innovation and technological developments. That’s why in 2008, 57 percent of our alumni stayed in Central Florida to start their careers. More and more, Central Florida is becoming a Knight nation.

It’s a great place to live, work and play.

Will you be its next permanent resident?

Medicine med.ucf.edu

History-making. Groundbreaking. A national model for medical education. These are just a few of the things people across the nation are saying about the UCF College of Medicine.

Determined to recruit the best opening class, the college asked the community for financial support—and was able to offer the first 41 students full four-year scholarships.

Debt-free doctors turned out to be a great idea, and more than 4,300 students applied for 41 openings for Fall 2009. And the scholarship idea caught the attention of national media outlets like NBC. But the college isn’t just about training doctors.

It’s about research too. The Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences is nationally known for its innovative research on everything from anthrax to diabetes and breast cancer.

The new College of Medicine is nestled within the medical city at Lake Nona in Orlando and will partner with Nemours Children’s Hospital, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and the Burnham Institute for Medical Research.

Brandie Hollinger Caring for Future Generations

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—one of the top children’s hospitals in the country—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. Brandie learned leadership skills at UCF that she says have been crucial to her success with the children she treats and their families. As a student, you always had someone to fall back on, now it’s your responsibility. Already a leader of her peers, she’s taking on the greatest responsibility of all: her generations. future

College of Sciences students have worked on archeological digs in Belize, surveyed giant sea turtles as they nest along nearby beaches, or worked out a difficult mathematical equation—in college and in their careers.

As the largest college at UCF, the College of Sciences offers undergraduate degree programs that range from anthropology to chemistry to political science. Students learn in and out of the lab through classroom lectures, lab sessions, studio work and on-site observations.

After graduating with a TV/Radio degree, Cheryl Hines worked several jobs before her big break on the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm. She credits her education with getting her started. I learned how to edit here at UCF. Without my education I would have been lost. And there is still so much more in her future.

The UCF Knights women’s basketball team and the men’s golf team captured two Conference USA Championships in 2009. UCF is also the home of an All-Conference USA women’s golfer as well as the Conference USA Player of the Year for our men’s basketball team.
