Media Outreach

Over the years, UCFC has been featured in a number of media outlets. By the numbers, UCFC has been featured twice in the local paper, Orlando Sentinel, four times in the Central Florida Future, the campus paper, three times in Pegasus, the UCF Alumni Magazine, and has also been spotlighted on local Channel 35’s Fox News, NBC WESH 2 News, the PBS show “Growing Bolder”, and the PBS show “SciTech Central” . We have little doubt UCFC will pop up again somewhere soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, peruse some of the articles below featuring UCFC.
