The 2017 University of Central Florida Alumni 30 under 30 class has been announced. These young professionals were chosen due to their outstanding contributions to the community and UCF alike. These alumni still live their lives by the UCF creed and exemplify excellence in either professional success, community involvement or university impact.<\/p>\n

The 30 Under 30 program is meant to celebrate and embrace the largest alumni constituent base and connect them with the community. The winners of the award will be recognized formally in a ceremony in August.<\/p>\n

This year 10 of the 30 alumni in this year\u2019s class are graduates from the College of Sciences. Congratulations to this incredible group of young professionals. Charge on!<\/p>\n
