Did You Know?

The Believe campaign needs your support. Please give today.

Did you know that the College of Sciences has donated just $18k toward this year's Believe campaign? As the largest college in the university, we must do more. Low departmental participation rates means there is ample opportunity for us to sow into UCF's future. When you step up and show your support with a gift to the Believe Campaign, you set an example for others, demonstrating that we are united in a common goal: making UCF the best it can be, now and in the future. You can give to the Believe campaign online, right now by clicking the button below. Now you know.

Thank You, from
Dr. Boyd Lindsley

"So many of you have written emails, called, sent texts, written cards and some of you have done all of the above. It’s important to me that you know how much I appreciate every effort and wishing of peace and comfort you have made for me, ‘Gram’, and my family. All of it really helps during this time and I appreciate every piece of it.

Services will be held on a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to St. Francis Roman Catholic Church rectory, 97 Schoolhouse Hill Road, Box 672, Jeffersonville, NY 12748."
