You Are Invited to a Community Forum
How would you define community at UCF?
How do you think we build community among people with diverse backgrounds?
Join faculty, community members, and student leaders on Wednesday, February 22
from 3-5 pm in the Fairwinds Alumni Center, as they try to answer these questions.
This forum is a spin off of the exhibit entitled "Connecting the Community:
Maitland and Eatonville," that is on display through March 31 in the UCF
Library.
Community Visions for the 21st Century will use the exhibit’s reflections on the
components of community building and inclusivity as a spring board to discuss and
envision 21st century notions of community in Central Florida.
