Biographical/Historical Note
In 1988 the University of Central Florida celebrated its 25th
anniversary, dated from 1963 when the university was created by the Florida
legislature. The anniversary was celebrated throughout the year with multiple
events culminating in a Gala Ball in November. Almost every event associated
with the university that year was tied into the 25th anniversary celebration.
Many different groups worked together to plan the events, most notably
University Relations, the UCF Foundation, the UCF Town and Gown Council , and
the Alumni Association. In addition to the Gala Ball, events included a
reenactment of the original groundbreaking ceremony, a concert series, and the
World's Largest Class Reunion.
Collection Scope and Content
This collection is divided into two series: Planning Files and Event
Files. The second series is broken down into three subseries: Gala Ball,
Groundbreaking, and Other Events. All files are arranged alphabetically within
