Hello, everyone! My name is Sofia Arias, a senior graduating with my bachelor’s in history this semester at UCF. This Fall 2024 semester I was able to join the University of Central Florida’s Special Collection & University Archives (SCUA) team as the processing intern.

The John C. Hitt Library has everything you need to produce work and content that reflects the technology of today: from high-quality equipment to entire spaces and librarians dedicated to helping you succeed.

The library’s Production Studio is a do-it-yourself, innovative space designed to give you all of the tools you’ll need to create professional videos and images for your use. Read below to learn about how you can make use of the space!

Looking for a quiet place to study? We have transitioned the 1st Floor of the John C. Hitt Library into a place for quiet study and more focused work. Please limit your noise levels while on this floor to whispered conversations and keep phones on silent. Food and drink is still allowed, and we appreciate you being mindful of others and making the space into a great space for study. Keep in mind, when you enter the John C. Hitt Library you are on the 2nd floor and you may take the elevators or stairs down to reach the 1st floor. This change will be in effect until further notice.

UCF Homecoming is a week full of exciting events leading up to the Homecoming football game. It’s a chance for students to celebrate all that it means to be a UCF Knight and Spirit Splash is a tradition that the UCF has embraced since the 90’s!
