New book alert! UCF Basketball fans will be familiar with the author of one of our newest autobiographies, Tacko Fall: To New Heights. Great book to read with your kids or younger siblings; it tells the story of Tacko’s early life in Senegal and immigration to America to play basketball. Out of forty colleges vying for his attention, Fall chose University of Central Florida where he helped lead the Knights to the 2019 NCAAS tournament. He qualified for the NBA draft by his sophomore year but chose to finish his degree first in 2019 and was signed by the Boston Celtics after graduation. Get the whole inspiring and fun story from our Curriculum Materials Center in the Education building rm 194.

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.
