ELEVATE had an amazing week! We were fortunate to bring some of our students out to the first UCF game of the season, where the Knights took down BCU. Our students had the opportunity to tailgate before the game, walk around campus, experience the game-day atmosphere, and truly take advantage of everything the fan experience had to offer. They thoroughly enjoyed every moment! What makes experiences like this even more special is that a couple of our students are now interested in attending UCF because of the exposure they received. This is why we love creating these opportunities for our students. Giving them experiences, exposing them to college campuses, and allowing them to envision themselves in these spaces is what it’s all about. It was an amazing experience, and we can’t wait for the next one! IT’S GREAT TO BE A GRENADIER! |
