ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Tuesday afternoon, UCF director of athletics Keith Tribble, UCF radio voice Marc Daniels and key members of the UCF Athletics staff conducted the first of five "Conversations in the Community" open forum events on the main floor of the UCF Arena, and addressed several questions dealing with the athletics program as well as its core audiences. The first event, geared towards members of the University's student body, faculty and staff, included topical discussion on student involvement, facility development, economics of college athletics, academic integrity and competition and departmental goals and vision.
"It is easy to say we were pleased with today's first event," said Tribble. "However, it was better to hear from the people that attended following the event that they enjoyed the session. I appreciate the opportunity our campus gave us today in allowing us to answer important questions, having them in tune with our vision on a number of subjects. I am thankful to SGA Vice President Brandon Delanois and student members of our Rowdy Knights for their attendance, but most importantly, for their participation and questions."
The second Conversation in the Community event will occur this evening, at the Downtown Executive Development Center (Ying Academic Center) on 36 West Pine Street in Orlando, between 6-7:30 p.m.
UCF will host an event at the Radisson Hotel on Alafaya Trail on March 9, and also host two events in Seminole County, one on March 19 in Oviedo and another on March 26 in Lake Mary.
