Malaika Cesar-Nemorin, a Spring 2015 admitted student who attended, said the event was, \u201cgreat because I was able to connect with different organizations that I wanted more information about.\u201d Cesar-Nemorin also commented that because she was a spring admit last year she could, \u201csee how helpful the event is for students that start in the spring because you\u2019re able to get information about a lot of different resources that UCF has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
This event was one of many that FYAE has organized to assist spring admitted students in becoming more connected to UCF and counts as one of the qualifying events for the $1,000 SGA Spring Admit Scholarship.<\/p>\n
