💛🖤 Every Knight deserves to experience the Spirit Splash magic!

Today, MVSS was proud to host Accessibility Splash at UCF Spirit Splash 2026! 🦆

Alongside our campus partners, we helped create a welcoming and accessible space where Knights with accessibility needs could enjoy the Homecoming festivities away from the large crowds.

From handing out Spirit Splash shirts and ducks to providing a comfortable place to relax and celebrate, we loved helping make this UCF tradition enjoyable for everyone!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped make today special.

Because Knight pride is for EVERY Knight! ⚔️

🇺🇸 Congratulations to Soldiers' Angels Orlando team on the grand opening of the new food pantry at the Orlando VA Medical Center in Lake Nona! This is the first VA hospital to host a Soldiers’ Angels food pantry and another reason why the Orlando VA Healthcare System is leaps ahead.

As Director of UCF’s Office of Military and Veteran Student Success, I’m proud to celebrate this important investment in our veteran community. By providing both perishable and non-perishable food to veterans and their families, this pantry will make a meaningful difference in helping military-connected families access the essentials they need to thrive.

At MVSS, we believe student and veteran success extends beyond the classroom. It takes strong community partnerships, a shared commitment to service, and organizations willing to turn that commitment into meaningful action.

It is our privilege and honor to partner with Soldiers’ Angels through food distribution efforts and to support their mission of serving those who have served us. We look forward to strengthening this partnership and exploring even greater opportunities to serve veterans and their families across Central Florida.

Together, we can build stronger communities and ensure those who served our nation have the support they deserve. 🇺🇸
