Works by all six finalists will be shown at both venues, creating opportunities to engage with two major academic communities. One artist will receive a $10,000 prize, a solo exhibition in 2027, and the opportunity to serve as a juror for the next edition, along with additional professional development support.

Pathways is designed to nurture emerging artists and provide a meaningful path forward, reflecting the shared missions of both institutions.

Finalists: Alex Awuku, Michael Cannata, Cruz Castillo, Ebenezer Nketsiah Mensah, Lucía Morales, Shayla Marshall
Jurors: Marcus Antonius Jansen, Tenee’ Hart, Sheldon Scott

UCF’s BSN Information Sessions are designed to help prospective BSN students understand the process and steps for applying to UCF's limited-access, upper-division BSN programs, which include the traditional, second-degree and concurrent options. The online RN-to-BSN option will also be discussed. Attendees will learn about unique application requirements to practice and learn in clinical sites, prerequisite courses and grade requirements and other helpful information. This information session is open to anyone interested in applying to UCF College of Nursing's BSN program.

Attendance is not required of applicants, but it is encouraged. Attendees should plan to arrive early and stay for the entire presentation, which will last about one hour, followed by a question-and-answer session. There will be limited availability for one-on-one advising after the session.

BSN program options:

• Traditional BSN is offered at three UCF campuses: Cocoa, Daytona Beach and Orlando.
• Second Degree BSN is only offered at UCF Orlando and is designed for students who have a bachelor's degree or higher in a non-nursing discipline.
• Concurrent ASN to BSN is offered at UCF Altamonte Springs (SSC) and UCF Valencia West, with on-campus classes, and then transitions online for the last one to two semesters after passing the NCLEX-RN.
• Florida College System Concurrent ASN to BSN is offered online to students who have completed their first semester of an ASN program at any Florida College System program.
• RN to BSN is offered online for licensed RNs who aim to advance their education with a BSN degree.

Thank you, and we look forward to chatting with you.

Meeting is OPEN to all UCF students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Self Management And Recovery Training (SMART Recovery) is an evidenced-informed recovery method grounded in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviors to:

1. Build and maintain motivation
2. Cope with urges and cravings
3. Manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors
4. Live a balanced life

SMART Recovery focuses on the addictive behaviors, not the substance – meaning they are suitable for any problematic or addictive behavior – including but not limited to alcohol, drugs, gambling, tobacco, as well as eating disorders.
