UCF College of Community Innovation and Education

“UCF taught me how powerful knowledge is, how important relationships are, and how it didn’t matter if I had money or not — my voice and perspective mattered,” says public administration alumna and doctoral student, Anna Eskamani.

“It is always wonderful to be recognized for your efforts but no one accomplishes anything alone. I have been blessed with great family support. None of this happens without them,” says, secondary education alumna and UCF cheerleading coach, Linda Gooch.

“As with any complex problem whose roots run deep, an effective approach must be holistic, comprehensive and preventative. It must utilize cooperation among law enforcement and community partners, social service agencies, educational institutions and economic resources.”
