Hello everyone!

We're done with our first day on our trip, still under excitement mixed with a lot of emotions, which is really hard to conduct in few sentences and photography’s.

We spent really intense day at the University of Central Florida, where we had chance to go on a lot of meetings with people who are working at the different centre, each one with their own purpose.

First meeting was with Experiential Learning and Career Services. There we had chance to meet two person who work with students on different activities.

First one of them, Ulla Isaac, is Acting Director in Experiential Learnings showed us through her presentation how students are getting chances for experiential learning in the fields of their interest and fields they are planning to work in during their future life. She mentioned how it is the best to have a combination of theoretical knowledge from the faculty and practical knowledge when going on internship in the company. She highlighted the importance of having good and diverse CV in order to find the job easier.

After the interesting presentation on the third floor of the building, we went to the first floor in order to listen the presentation delivered by dr. Bill Blank, Director of Career Development. Throughout his presentation, we managed to find out how they are preparing their students to successfully find their desired job and to stay at their work place as long as they would like to. On the second floor of the building there is a lot of the rooms where students can practice their interviews and prepare better.

After the lunch we went to the Recreation and Wellness Center, where students can do the sport they like, take a rest from their studying or just to do what they like.

The last meeting of the day was with dr. Maribeth Ehaz, Vice President Student Development and Enrollment Services.  First we introduced ourselves, then we talked about their Knights helping Knights Pantry center, which was invented and developed by the students in order to help the students with bad financial situation. We continued our conversation with discussion about the importance of volunteering and being part of different students’ activities.

Between every meeting we had chance to see some parts of the campus, and the last party of the day was dinner and discussion about the interesting day we had.
