The FIFA World Cup starts today! ⚽
While Orlando isn’t hosting matches, many fans in our community may be traveling to catch the action. Major events like this are a common target for criminals, so be on the lookout for scams. Stick to verified ticket sellers, and avoid purchasing tickets through private sellers or social media. Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Last night, Officers Lee Smith and Michael Rivera attended a Running 4 Heroes Inc. event to honor two fallen officers.

Running 4 Heroes is dedicated to supporting the families of first responders who have died in the line of duty. For each fallen officer, a youth runner completes a one‑mile tribute while carrying a flag, which is later presented to the officer’s family along with a handwritten note.

This little one was getting a bit restless during a family member’s high school graduation, so Officer Temperato stepped in to help. Getting to check out all the cool gear was a big hit, and the parents were grateful to avoid a meltdown!
As we wrap up high school graduations today, we want to thank students, faculty, and staff for their flexibility with the extra traffic and road closures to accommodate graduates and their guests. Congratulations to all the graduates—we hope to see some of you on campus as UCF Knights this fall!
