Associate Dean Lynn Hepner ’95MA is retiring from UCF on August 7. Her ability to anticipate the needs of the college and to provide the right data at the right time has made her invaluable to CAH.

This year, the 11-day festival known as UCF Celebrates the Arts is back and bigger than ever before.

“We asked for a ‘little help from our friends’ this year, and our friends delivered,” says Jeff Moore, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities.

The annual festival brings musicians, theater practitioners and visual artists from the UCF campus to the Central Florida community in an array of offerings including jazz, dance, musical theater, opera, symphony, bands, visual arts, talks, choirs, family events and more.

The Women in Science course looks at the history of American and European women who have pursued scientific endeavors from the 19th century forward.

Started in 2015, UCF Celebrates the Arts continues to grow with this year’s festival. Here, representing various artistic genres, are five key programs at the festival to check out.

Four UCF professors examined the COVID-19 pandemic and drew comparisons by exploring historical contexts of past epidemics in the United States on Friday.

John Roy Price, this year’s speaker for the Annual Pauley Lecture Series, will take a fresh look at Nixon’s social policies and the ongoing relevance of the arguments for and against them.

The program awarded a total of $1 million to 32 teams, several of which included CAH faculty members.

Eight faculty members with the College of Arts and Humanities were honored for their works, which ranged from novels to textbooks.
