As promised, the college has planned a series of events to encourage students to be well invested in their education and college experience.<\/p>\n<p>For three days, CBA Student Ambassadors provided window markers for any student to write &#8220;What risks will you take?&#8221; on the Office of Professional Development glass walls and other glass walls throughout the college buildings. The college is planning several more interactive activities this throughout the year to attract student and faculty attention and get more people engaged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a great activity for student engagement and challenged them to break out of the norm to express how they will get to their desired career or life,&#8221; said Student Ambassador President Amanda Brown. \u201cAfter realizing their fears, students will be motivated to overcome any obstacles that prevent them from accomplishing their goals.\u201d Students wrote on the walls, took pictures, and uploaded the pictures on social media while using #UCFBusiness. Pictures were also displayed on the video wall in the Business Administration building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UCF College of Business Student Ambassadors
