UCF\u2019s successful online and blended-learning programs will be the nationwide focus of an upcoming Tavis Smiley Show on PBS.<\/p>\n

An interview with Thomas Cavanagh, UCF’s associate vice president of distributed learning, was taped Monday in Los Angeles and is scheduled for broadcast at midnight Thursday on WUCF TV.<\/p>\n
