Seventeen scholarships were awarded this year and UCF received the most of any university. The UCF recipients are:<\/p>\n<li><strong>Dominic Mezzatesta &#8217;18<\/strong>, master\u2019s student majoring in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/public-administration-mpa\/\">public administration<\/a>\/emergency management with a certificate in homeland security<\/li>\n<li>Joshua Holder, undergraduate student majoring in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/public-administration-ba\/\">public administration<\/a>, EMHS minor<\/li>\n<li>Zoe Griffin, undergraduate student majoring in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/emergency-management-ba\/\">emergency management<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Alicia Storey, undergraduate student majoring in emergency management and a minor in nonprofit management<\/li>\n<li><strong>Juan Lugo &#8217;15 &#8217;19MS<\/strong>, recent graduate who majored in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/urban-and-regional-planning-ms\/\">urban and regional planning<\/a>\/emergency management with a homeland security certificate<\/li>\n<p>Lugo is also co-presenting a study at the conference alongside associate professor and principal investigator Claire Connolly Knox on Friday. The talk \u201cPost-Disaster Evidence-Based Resiliency: Lessons Learned from Hurricane Irma\u201d will be followed by a panel discussion with emergency managers from across Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The talk will cover highlights from the study. The team, which also includes <strong>Jasmine Blais &#8217;17 &#8217;19MS<\/strong>, who earned her master\u2019s in urban and regional planning in May, conducted a statewide study about community resiliency.<\/p>\n<p>The team analyzed reports from 21 counties in the regions hardest regions by Hurricane Irma. The researchers identified common challenges and made recommendations for each county, which will help prepare communities for the next wave of storms.<\/p>\n<p>For Lugo and Blais the opportunity to work on the project gave them the opportunity to apply the lessons learned and also reinforced their passion for the field of study.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBeing a Florida native, I know the crucial role emergency management plays in ensuring our communities are prepared for disasters.\u201d \u2014 <strong>Juan Lugo<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>&#8217;15 &#8217;19MS<\/strong>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/urban-and-regional-planning-ms\/\">urban and regional planning<\/a>\/emergency management alumnus<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEmergency management ties in strategic planning, collaboration and communications,\u201d Lugo says. \u201cThese are all things I enjoy having a part in. Being a Florida native, I know the crucial role emergency management plays in ensuring our communities are prepared for disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the work isn\u2019t easy. When the team started this project, they say they knew it would be time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Now as they prepare to join Knox on stage to present their findings to emergency management leaders, Lugo and Blais agree the time spent was well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are confident research like this will continue to improve our communities\u2019 ability to become more resilient,\u201d Blais says, who hopes to launch her professional career in planning in Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>Both graduates praise Knox for making them work hard and showing them that their work pays off.<\/p>\n<p>Knox will also be recruiting students for UCF\u2019s master\u2019s program in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/emergency-and-crisis-management-mecm\/\">emergency and crisis management<\/a>\u00a0at the conference in Booth 511 of the exhibition hall. <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/em> ranks the program No. 7 in the nation.
