Here are five things you should know this week:

  1. Renowned physician, surgeon, educator, entrepreneur and proud UCF Knight Dr. Gideon Lewis, ’00, was named to the UCF Foundation Board of Directors. “I have always strived to lead by example,” he said. “Serving on this board provides me with a much larger platform to encourage more people to give back to UCF.”

Earlier this year, the UCF Student Government Association announced its plan for a new, reservation-based tailgating system that will allow alumni and students to reserve their (free) gameday spots on Memory Mall.

The Knights on the Mall website launched its reservation system at 10 a.m. yesterday (Aug. 17) for the Sept. 3 home game against FIU. Within the first hour, more than 50 alumni and more than 115 students logged on to reserve their spaces, which were all sold out by 4 p.m.

For the rest of the season, online reservations will begin at 10 a.m. the Monday before each home game. That means your next chance to reserve a spot will be Monday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m., for the UCF vs. Furman game on Sept. 19.

Don’t miss out! Check out the Knights on the Mall website, and follow it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

And, even if you do tailgate the traditional way, don’t forget about the alumni association’s Indoor Tailgates, where you can cool off inside the UCF FAIRWINDS Alumni Center, use real restrooms, buy barbecue from Bubbalou’s, and grab free Coca-Cola products (while supplies last) and free beer (with purchase of commemorative cup)! Come join us!

IT’S HOMECOMING WEEK!

1. We’re kicking off Homecoming Week with a special Black-and-Gold-spirited edition of Five Things. Fun fact: This year is the 45th anniversary of Homecoming at UCF, which started in 1971. It originally was held to coincide with basketball season, which was the university’s first varsity sport.

2. This year’s theme is “Celebrate The Knight.” Alumni looking to attend Concert Knight (Ludacris, Ty Dolla $ign) or Comedy Knight (Nick Swardson) can purchase discounted tickets to these events at the CFE Arena box office or on Ticketmaster. Use the code “HC2016” to receive $5 off the regularly priced $25 tickets.

3. Spirit Splash, one of the most unique campus traditions in the nation, will go down at the Reflecting Pond from noon-2 p.m. Friday – the actual splash is expected to commence at 1 p.m.

4. UCF Alumni’s annual golf tournament and the Black & Gold Takeover will also take place on Friday. Connect with fellow AlumKnights as we start the fun-filled weekend early. Find out more information about these events, including how to register, here.

5. It all leads to Saturday – UCF football’s matchup against Temple under the lights at Bright House Networks Stadium. History is on the Knights’ side as the football team holds a 25-11 mark on Homecoming. The UCF Alumni Indoor Tailgate will start at 4:30 p.m., and #UCFansWear any color – black and gold approved, of course – for the game. You can also check out the UCF Tailgate Concert Series prior to kickoff where Better Than Ezra will be playing.
