@UCFCCIE Winter Stroll is today! Holiday cheer has been stolen causing dissertation chaos.

Come see us in HS1 311 and help us apprehend the grinch!

[UCFCCIE @UCFCCIE]

Tis the season for CCIE's annual holiday gathering! Faculty and staff donned their coziest and most festive attire while enjoying some light bites, reflecting on all that was accomplished this year, and voting for the most spirited Winter Stroll winners.

Cindy Lou is studying hard, but the Grinch is making it difficult for her to study for her finals. Good luck to all @ucf students during the last couple of weeks of the semester!

[Jen Peck @JenPeck_]

Big thanks to @UCF_WBB/@ehorne_2 for the invite to the game today, and congratulations on a big win! 🏀

Best of luck for the rest of the season! ⚔️
