UCF New Student and Family Programs

"Hi! I'm Payton a second year mechanical engineering major from Titusville, Florida. I love theme parks, reading, and hanging out with friends. I hope to one day become a ride engineer for Disney or Universal. My favorite color is purple and my favorite study spot on campus is the student union. I love UCF and am so excited to officially welcome everyone here over the summer as your Orientation Leader! " - Payton, 2026 Orientation Leader
