Hi everyone! For some of us, as seniors, coming back this year is bitter sweet. However, there is SO much to look forward to on campus this fall. To start, our football team is ranked 23rd in ESPN's College Football Top 25 Power Rankings. In the analysis, they predict our game vs. Missouri will be our most difficult challenge. In the power index we are ranked 48 overall, 43 on offense, and 54 for defense. This is something to be excited about, as our Knights are looking to have another great season after finishing 12-1 overall last year.

While I am excited about football, I am very excited for this year's Odyssey on campus. For those of you who aren't familiar with us, The Odyssey is a publication that is available at over 70 schools nationwide. I am this year's Editor-in-Chief and I plan to lead the team to a busy year of engaging content. We capture real conversations in local communities in order to impact conversations locally, nationally and around the globe. Our website www.theodysseyonline.com is filled with articles from schools all over the country about an array of topics.

We are looking to expand UCF's paper this fall, which is available in both print and digital. We are looking for motivated students that are interested in getting their voices heard about a variety of topics. To apply, please head to www.theodysseyonline.com/apply. We are currently hiring writers, a social media coordinator, and photographers! 

The Odyssey provides you with an online portfolio that is sure to help you in the future as you head into the real world. While this is scary it is true....and many places ask for writing samples in this job market! If you have any questions about the application please feel free to email me at christina-monroe@live.com or our Managing Editor at meredith@olympiamediagroup.com
