2025 Fall Schedule

Monday-Thursday

Student lounge 10am-3pm

Our student lounge is a free and inviting space designed specifically for the UCF and surrounding community. Here, you can unwind, focus on your studies, meet new people, and connect with staff members. Whether you want to network, relax, or grab a refreshment, we have complimentary coffee, tea, and water for everyone.

If you are in need of a meal and are experiencing food insecurity, simply ask a staff member, and we will provide one for you.

The vision behind our lounge is inspired by King's Beloved Community and Wesley’s Prevenient Grace, as we strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment that nurtures productivity and community, inclusive of all people. It’s an open space for everyone.

Brunch and learn

Join us Tuesdays for Brunch and Learn — a free, in-person or virtual experience.

This is a space for college students to explore important and relevant topics that will help you navigate today’s changing world, grow into your most authentic self, and show up for others (and yourself) with courage, love, and purpose. AKA: Love God. Love Neighbor. Love Self.

Each session is thoughtfully curated and will feature dynamic topics and, at times, guest speakers.

Free brunch will be provided.

Spiritual Direction

thursdays 11:30am-1pm

Spiritual Direction is the ancient practice of sitting with others while deeply listening and paying attention to the wisdom within.

Led by certified Spiritual Director Barb Shortal, this time will focus on truly listening to your words, feelings, thoughts, and even the silence—to help you uncover what is already within you. A spiritual director’s role is to hold a compassionate, sacred space where you feel safe to explore, ask questions, wonder, and discern. Our time together is precious and always confidential.

 All are welcome, regardless of faith or non-faith background. Donuts and Coffee will be provided.
