General Witnessed a serious scooter accident on campus. Please wear a helmet and slow down in crowded areas

88 Upvotes

During the week, I witnessed a terrible accident on campus involving a student on an electric scooter and a UCF Facilities driver. I can’t say who was at fault. Neither appeared to be speeding, but the student was hit and landed face-first on the ground. He lost consciousness and was bleeding. He regained consciousness before the police arrived and took over, but it was frightening to witness. I really hope he’s doing okay.

Please wear a helmet when riding a bike or scooter, and slow down and be patient in crowded areas.

I also had a close call at 63 South. Someone riding past at high speed almost collided with me as I came out of the restroom. If we had collided, we both could have been seriously hurt.

Please stay aware of your surroundings, especially if you’re wearing earbuds or headphones. I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt.

Hi I know it’s a weird place to ask but I’m a commuter who is new to UCF. The movie isn't streaming at my local movie theater yet, so I'm planning to watch it in Orlando. Would anyone want to watch it with me? I love Nathan Fielder but Ik it’s not everyone’s thing but if you want to watch the wizard of loneliness on the big screen with me lmk :)

Clubs/Organizations 🤺 UCF Board Making Club interest

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m interested in starting a “board” making club at UCF. The goal is to be able to utilize tools provided by UCF for students (like the TI lab laser cutter) and fabricate better tools (like board presses and large vacuum bag setups) to help make custom skateboards, ripstiks, surfboards, snowboards, etc. Now as someone who partakes in all four of these activities and likes custom stuff, I felt like it would be a fun club to start. I was hoping other students might also be interested, perchance. I will eventually be printing this 6’8” fun board I’m designing and I’ve already 3D printed a working electric ripstik. Eventually I want to try to fabricate a mountain bike so maybe that’s a direction the club could go.

Non-School Question 🎮 Are there any good reccomendations for haircut for men with curly hair?

8 Upvotes

I'm very picky with the people that cut my hair because many barbers don't seem to understand that my hair, and curly hair in general, will straighten more when wet and curl back up when dry. Shocker I know.

But it leads a lot of them to ignore the intructions I give them thinking they know better and cut my hair way too short and not the way I wanted. One guy gave me a cut that made my head have shape of an egg. I had to walk around like that for months, it was not fun.

If anyone has any reccomendations for salons, barbershops, specific hair stylists or barbers around the area, I would really greatly appreciate it. It would be a huge help to me and to the rest of my curly haired brethren

Employment 📉 SVAD Employment Rates

3 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

I've been a bit discouraged, looking at the seniors I used to know within SVAD, especially in emerging media, and how I haven't really heard of many leaving college and finding work. I wanted to ask, especially for any alumni out there, how is it looking out there? Back when I first applied into SVAD, I asked for employment rates per major as other schools would share this information, but I was told this wasn't really collected. Looking through the names I remember, either they don't update their LinkedIns, or it's looking pretty scary out there.

General Rear ended on Thursday 15th around intersection on University blvd and turbine Drive. Looking for footage

1 Upvotes

Last Thursday, around 8:30am as I was about to enter UCF, I was rear-ended while I stopped at a crosswalk that intersected turbine drive and university blvd to allow a pedestrian to finish crossing the street. Even though the traffic light was green, I had stopped to yield to the pedestrian. Unfortunately, the driver behind me was unable to brake in time and rear-ended my car.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether there are any cameras at that crosswalk that record instead of live stream and whether if its worth contacting the authorities to request that footage or if anyone happened to witness the accident and has dashcam footage.

I would really appreciate any information or footage anyone might have. Thank you so much for your help!
