As our Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ community navigates a global pandemic and adjusts to a new normal, we know your first priority is the same as ours \u2014 the health and security of those closest to you.<\/p>\n

To ensure the health and safety of Knight Nation, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ has organized an effort to help students and employees who are struggling due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Ways to Access Financial Relief<\/strong><\/div>\n

We are committed to supporting and offering relief resources for our Knights. Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ students who are experiencing a distressing situation that significantly impacts academic or personal success should contact\u00a0Student Care Services<\/a>\u00a0by email at caremanager@ucf.edu. Faculty or staff\u00a0experiencing a distressing situation should contact\u00a0Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Human Resources<\/a>\u00a0at askhr@ucf.edu.<\/p>\n

Ways to Support<\/strong><\/div>\n

If you’re among those in a position to help Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ students who are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic, your support is urgently needed. Without a safety net, someone losing a job or a housing arrangement can face disaster.<\/p>\n

In recognition of the unique circumstances in which we are in, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ has postponed its annual Day of Giving. However, in response to questions and offers of help from alumni and friends, we provide the following information and ways in which you may lend your support, if you wish.<\/p>\n

Gifts to the funds listed in this story will provide immediate relief for students or employees who are housing- and food-insecure, or who need emergency funding to get through this stressful experience and time of uncertainty.<\/p>\n
