Pre-Med AMSA Tuesday, September 20

THE PULSE Please Welcome Terri Cook Terri and her husband Vince are the proud parents of two young men. However, for 15 years they believed

their younger son was their daughter. Their book, Allies & Angels, is a story of strength,

compassion and unconditional love — sharing how these parents supported their son’s transition and the lessons

learned along the way. Learning their daughter was really their son taught them who they are and who they

want to be. This moving story highlights how one family approached and endured what they once feared was an unthinkable path. Allies & Angels will inspire readers to look at their lives differently. No matter who you are or how you identify, this book will challenge you to find a new acceptance for all and a deeper love for your loved ones.

Join thousands of students, alumni, faculty and staff for UCF’s Seventh Annual Day of Service, Knights

Give Back!

On this epic day, UCF Knights will come together to support the Central Florida community and make a

lasting impact!

You will be able to choose the volunteer site that interests you most and are also able to sign up with

your friends, RSO’s, or Greek Life organization

. A representative from Volunteer UCF will be presenting information on Knights Give Back and

how you can get involved this year!
