UCF’s News and Information department pointed out that UCF President John C. Hitt will award his 150,000th degree this weekend. KnightNews.com has included a portion of the News and Information article below:
UCF has achieved extraordinary success during President Hitt’s 18 years at the university. Under his leadership, enrollment has more than doubled, research funding has risen from $6.2 million to $133.3 million and the number of doctorates awarded each year has more than quadrupled.
In addition, President Hitt has supported UCF’s growth as a national leader and the third-largest university in the nation. U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” guide ranks UCF No. 5 as an “Up-and-Coming” national university. UCF is the only Florida university on the list.
UCF’s growth has also been fueled by quality students, including the fall 2009 freshman class, which averaged a 1225 on the SAT and included 55 National Merit Scholars, a total that ranks UCF among the top 50 universities in the nation. Similar numbers are expected this fall.
