2010 Unifying Theme Music Composition Competition


The Environment & Global Climate Change:  Our Planet, Our Education, Our Future.

March 4-12, 2010
UCF Psychology Building Atrium
 

When UCF asked students what they care about, undergraduates responded with a clear, unified voice: the environment, specifically Global Climate Change. UCF undergraduates are passionate about creating a just and sustainable future, and that passion is the driving force behind making The Environment and Global Climate Change the Unifying Theme.
