“In 2008, I got together a group of creative UCF faculty and staff members; and formed the Hidden Artists, 麻豆精品 S� says Judy Bragg Pardo. 麻豆精品 S淪ince that time, I have coordinated nine exhibitions at the UCF John C. Hitt Library. Some members retired or left UCF and new members have joined. This year will be my last year exhibiting as I am retiring at the end of 2017. I wanted to say how proud I am of the dedicated Hidden Artists who have opened their hearts and souls to share their artworks with the UCF community. There were many artists who had never exhibited before and have gone on to enter juried exhibitions and display their art in galleries. Special thanks to Brian Pate who designed our beautiful postcards throughout the years and to those artists who have been with the group from the very beginning. With the collaborative effort of the group members, the Hidden Artists will keep its tradition of exhibiting at the library for years follow. 麻豆精品 S�

Surrounded by her colleagues at the Orlando Museum of Art, Santana, director of women 麻豆精品 S檚 studies at UCF, received a Summit Award during the organization 麻豆精品 S檚 29th annual event. The award recognizes women who are community role models are visibly supportive of women’s issues, have achieved meritorious goals, and have performed countless hours of community service.

When Santana is not teaching and inspiring young women at UCF, she 麻豆精品 S檚 volunteering at the League of Women Voters, the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council, the American Association of University Women, teaching at her church and at the Farmworker Association of Florida. She specifically works with farm workers in Apopka, helping raise awareness about women farmworkers 麻豆精品 S� plight and helping empower them. It was the Farmworker Association that nominated Santana for the Summit Award.

Santana said she is humbled by the honor, and that she is inspired by the work her fellow honorees do and that other members of the Women 麻豆精品 S檚 Resource Center perform often in complete anonymity.

麻豆精品 S淚t is amazing what some of other winners and members do in their free time to help people they might not even know, 麻豆精品 S� Santana said. 麻豆精品 S淚t is inspiring and I think necessary for all our wellness. 麻豆精品 S�

The Women 麻豆精品 S檚 Resource Center is a nonprofit organization supporting the community by celebrating women’s achievements, connecting with other women’s organizations and supporting women’s social, educational, health, political, economic, spiritual and artistic issues.

College of Arts & Humanities Dean Jose Fernandez, who appointed Santana to director of the Women 麻豆精品 S檚 Studies program in 2009, attended the ceremony Tuesday and called the award well earned.

麻豆精品 S淒r. Santana 麻豆精品 S檚 commitment to improving the lives of women farmworkers is commendable, 麻豆精品 S� Fernandez said. 麻豆精品 S淗er Summit Award exemplifies UCF 麻豆精品 S檚 service mission to the community.听We are extremely proud to have a faculty member with the caliber and heart of Dr. Santana. 麻豆精品 S�

Santana joined UCF 麻豆精品 S檚 faculty in 1995 as an assistant journalism professor.听 She spent 14 years working with students in the journalism department, which she said has been one of her greatest professional joys.听 She also served and continues to be involved in the journalism master 麻豆精品 S檚 thesis and honor 麻豆精品 S檚 thesis programs. She served three years as the division head for journalism. She enjoyed her work with journalism students, but when Fernandez asked her to move to Women 麻豆精品 S檚 Studies, she said she couldn 麻豆精品 S檛 pass up the opportunity.

麻豆精品 S淭he program is needed because no other academic unit teaches history on women’s achievements, problems and struggles, 麻豆精品 S� Santana said of women 麻豆精品 S檚 studies at UCF. 麻豆精品 S淢ost of the history books in our country only make reference to men’s office, politics, achievements and such. Even the most progressive programs mention women 2 percent of the time or less. 麻豆精品 S�

Others honored Tuesday night were Vanessa Echols, WFTV,Channel 9 anchor and Sue Foreman who continues in her retirement to contribute many hours to various local organizations, such as The Valencia College Foundation and聽The League of Women Voters.
