Places to Go
The EXCHANGE, Presented by FAIRWINDS Credit Union
At UCF College of Business, we believe the best education occurs when you get a chance to sit and have a conversation with someone who has something interesting to say. The more opportunities you have to participate in such conversations, the more you are going to learn. This is the idea behind The EXCHANGE, where every week students can hear from business and community leaders, accomplished alumni, entrepreneurs and partners. Learn More
