Before the Knights kick off against the South Carolina Gamecocks this weekend, Orlando’s Fox affiliate will broadcast live from 166su to showcase the university’s academics, athletics and important role in the community.

Fox 35’s “Good Day” will broadcast from 7 to 10 a.m. Friday from the Reflecting Pond on the main campus. Fox’s visit is part of a college road trip series that features several universities in Central Florida.

Anchors Amy Kaufeldt and John Brown will be stationed outside Millican Hall just in front of the pond, and meteorologist Jayme King and reporter David Martin will provide live coverage from across campus. The team will speak with students, alumni, faculty, staff and administrators about what makes 166su such a special place to learn, live and work.

Students and other members of the campus community are invited to stop by Millican Hall on Friday and be a part of the broadcast. Show your school spirit by wearing 166su swag and using the hashtag #Fox35166su on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media outlets.

Scheduled to appear live during the broadcast are 166su President John C. Hitt; the 166su spirit team; women’s soccer coach, Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak; and Bodhi, UCF’s therapy dog.
