The 2018 ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ PREP Staff placed third in the song category of the skit, song, step and dance competition at the Southern Regional Orientation Workshop March 16-18 at the University of Central Florida.

A total of 53 schools competed in the overall competition, and ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ beat out 10 other universities in the song category.

Ahmaad Solmone, coordinator ofÌýPREP, said, “It has been years since ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ placed in this competition and theÌýPREPÌýstaff couldn’t be more excited. They worked extremely hard for this, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.â€

Five of theÌýPREP/POP leaders, Abigail Thomas, EJ Anadi, Hunter Henson, Joey Walker and Taylor McGuffee, led three different educational workshops while at SROW. There wereÌýmore than 200 educational session submissions with only 115 chosen, and three of them being from ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥. It has been several years since ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ has presented at SROW.

PREPÌýstaff also competed in the Graduate and Undergraduate Case Study Competition. Nicholas Green and Toni Corso represented ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ in the undergraduate portion, while Haley Welch competed in the graduate portion, and won Best Communication.
