  In addition to our remarkable honorees, we will hear from our keynote speaker, Lois Wolk, who served as UFC President in May of 1983 when Chancellor Meyer officially granted UCD Support Group status to UFC. She will talk about the history of University Farm Circle and how its members have supported UCD students in many ways through good times and bad. Finally, Ann Fersht will welcome Newcomers and will join UFC past President Carlene Ozonoff in describing the innovative programs and events of the coming year.
