“The Creative Lab with UCF gives students immersive, hands-on, real-world experience through instruction from our talented team. This kind of learning is great for UCF students, great for our theme parks and entertainment, and great for Universal Creative as we help grow and inspire the next generation of creators,” says Mike Hightower, President, Universal Creative.

Back in 2019, Universal Orlando’s chief theme park rival, Walt Disney World, signed a multiyear sponsorship agreement with UCF’s football team.
