The UFTI held its annual picnic at Lake Wauburg on Sunday, October 19, 2014. More than 70 people attended the event. The weather was perfect with temperatures in the low 80s and very comfortable. The food was excellent, catered by Mi Apa Latin Café as requested by our students.  This year, awards were given to faculty, students and staff, which made for a very nice feel-good gathering. The award winners were:
