Laurie Uttich, the faculty advisor for the Cypress Dome Society, believes the act of creating any type of art is an act of courage. It is her great honor to work with the brave peeps of this group who apply their creativity, passion, and editing skills to magnify the stories of those in our UCF community. Secretly, she believes that writers and artists are from the Island of Misfit Toys and it's her great pleasure to hang with other spotted elephants, water pistols that squirt jelly, and birds that swim instead of fly.
