“It has been a long time coming, but we can finally say that the Voyage project is placed on the Ocala Campus,” said Brian Holloway, a CF student and president of the Kappa Nu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. “Our goal with this project is to instill enthusiasm and awareness of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) programs while also providing an opportunity for our students and the community to walk a 1 to 10-billion scale model of our solar system. Each of the 13 stanchions contains information pertaining to where you are in the solar system at that point of your walk.”
This model was brought to the College of Central Florida for permanent display by the Kappa Nu chapter of Phi Theta Kappa with assistance from the CF Foundation in honor of Mrs. Charlotte Rosenberg, Ocala Municipal Art Commission, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Renaissance Printing.
