Pre-Med AMSA Tuesday, September 20
THE PULSE Please Welcome Terri Cook Terri and her husband Vince are the proud parents of two young men. However, for 15 years they believed
their younger son was their daughter. Their book, Allies & Angels, is a story of strength,
compassion and unconditional love — sharing how these parents supported their son’s transition and the lessons
learned along the way. Learning their daughter was really their son taught them who they are and who they
want to be. This moving story highlights how one family approached and endured what they once feared was an unthinkable path. Allies & Angels will inspire readers to look at their lives differently. No matter who you are or how you identify, this book will challenge you to find a new acceptance for all and a deeper love for your loved ones.
Join thousands of students, alumni, faculty and staff for UCF’s Seventh Annual Day of Service, Knights
