We are UCF students who have begun working with a NYC startup called 'brellaBox on a solution to our unpredictable Florida rain: umbrella sharing.
'brellaBox creates umbrella rental machines that would allow UCF students to use a student ID to rent an umbrella from any 'brellaBox. When the rain lets up, the umbrella can be dropped off at the nearest box. The plan is to rollout 20 boxes at first in strategic locations on the UCF campus, ensuring students are never without an umbrella.
UCF has the chance to be the first university in the nation to implement an umbrella sharing eco-system. If you want to see umbrella sharing on campus, let the University know by signing our petition!

I truly never imagined that so many of you would care about keeping each other dry on campus. This momentum belongs entirely to you and I am just stunned by the support.

I think this would be an extremely useful resource that could totally benefit student life!
be sure to include boxes by garages!! This would allow kids to never get wet, and to be sure to rerun it before they left campus.
hope they put some near the stadium. walking from there in downpours is the worst.
We are looking for at least 1,000 signatures! So, share this petition with your friends to help us reach our goal!
omg yes please!!! ive been stuck in the library for hours so many times because of the rain. this needs to happen asap.
Knights want this.
Yes.

Just make sure this is large scale enough. There's A LOT of students at ucf so you'll need more than say one umbrella per building.
