TGIF, Bulls!

In celebration of the end of this week’s classes and the start of the weekend, you should read what’s been going on around campus!

Here’s the latest from USF.edu:

Students Discuss the MLK III Lecture– On January 20, 2011, the University Lecture Series brought Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of Martin Luther King, Jr. visited the University of South Florida as part of the University Lecture Series. Check out this video!

Hillsborough Students Benefit from Africana Studies Event– In the Marshall Student Center ballroom on Thursday, Jan. 20, the University of South Florida Department of Africana Studies/ Institute on Black Life sponsored a symposium entitled “Many Faces of Africa” for Hillsborough County public school students. 

USF Partners With Patt Tillman Foundation– The University of South Florida is joining forces with the Pat Tillman Foundation as one of five new university partners in support of its Tillman Military Scholars program which provides educational scholarships for veteran and active service members and their dependents.

Solar House Competition Heats Up– FleX House, the design entry that won Team Florida a spot in the Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon competition for the world’s best solar-powered house, is getting closer to realization.

“Green” Patel Center Opens at USF– The 75,000-square-foot center is now open, capping more than a year of construction for USF’s first fully-constructed sustainable building. The university has incorporated sustainable building practices into all its facilities remodeling and construction, but the Patel Center represents a new era in rethinking how public spaces are created with an eye on better managing limited resources, USF leaders say.

Mailer Review Focuses on Two “Literary Warriors”– Masculinity, toughness, fantasy women, violence, war, boxing, guns – these are the themes that unite two of the 20th Century’s greatest writers, Norman Mailer and Ernest Hemingway.  

The latest issue of The Mailer Review, Vol. 4, No. 1, a publication of the University of South Florida and the Norman Mailer Society, puts them on the same bill to provide lovers of Hemingway and Mailer a rich, varied and detailed exploration of the two authors’ connections.

She recently enjoyed a travel/study tour to London and various cities in Ireland and plans on backpacking through Europe after graduation.
