USF Sarasota-Manatee to celebrate graduation weekend with Latin dancing and laughter SARASOTA, FL (May 4, 2006) – The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the USF System this weekend, with a full slate of events – all to be held on the bayfront of the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus. USF Weekend is May 5-7 along beautiful Sarasota Bay. It is traditionally an annual celebration of events and activities to invite the community to visit the campus. On Friday, the “Salsa on the Bay” event, sponsored by the USF Alumni Association, will help celebrate Cinco de Mayo with an evening of Latin dancing and Latin cuisine – complete with the popular band Nuevos Generaciones and cuisine from Two Senoritas. On Saturday afternoon, two local bands will perform as part of “Sunset on the Bay and Comedy Pre-Party.” Specifically, this event includes the Indie rock band Signal 76, and folk troubadour Rayzor (a.k.a Ray DeArcangelis). On Saturday evening, nationally known actor and comedian Harland Williams will be the featured performer for “Comedy on the Bay” sponsored by the Student Government Association. Williams has appeared in the movies Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary and Sorority Boys among many others, and will be presented by Sarasota’s own Les McCurdy of McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre. On Sunday, USF Sarasota-Manatee’s Spring Commencement Ceremonies will wrap up the weekend’s schedule of activities.
