The Hunger Games is this year's One-Book Selection - Arts & Sciences students to host a discussion |
Students in the College
of Arts and Sciences at USF Sarasota-Manatee
will be hosting a discussion of
The
Hunger Games Wednesday, February 15,
4-6pm, in Selby Auditorium. A panel of
USFSM students will each talk briefly about an
aspect of the book that has most intrigued them,
and they will seek comments from audience
members about their impressions. Because
this book has been so popular among teen
readers, the college students are particularly
hopeful that high school students who are fan of
the book will bring their insights to the
discussion. |

CAS Faculty visit Mérida, Mexico, to build partnership with Universidad Autónoma del Yucatán |
|
In early December 2011, CAS faculty members Mike Fehily (Spanish) and Robin Danzak (Communication Sciences & Disorders) traveled to Mérida, Mexico, to meet with faculty and students at Universidad Autónoma del Yucatán (UADY). USFSM and UADY have established a partnership thanks to the Sarasota-Mérida Sister Cities relationship. During the visit, Mike Fehily met with undergraduate UADY students of the English Education program who participate as E-Pals for USFSM students in Sr. Mike's Spanish class. The participating UADY students received English dictionaries donated by Rotary/Sister Cities of Sarasota. Robin Danzak participated in a faculty meeting of the College of Education, and also presented her research on Spanish-speaking, English language learners to interested students and faculty. Through the use of Skype, a diverse group of USFSM faculty was able to meet a group of UADY professors to discuss potential research collaborations. Mike and Robin also met with the administration of the UADY College of Education to discuss ways to increase interaction and collaboration between the two institutions.
