October is a month full of pumpkins, fall colors, wishful thoughts of cooler weather, and also awareness. October is Disability Awareness Month and this is a month that Saint Leo fully participates in, in order to broaden college student’s knowledge of a variety of disabilities.
The scaffolding present underneath the loggia outside the Daniel A. Cannon Memorial Library has been the center of speculation for many Saint Leo students after returning from the summer to a completely foreign sight. Many have questioned whether or not it was safe to enter and exit the library under such precarious looking conditions, and rest assured, it is.
“Come one, Come all. Step right up and join the fun!” It’s that time of the year again, the Family Fall Festival. The parents and family members of the Saint Leo University community visit our beautiful campus to see family and friends and enjoy the weather and company. This year the festivities are scheduled to start October 21 and run through until Sunday October 23.
Saint Leo students may have been alarmed a little over a week ago to receive an email from Residence Life regarding the institution of weekly walkthroughs to observe the conditions of the residence halls on campus. Many thought that this meant weekly room inspections from Residence Life, conducted under the guise of maintenance issues.
One of Saint Leo University’s many traditions includes that of Moonlight Madness – an annual event that kicks off the start of the men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Much like Saint Leo, larger schools host events to indicate the beginning of their athletic program’s basketball seasons. However, despite the fact that Saint Leo hosts such an event every year, this year’s Moonlight Madness will be somewhat different than last year’s.
The Lions’ Pride Newspaper would like to pay tribute to faculty and staff for playing a key role in making Saint Leo University’s environment a great place to learn. This week’s spotlight is on Dr. David Persky who is Assistant to the President at Saint Leo University and is also currently acting as the Saint Leo University’s Board of Governors’ General Counsel until a new General Counsel comes in on September 26, 2011. Dr. Persky earned his B.A. in social science from Southern Methodist University, his M.S. in personnel counseling from Miami University in Ohio, his Ph.D. in higher education from Florida State University, and his J.D. from Stetson University College of law.
Among many new features on the Saint Leo campus is a group committed to students who are not from the United States. C.L.A.S.P. is a new addition to the Learning Resource Center where students from different cultures find comfort in seeking help with homework, social life, and interpreting other issues while living on campus.
It’s been a year since Saint Leo’s cafeteria switched from Sodexo. Many students and even the staff have opinions and inputs on how things progressed since then.
The word around Saint Leo is that there’s a new coach in town. There’s a new Men’s Soccer Coach with a great history and even brighter future: Keith Fulk is a new addition to the Lions this season, looking to take over an already talented team.
