    The Lifespan of a Fact Press Release

    THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT Page 1 of 6 **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** December 23, 2019 Asolo Rep Proudly Presents THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT The 2018 Broadway Hit Runs January 22 - March 19 (SARASOTA, December 23, 2019) — Asolo Rep proudly continues its winter repertory season with the recent Broadway sizzling hit dramedy THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT, by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell. Directed by Asolo Rep Associate Artistic Director Celine Rosenthal, THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT previews January 22 and 23, opens January 24 and runs through March 19 in rotating repertory in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. At a high-end, struggling magazine, millennial fact-checker, Jim, is eager to prove he has what it takes to his demanding editor, Emily. His first assignment: to fact check a groundbreaking essay by a famous author that offers a glimmer of hope to the publication's future, reeling from dwindling circulation and shrinking ad sales. But as he dives into the article, he discovers that the essay is riddled with inaccuracy after inaccuracy, and so begins the heated battle between truth and fact and right and wrong. “THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is remarkably pertinent – it hits right on the pulse of what is going on today in the world of media and politics,” said Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards. “It is one of the best plays I’ve seen recently, packed with razor-sharp dialogue and unexpected twists and turns that will keep audiences laughing, guessing and gasping.

    July 22, 2021 Deans & Department Chairs- It’s hard to believe that we are already at the end of July and looking at Fall starting a month from now. We have all faced truly unprecedented times and I once again thank you all for your hard work and ongoing efforts. Over the next few weeks additional informational emails will be sent out to a broader university community about the Fall start. Please watch for those messages and make sure they are shared as needed. As a reminder, registration for Fall is currently open. Orientation is ongoing as well. In this last year your instructors have demonstrated amazing flexibility and some truly innovational teaching techniques. I support and encourage that continued innovation. I applaud that ongoing effort, but also want to remind you of some basic parameters that must inform your decisions about Fall classes. As always, Space and Scheduling is available for questions and support. Face-to-Face classes and online approval Any class section already built and coded as face-to-face must remain coded as face-to-face, even if an online course approval is received prior to the start of Fall classes. You may add a new section that is coded as an online offering, adjust instructors across different sections, or even combine\co-list sections and teach them together. Students and parents have made housing, travel, and assorted planning decisions based on the Fall schedule. Changing instruction mode at this late date is not feasible and will negatively affect the students. Flex classes on Tallahassee campus Flex classes are still an option for Fall on the Tallahassee campus.

  • One Thing I've Come to Love About My New Home, the University of Florida

    One Thing I've Come to Love About My New Home, the University of Florida

    President Kent Fuchs Inaugural Address “The Orange and Blue Horizon Beyond” Friday, Dec. 4, 2015 (3 p.m.) University Auditorium One thing I’ve come to love about my new home, the University of Florida, is the sky. It can be bold and blue. It can be mysterious and dark. Looking up at Century Tower and the palm trees in silhouette against the dramatic sky is, for me, a constant metaphor of possibility and promise. This spring, we moved commencement ceremonies outdoors to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. We worried about the prospect of the daily rain drenching thousands of graduates, their families, and the president. But for four evenings in a row the sky resolved into stunning shades of orange and blue. Page 2 of 25 I’d like to think the commencement sky was putting on a special show for the University of Florida. But this sky is telling us something more. It represents far greater horizons for UF than we have seen before. This sky is, for me, a reminder that this great university can climb sunward, and as John G. Magee put in his poem “High Flight,” “join the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds – and do a hundred things we have not yet dreamed of.” While Century Tower and our hallowed traditions and missions will always be here, in the foreground, it is time for us to explore a much bigger beyond. We are accustomed to thinking about our extraordinarily comprehensive academics on one contiguous campus, our athletics, our beloved land-grant mission and our identity in certain, timeworn ways.

    Revised 02/11/21

    DRAFT Revised 02/11/21 President Position Profile Florida State University’s (FSU) Board of Trustees invites nominations and applications for the position of President. The University’s next President must be a visionary leader and passionate advocate for FSU who will build upon the success of President John Thrasher. Thrasher announced his retirement after serving in the role since 2014 and leading the University to recognition as a “Top 20”-ranked public university (U.S. News & World Report, 2021). The Board of Trustees seeks an individual who will capitalize on FSU’s current momentum and achieve new and exciting heights of distinction. The University As one of the nation's most elite research universities, and one of the largest and oldest of the 12 institutions of higher learning in the State University System of Florida, FSU offers a distinctive academic environment built on its cherished values and unique heritage. With more nearly 44,000 students, approximately 6,600 employees and an operating budget of $1.62 billion, FSU provides a welcoming campus environment on the oldest continuous site of higher education in Florida with a prime location in the heart of the state capital. Underlying the educational experience at FSU is the development of new generations of citizen leaders, based on the concepts inscribed in the University’s seal: Vires, Artes, Mores — Strength, Skill and Character. Combining traditional strengths in the arts and humanities with internationally recognized leadership in the sciences, FSU provides unmatched opportunities for students and faculty through challenging academics, cultural discovery, and community interaction. FSU’s 18 colleges and its Graduate School offer more than 276 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, professional, and specialist degree programs, including medicine and law.

  • Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study

    Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study

    Arts & Economic The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts .rMI Culture Organizations and Their Audience From the iconic images of the Florida Highwaymen to the museums that preserve and collect our history, arts and culture define us. They improve quality of life for Floridians and visitors to our state. The arts and culture inspire creativity and lifelong learning, build strong communities, and build a strong network for leadership that encourages a stronger Florida. The findings of The Arts and Economic Prosperity III reveal that, in addition to these innumerable benefits, arts and culture bring economic vitality to our state. This study reveals that the cultural industry is important to economic prosperity. In Florida, arts and culture mean business. With more than $3 billion in total direct expenditures into the Florida economy in 2008, arts and culture are sound investments in Florida’s future. In the pages to follow, you will read about the many ways that arts and culture are good news for those looking to strengthen Florida’s economy. Leaders in Florida are supportive of arts and culture because they have helped to bring new businesses and ventures to our state. In today’s competitive global marketplace, arts and culture can play an important role in attracting high-wage jobs and a creative workforce. The Arts and Economic Prosperity III expands that notion. Not only can the cultural industry play its important part in attracting business critical to economic recovery, this industry contributes directly to economic activity, supports jobs, and returns revenue to local and state government. The return on investment number speaks for itself.
