UPCOMING EVENTS

NOTEWORTHY ACCOLADES

The USF Faculty & Staff Campaign

celebrated the completion of the

fourth annual Faculty & Staff Cam-

paign Challenge. Thank you — Ken

Short and Cheryl Thole, who were

this year’s Co-Chairs. This year’s

Challenge, titled the “U ROCK Chal-

lenge,” invited University areas lo-

cated on the Tampa campus to par-

ticipate in a month-long competition to

reach their participation goals. CUTR had a

participation rate of 97%! To celebrate the success of the Challenge, the event

showcased the “Best Dressed Rock Star” competition between the 15 partici-

pating University leaders. Judged by the large crowd of employees in atten-

dance, the winner was our very own, Ken Short representing the College of

Engineering. Congratulations for winning the Gold Album trophy in the first

ever “Best Dressed Rock Star” Competition!

Ken Short, aka Paul Stanley KISS and
