 Over the past week, Dean Serovich has been conducting unit tours to encourage employees to give to the USF Faculty/Staff Campaign. She handed out lip balm as an incentive. If you weren't in your office when she stopped by, the lip balm was placed in your mailbox. You can still contribute to the campaign this year by clicking on the link below. If you didn't get your lip balm, please contact Patty Cleveland in the Dean's Office. Thanks for your ongoing support of this important USF initiative. Donate here.

The 2016 Supervisor Speaker Series is a series of workshops designed to address the most pressing uses that our supervisors face on a daily basis. Supervisors and staff who provide support to HR functions may attend any or all of the workshops throughout the year to help develop skills as a supervisor.
In this seminar, Meica Elridge will discuss everything you need to know (and do) to handle a Worker's Compensation situation in the office. If an employee notifies you that he/she has been injured on the job, would you be able to provide guidance in a timely and effective manner? When your employee's health is on the line, you need to be prepared to spring into action. This seminar will arm you with the tools and information to provide that service and direction.

New study finds vast racial and geographic disparities in Florida executions
SaintPetersBlog.com
"This research raises troubling questions about the administration of the death penalty in Florida," said John K. Cochran, a professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of South Florida. "The race or gender of a victim, and the location of the crime, should not influence who is sentenced to die, but this new study shows that it does. Florida citizens and lawmakers should review the findings of this important research."
Using a kitchen to stir up patients' food memories
Sun Sentinel
MorseLife's open kitchen is an unusual amenity, said Kathryn Hyer, a University of South Florida professor of aging studies, but it likely will become increasingly popular as facilities for senior citizens move away from impersonal institutionalization into "person-centered care," with an emphasis on each senior's preferences and life goals.
