On November 30th, Dr. Carly Hilinski-Rosick, Assistant Professor of Criminology at The University of Tampa, spoke to a packed room of Honors Program students about revenge porn. One of her research interests is victimization, and revenge porn is an increasingly common form of victimization. She presented some of the results of her recent survey of UT students and discussed the consequences of revenge porn.

Students in Dr. Chris Gurrie’s Honors Speech for Business and the Professions class recently participated in the Leadership Challenge Ropes Course. Students worked together in groups, focusing on challenges that would enhance their communication competency. Charles Yezak and his student leader, Faith, led the students through obstacles and then discussed the purpose of each obstacle and how it related to communication and teamwork. Purposeful communication in teams won the day, illustrating how vitally important working as a team is in business communication and life. These are the kinds of enhancements that are added to Honors Courses at UT.
In conjunction with the Departments of Political Science and Speech, the Honors Program at UT sponsored Presidential Debate and Election Night watch parties this Fall. Hundreds of students turned out for the various watch parties. They had a chance to enjoy some drinks and snacks during the debates and the election. They also got to participate in discussions led by professors after the debates and election ended. Regardless of the election outcome, the Honors Program at UT encourages students to be politically informed and engaged citizens.
