🌊 25 Years of Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation
The 2026-2027 manatee decal commemorates the 25th anniversary of the @mrp_manatee, a network of more than 20 organizations working together to rescue, rehabilitate, release, and monitor manatees. Take a closer look and you'll spot the satellite tracking tag featured in the artwork.
The #USF Board of Trustees elected two remarkable leaders at today's meeting. I’ve known @mikegriffinFL and Oscar for years, and I’ve seen their passion for the university and the Tampa Bay region. I am excited to work with them and our entire board as we write USF's next chapter. Our best days are ahead!
What a special @USouthFlorida Board of Trustees meeting! Well-deserved honoring of @willweatherford along w/passing of the Chair gavel to @mikegriffinFL. Two transformative leaders for our alma mater! Followed by yet another dynamic speech by @USFFootball’s @Mudia_Reuben! USF’s time is now!🤘🏻😤📈
Will Weatherford: “I love, respect, and admire everything about Mike Griffin” he says as he nominates @mikegriffinFL as USF’s new board chair.

EAGLES FLY IN HILLSBOROUGH
I couldn’t begin to imagine that I would hold a bald eagle that was nursed back to health and set her free. It wasn’t on any bucket list of mine but having had the chance to do it, I have an incredible new found respect and admiration for the animal and the people who love it enough to fight for her.
Thanks to the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Florida for dedicating themselves to such a selfless mission. It was incredibly satisfying to be a part of the release but even more so to learn about your mission and its impact on Florida. You all are incredible.
THANK YOU!
Rueben Bain Jr. said he got a text from Warren Sapp right after he was drafted telling him, “This my city,” along with well wishes. So what does he do? Reps Sapp’s 99 jersey upon his arrival for rookie camp. Wrote about him here https://t.co/Ujxtcvjbib
