MANATEE RESCUE: A young manatee with wounds from a watercraft incident and shark bites was rescued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/young-manatee-with-wounds-from-watercraft-shark-rescued-in-st-petersburg/

Hello Waterfront Alumni!

I've been speaking with a few Eckerd colleagues, trying to figure out what Brown Hall looked like in the 70s/80s when the game room, bowling alley, pub, snack bar, etc. were there before the changes were made to create what is there today. Does anyone have photos or information that might help us with our curiosity?

Thank you for your help!

EckerdGives2026 was a huge success! The goal of 1500 donors was reached and our own Krista Park '22 clinched the win as top Ambassador, encouraging 61 donors to make a gift to the Waterfront. Thank you to those who came through in the final hours of our effort: David Borowski, Tanner McNulty, Mark Verrico, Ella Crosby, Natalie Johnson, Maiah Brush, Josie Hook, Lynn Rogahn, Garrett Monfre, Eric Lundin, Jordan Kuperberg, Alex Creed, Josh Wallace, Hannak Cox, Aaron Cox, Rick Wiatroski, Cory and Rick Scheibe, Alice Best, Jin Brurgess, Zach Raves, Dave Stepanek, Shay Dooley, and Leila Koenig!

Thanks to everyone that made a donation to ensure the Waterfront can continue to provide the programming and support to all of Eckerd College!

The giving continues! We appreciate the support of all of you who have stepped up and made a donation to keep the Waterfront near the top of the leader board! Thank you Mallory Bassett, Krista Park, Karen McNeal, Renee Register, Heather Adams, Hans Johnson, Emma O'Conner, Conner Globenfelt, Jordan Kuperberg, and Mark Allen!

Have you ever wanted to smack Renee Register or Krista Park in the face with a pie? HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!

One of the highlights of ECKERD GIVES day tomorrow is the Pie a Professor event! The Waterfront will be represented by Krista Park, our EC-SAR Coordinator of Training and Operations, and Renee! They are scheduled for 15 minutes beginning at 12:45 tomorrow. If you are here on campus, a gift of $10 to the Waterfront will buy you two opportunities to hit one of them. If you want to join in from afar, you can make a gift of $25 to the Waterfront before 10am tomorrow morning and a photo of Krista or Renee receiving your specially ordered pie in the face will be sent to you. Join in for the fun!

As we gear up for EckerdGives 2026 activities tomorrow, we already have donors to thank! Victoria Rosadom, Meriam Senoussi, Daphne Booth, Jessica Dalrymple, G.A. Galbraith, Randall Pike, Henry Cowhey, Bradley Buck, Diane Riggan, Todd Kelley, Mo Eppley, Christopher Maraghy, and Jenn and Chris Martin. Thank you all for your continued support!
