Pensacola State first-year photography student Davan Royster moved slowly through the College’s Switzer Gallery, taking in every bit of the compelling artwork of Sue Havens, whose “Cull+” exhibition is now on display.

And there was a lot to take in, especially as Royster studied a large “Brick & Mortar” design, a city-grid inspired piece of art that can be deceiving, depending on one’s perspective – almost a “forest for the trees” situation.

“It’s really great,’’ said Royster, a U.S. Navy veteran. “The colors and shapes in the design just draw you in. It’s like it is its own world.”

Royster was one of many who attended the opening reception for Havens’ “Cull+” exhibition, which is on display in the Switzer Gallery of the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts through Sept. 23.

Pensacola State International Festival set for April 15

Performers, vendors, volunteers, sponsors are needed

How many cultures are represented at Pensacola State College? In Northwest Florida? The Gulf Coast and the American South?

That’s right, the proverbial melting pot is more of a flavorful gumbo in this neck of the woods where so many cultures intermingle, coexist and, at best, flourish.

Speaking of gumbo, we’re betting there’s going to be some for the tasting at the 2023 PSC International Festival scheduled for April 15 on the Pensacola campus.

PSC observes Suicide Prevention Month with walk, panel discussions, mental health screenings, more

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts it bluntly:

“Suicide is a serious public health problem …and is a leading cause of death” in the United States.

How bad is it? There is a suicide in the United States every 11 minutes according to the CDC. For military veterans, the statistics are grimmer – veterans have an adjusted suicide rate that is 52 percent greater than the civilian population.

That’s why Pensacola State College will start its September observance of Suicide Prevention Month with a veterans-sponsored suicide awareness walk on Thursday, Sept. 1, on the Pensacola campus track.

Pensacola State-built mini house is ready, should last 200 years

Some first-time homeowner is going to get an awesome home. So awesome that it could be the only home they’ll ever need to buy.

“This is a 200-year house with the proper maintenance and care,’’ said Tony Grahame, Pensacola State College Carpentry Program Coordinator, as he stood on the covered porch of the 600-square-foot mini-home on Tarragona Street. “It’s an exceptional example of good building-science practices and the students’ amazing work.”
