Join the South Tampa Chamber as we welcome the new hire teachers to our 17 area schools. Each teacher will receive a goody bag filled with school supplies and person gifts from local businesses. School Supply Drive Frequently Asked Questions How many items do you need? We are preparing welcome bags for approximately 150 newly hired teachers across South Tampa schools. While larger donations are appreciated, we are grateful for contributions of any size.   Can I donate branded or logo items? Yes! We welcome branded promotional items, coupons, gift cards, and other useful resources that can help teachers feel supported and connected to the community.   When do you need materials? To guarantee inclusion in the teacher welcome bags, all donated items must be received by July 27.   When and how will the bags be distributed? The South Tampa Chamber has partnered with 17 South Tampa area schools. We work directly with school principals to identify newly hired teachers. Chamber members may sponsor a school and participate in delivering welcome bags during New Teacher Week, August 3–7.   What types of items are most needed? School supplies, classroom essentials, gift cards, office supplies, self-care items, and community resources are all appreciated. We encourage donations that help teachers both in the classroom and personally as they begin the school year.   Can my company sponsor an entire school? Yes. Sponsorship opportunities are available for members who would like to support a specific school and participate in delivering welcome bags to new teachers.   Are monetary donations accepted? Yes. Monetary contributions can be used to purchase needed supplies and fill gaps in teacher welcome bags.   Can non-members participate? Absolutely. We welcome support from businesses, organizations, and individuals who want to invest in local educators.   Where can I drop off donations? Donations may be delivered to the South Tampa Chamber office Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. After hours, a donation box will be available inside the building's main hallway. Please contact our team if you need assistance coordinating a larger donation.   I don't have time to shop. Is there an easier way to contribute? Absolutely! You can purchase items directly from our Amazon Wish List and have them shipped straight to the South Tampa Chamber office. This is a convenient way to support local teachers if you're short on time or unable to drop off supplies in person.   Interested in hosting a supply drive? We would love your help! The Chamber can provide marketing materials and graphics to support your efforts. Chamber member businesses are encouraged to serve as collection sites or host supply drives for employees, customers, clients, or community members.   How will donors be recognized? Participating businesses and organizations may be recognized through Chamber communications, social media, event promotions, and other marketing opportunities, depending on their level of participation.   Why is the Chamber leading this initiative? Supporting educators strengthens our schools, our workforce, and our community. This initiative connects local businesses with the teachers who help shape South Tampa's future leaders.   Who can I contact with questions? Please contact Events Manager Emily Lighthall at events@southtampachamber.org for additional information about donations, sponsorship opportunities, school partnerships, hosting a supply drive, or making a contribution.

The eighth annual "International Photography Competition" opens Monday at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA). Sponsored by Creative Loafing, photographers from all over the world submitted more than 700 entries in the following categories: People and Portraits; Places, Landscapes and Drone photography; Nature, Science and Animals; Documentary/Social and Political Photojournalism; Still Life; Abstract; and Conceptual. A panel of local curators and artists judged the submissions and selected the top three images from each of the seven categories. One additional image was voted People's Choice winner by participating photographers and their peers, bringing the total number of images in the exhibition to 22. Other than U.S.-based photographers, the final exhibition lineup includes contestants from Belgium, Austria, Israel and New Zealand. "Our jurors had such a difficult job selecting winners this year," said FMoPA Executive Director Zora Carrier, Ph.D. "We received so many powerful and significant submissions that it was nearly impossible to narrow it down to only 22. This year's exhibition features strong and individual perspectives and truly remarkable photography." In addition to being exhibited in the museum's Community Gallery, the winners' work also will be exhibited on FMoPA's exterior LED sign. This year, the photograph that received the highest score from the competition's jurors was submitted by Kevin Barney, who entered his image "Caged" in the Nature, Science and Animals category. Barney will receive a $1,000 cash prize.

Guided by an early understanding—learned from his father, who was a teacher and a school principal—that education changes lives and is a powerful driver of opportunity, Limayem has devoted more than 35 years in higher education to advancing academic excellence, student and faculty success, research and innovation, and community engagement. He previously served as the Lynn Pippenger Dean of USF's Muma College of Business, leading the nationally ranked business school from 2012 until he was named UNF president in 2022. Limayem earned his MBA and doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota and he has held academic leadership roles at the University of Arkansas and internationally.

The eighth annual "International Photography Competition" opens Monday at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA). Sponsored by Creative Loafing, photographers from all over the world submitted more than 700 entries in the following categories: People and Portraits; Places, Landscapes and Drone photography; Nature, Science and Animals; Documentary/Social and Political Photojournalism; Still Life; Abstract; and Conceptual. A panel of local curators and artists judged the submissions and selected the top three images from each of the seven categories. One additional image was voted People's Choice winner by participating photographers and their peers, bringing the total number of images in the exhibition to 22. Other than U.S.-based photographers, the final exhibition lineup includes contestants from Belgium, Austria, Israel and New Zealand. "Our jurors had such a difficult job selecting winners this year," said FMoPA Executive Director Zora Carrier, Ph.D. "We received so many powerful and significant submissions that it was nearly impossible to narrow it down to only 22. This year's exhibition features strong and individual perspectives and truly remarkable photography." In addition to being exhibited in the museum's Community Gallery, the winners' work also will be exhibited on FMoPA's exterior LED sign. This year, the photograph that received the highest score from the competition's jurors was submitted by Kevin Barney, who entered his image "Caged" in the Nature, Science and Animals category. Barney will receive a $1,000 cash prize.
