ONE THEME ONE COLLEGE (OTOC)

How many times over the last few years have we collectively said, “I’ve never seen anything like that before!” From climate change (Hello Hurricanes Helene and Milton!) to the omnipresence, not omniscience...yet, of AI, from the new housing developments across Southwest Florida to the new Culver’s in LaBelle, it seems no part of our lives remains static for very long. In recognition of this reality, the One Theme, One College Committee has dedicated our annual academic theme to exploring how changes are shaping our world and how we are reacting to them. We kicked off our year with an amazing lecture and discussion titled, “Screenwriting in the Age of A.I.” presented by writer and producer, Matt Lopez. The second event of our calendar looked at changes much closer to home, right here at FSW. Lee Campus SGA President Destiny Sanchez led a roundtable discussion featuring Drs. Jeffrey Allbritten, Ian Neuhard, and Rebecca Harris. Each panelist provided an assessment of the major changes that occurred during their tenure at FSW and what they expected to see happen in the future.Our signature event for the Spring semester is a talk and discussion by Dr. Sid Dobrin on Tuesday, February 18th from 10:00-11:30 in U-102. Dr. Dobrin is an English Professor at the University of Florida whose research focuses on emerging writing technologies such as A.I., Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality.In addition to our events, we’ve also collaborated with FSW Libraries to bring a selection of booksthat relate to the theme of Our Changing Worlds. Across all FSW sites, you will find book displaysprominently featured in the libraries with fiction and non-fiction book suggestions for studentswho wish to further engage with the theme.
