Up from the sea, the wild north wind is blowing
Under the sky's gray arch;
Smiling I watch the shaken elm boughs, knowing
It is the wind of March.
--John Greenleaf Whittier, The Wind of March

UWC Update:
There are two key features of the University Writing Center (UWC) presence on the Rosen campus:
Exhibit on the African American Baseball Experience
UCF's main campus library will be hosting a major series of programs and exhibits exploring the African American baseball experience and related themes:
"Pride & Passion: The African American Baseball Experience"
March 5 - April 15, 2010
At the main UCF Library, Orlando Campus
The UCF Libraries was selected as one of 50 nationwide sites for this exhibition, which was organized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the American Library Association and funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Baseball fans and history buffs of all kinds will find something to enjoy in the UCF Libraries' six-week series of exhibits and festivities, including exhibits and paintings, talks by baseball scholars, a panel of former Negro League players, and more!
For more information, and a full listing of events and exhibitions, please visit the UCF Libraries' Pride & Passion website.
Rosen Connection:
Rosen's Head Librarian, Tim Bottorff, is heavily involved in the planning and execution of UCF's Pride & Passion exhibition and programming. Tim got his start in librarianship at the National Baseball Library, part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
