April 28 - Join the UWF College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities for an evening withUWF President Emeritus and anthropology Professor Dr. Judy Bense as she discusses “Presidios of Spanish West Florida.” The event, held at Voices of Pensacola, will begin with a 5:30 p.m. reception followed by a talk and book signing.

Copies of Bense’s “Presidios of Spanish West Florida” will be available for purchase at the event.

Bense’s “Presidios of Spanish West Florida” is published through University Press of Florida, and is a landmark study of Spain's fortified settlements in West Florida. The publication is a result of Bense’s research as a lifelong specialist. The book provides the first comprehensive synthesis of historical and archaeological investigations conducted at the fortified settlements built by Spain in the Florida panhandle from 1698 to 1763. This landmark study brings to light four presidia locations that have long been overshadowed by the presidia at St. Augustine to the east, revealing the rest of the story of early Spanish Florida.

The event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is not required. Contact: casshcommunications@uwf.edu

Two Tracks, One Empowering Day for People with Movement Disorders and their Loved Ones




When you’re a care partner or adult child, the questions you have about caring for and coping with your loved one’s movement disorder are different than the questions and concerns of your loved one. Our Renew! Retreat fills that gap, providing a two-track, in-person, FUN program that meets each person’s unique needs: care partners and adult children deep-dive into connection and knowledge in one room, while people with movement disorders learn in an uplifting environment in a separate “clubhouse” room.


This is your chance to interact with experts about your experience, ask your most pressing questions in a safe space, and connect with peers in a lively, playful gathering.

*Please park in Lot K. Parking is free, but the venue requires all vehicles parking to be registered in their system. You can register your car here: https://uwf.edu/finance-and-administration/departments/business-and-auxiliary-services/parking-and-transportation/event-parking-permit/ *

Arrivals and Exhibits: 9:00 AM MT
Program: 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM MT
Track One: People with Parkinson’s
Track Two: Care Partners and Adult Children


What’s In It for You:
Show up together. If you’re a care partner or adult child, your loved one with PD, or other movement disorder, will be supported in their program track. This is your safe space to talk about what matters most to you. Hear from and interact with expert speakers and experience a movement break that’s tailored to you, led by movement disorder wellness leaders. Spark connections with people who know what it’s like to be in your shoes. Talk about your most pressing concerns and listen to your peers share their concerns and experiences. Get access to the empowering resources you need. Feel renewed in your knowledge and your ability to take on PD or other movement disorder!

You’re invited!
