DISTINGUISHED ALUMNA GERALDINE TWINE, ’78, MA ’81 and MS ’88, heaves strands of beads during the Running with the Bulls Parade at this year’s Homecoming festivities. Twine and other 2019 USF Alumni Award recipients joined the 2019 Family of the Year – Lanie, Austin and Aaron Buchanan, wife and children of USF senior Austin Buchanan – on the Alumni Association float. The parade was one of 47 Homecoming events and activities held for students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends Oct. 6-12 throughout the USF System. They included a concert and comedy show, contests, and the USF Alumni Awards dinner celebrating Twine and her fellow Distinguished Alumni, Pulitzer Prize recipient Gilbert King and National Science Medal recipient Joanna Sigfred Fowler. Alumna Dr. Anila Jain and charter USF trustees chair Richard “Dick” Beard III, a devoted friend of USF, were honored for their decades of service.
