“The Slow Flip”
Sept. 27, 5:30 p.m.
Steve Jones, founder of bet-
tershelter - a boutique real
estate company - is out to
transform the notion of what
a flipped home can be, us
ing various elements of de
sign and architecture. His
company creates innovative
residential communities and
homes and has been instru
mental in the transformation
of northeast Los Angeles real

notion of a flipped home.
“The Future City: Why
Meddle With a Good
Thing?”
Oct. 4, 5:30 p.m.
Men invented cities to escape
barbarism and live nobly and
well, and they invented and
constantly adapted archi
tecture to facilitate that pur
pose. Have we seen the end
of that history? Carroll Wil
liam Westfall, a renowned
architectural historian and
the Frank Montana Professor
in the School of Architecture
at the University of Notre
Dame, will discuss this im
portant question during his
lecture. As a specialist in
both Italian Renaissance and
American architecture, West-
fall has focused largely on
the relationship between ar
chitecture and politics in the
history of urban form in his
books and articles. Addition
al lectures will be announced
at a later date. For more in

Local Schools to Hold School
Students at Savan
nah State University are hold
ing their first annual Tiger
Pride School Supply Drive for
Shuman Elementary students.
Hosted by Savannah State’s
“Big 15” Sophomore Class,
this school supply drive in
volves Savannah State and
local community members.
The partnership be
gan when Savannah State’s
sophomore class President
De’Anthony Bishop volun
teered at Shuman Elementary
last year. He represented a
service organization, Achiev
ers for Today and Tomorrow,
and together they provided
mentorships. He built a solid
connection with the students
and developed an idea for a
school supply drive to con
tinue what they started.
“Our sole purpose is
to give these young men and
women the tools needed in
the classroom
that will support them as the
successful young scholars I
know they can be,” explained
Bishop.
Bishop started this
project with his Sophomore
Class and later wanted the en
tire campus to get
involved. He shared the idea
with Shuman principal Mari
lyn McDonald and several
local businesses. Their goal
is to collect 1,000 boxes of
school supplies to donate to
the students by
Sept. 30.
Drop boxes for
school supplies are located
at the King Frazier Student
Center and all housing
facilities at Savannah State
University.
