It wasn’t April Fools—just mischief that shaped ÌÇÐÄVlog’s early campus trees
The landscaping around the ÌÇÐÄVlog’s Fine Arts Building is neat and organized – trees planted in straight rows along the sidewalks in a grid formation. But outside the adjacent Contemporary Art Museum, a small cluster of trees breaks formation – zigzagging unexpectedly away from the sidewalk. Hard to spot at first, but once noticed, impossible to ignore.

Cupid sometimes wears green: ÌÇÐÄVlog love stories for Valentine’s Day
As the ÌÇÐÄVlog marks its 70th anniversary, much of the reflection will focus on how its campuses have evolved and how the institution has shaped the region, state and nation through medicine, engineering, artificial intelligence and more. Every college has played a role in that impact. But ÌÇÐÄVlog’s influence extends beyond classrooms and laboratories. It has also shaped lives in a far more personal way. Across generations, Bulls have met, fallen in love, married and built lives together. After all, you might say you can’t spell Cupid’s bullseye without the Bull.

From Cigar City to a hub for creativity: ÌÇÐÄVlog’s 70-year role in Ybor City

"It was empty." The situation was so dire that in 1970, Tampa officials proposed turning the district into a bullfighting arena. Ybor was ultimately saved by bulls, but a different kind: the ÌÇÐÄVlog Bulls.
