Fire crews are actively responding to a fire at th Fire crews are actively responding to a fire at the Marine Science Laboratory (MSL). 

While the cause is unclear, The Crow’s Nest received reports of either a chemical fire or a lightning strike as the cause.

At approximately 5 p.m., USF St. Petersburg students were met with sirens and a scene of smoke billowing from the peninsula of the St. Petersburg campus. University faculty and staff working near the area are being evacuated. 

The MSL is among the oldest buildings on the St. Petersburg campus, where the campus’s first classes were held in 1965. 

It was originally opened in 1939 as a maritime service training station. It currently houses research labs and faculty offices for the Marine Science Program.

This is a developing story.

She is not the only one.

Whether the next steps involve graduate school or entering the workforce, many of the seniors at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg are feeling similarly anxious and uncertain in the weeks leading up to their graduation dates.

The sophomore kicker for the University of South Florida played club soccer and only started kicking footballs in his sophomore year of high school. 

“My dad kicked, my uncle kicked and people were asking me, ‘Why don’t you come out, try it for a year and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, you can be done after one year,’” Gramatica said. “I went out, had a great time and got to make some really good friends.”

College campuses are a place where a strong sense College campuses are a place where a strong sense of community can be formed among students, but many commuter students, like junior English major Zoey Earles, feel that they have fewer opportunities to form these connections. 

“Positives [of being a commuter], I have my own apartment,” Earles said. “Negatives, I don’t make as [many] friends, and I don’t necessarily know about all the things that are happening on campus.” 

Events hosted on campus are a great way to meet people and find that sense of community, but sustainability senior Estela Najera said that being aware of events is difficult.

USF St. Petersburg Student Government Governor, El USF St. Petersburg Student Government Governor, Elise Prophete, is speaking out after not being able to give the speech she’d initially written for the annual Rocky's Leadership Award Ceremony.

“I am choosing to do what is right for me and provoke the thoughts that I hope are right for this campus. To shift the self-censoring, student-second attitudes back into a space where the stories we have are told and appreciated,” Prophete wrote.
