I attended Dr. Edmund Abaka's
HIS 202, History of Africa II, course this week. Dr. Abaka is definitely one of our (many) star professors. He's passionate about what he teaches and truly takes an interest in what his students learn from him. He's trying a new initiative this semester, to bring Africana Studies outside of the classroom. His program of activities this semester focus on African Diaspora Music. Everyone should take a class with Dr. Abaka.

On the way back from Dr. Abaka's class, I stopped at our pep rally. We played FIU this past weekend. I guess Sebastian worked his magic at this pep rally and the game because we won!
What I thought was pretty neat was that UM student government purchased about 3,000 tickets so that FIU students could go to the game.
It's great...to be...a Miami Hurricane! Go 'Canes!
