Passions as Planned since time began ;-)

Mr. Weaver dreamed about DOING this after a death experience brought deeper understanding and cleared his passions in 1980!

He was first hired at USF in June of 2005 as an RA with Dr. Jermier for the Journal Organization & Environment, while pursuing an MBA.  During this time, he helped Dr. Jermier complete the first Strategic Plan for the Dr. Kiran C. Patel Center for Global Solutions, as requested by Dr. Mark Amen, the Academic Director.  Then in 2006, he helped to complete the Sustainability Analysis of USF: Advocating The Creation of a USF Office of Sustainability.  This plan proposed to reconfigure the university recycling systems to fund the Office of Sustainability.  In May 2008 he became an RA employed by the Patel Center sponsored the Journal Organization & Environment.  By this time, Dr's Nord and Jermier had convinced Mr. Weaver to pursue a PhD, and he was accepted to Public Health and Engineering where he proposed a Dual-Degree.

Today, Mr. Weaver continues this dream now as the TA for the MA Program at the Patel Center; AND works with the Office or Sustainability.  He has now completed all his doctoral course work and beginning his engineering research as a Civil Engineer Doctorate Candidate.  Last week he published Sustainable Development for People or Profit?  in the Journal Suburban Sustainability.  Please support our developing scholars at the Patel Center by reading his work and creating a Community of Practice in Tampa Bay.
