Lynn on the little screen
With the Oscars on my mind and a few pieces of news to share, I thought I’d pass along some links for Lynn University people and events on the little screen. First, a month or so ago CSPAN aired its recording of our second Dialogues of Innovation speaker, Princeton professor and author Melissa Harris-Lacewell. That lecture, filmed before a packed house in January, is now available online – check it out. (And yes, I realize they list the lecture as having occurred at Princeton in the preview window – but the actual segment that aired gets it right.)
The star of 'Burn Notice'… that is, the star after our own Mr. Simpson.
Potentially more exciting than that (hard to imagine as that is), one of Lynn’s own had a role in Friday’s episode of the USA Network hit ‘Burn Notice.‘ Drama department chair Adam Simpson was on the show (see full episode online) playing a boat captain and trafficker. If you’re in a hurry, you can find Adam by back tracking 17:28 from the end. Adam, you may remember, was one of the faculty members that led the January Term course that performed original works off Broadway in NYC this year.
Also on the tube on Friday was residence hall director Christina Johnson who ‘won’ SGA’s “Kiss a Pig” competition Friday afternoon. CBS 12 was there to catch Christina in the act of a six second smooch – possibly the longest six seconds in recorded history. I’m without a link at the moment but once I get it I’ll upload. We’ll definitely have it on the Lynn University Facebook page in a day or two. Check it out.

We watch this show every week and were SO excited to see Adam in the episode last Thursday! He was the best “human smuggler” I’ve ever seen!
