This channel is a place for students of the Sports, Rhetoric, and Society class at Florida International University to upload short videos and PSAs about the research they have done during the Fall 2021 semester. In these videos, Dr. Elmore’s students explore issues related to the intersections of sports and gender, race, class, diversity, community, language, etc.
A Tumblr blog created by FIU Student Joshue Lemus under the guidance of professor Darrel Elmore.
For this project, I really wanted to give my audience an understanding of why I had chosen to volunteer for Love For Our Elders. The volunteering experience was very personal to me, therefore, I wanted this to be reflected in my blog. I was also heavily inspired by the organization itself, and as a result, wanted to create something that would promote them in some way. Therefore, I created a flyer using a program called Pixlr. Overall, I loved volunteering for Love For Our Elders and devoting myself to this organization. Not only was it fun, but it was also incredibly inspiring and motivating. I can definitely see myself doing more with them in the future. And with this project, I really hope to inspire others to check them out and participate.

I wrote about my volunteering experience for Feeding South Florida.
The assignment asked to create a blog after working with a nonprofit organization. I don’t have ample experience with volunteering, and I had a great time working with FSF. It was my first time designing a website and writing a personal blog.

I wrote about my experience organizing a local food drive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing guidelines made this more challenging than it otherwise would have been, but I am proud to have made a difference in my community despite some setbacks. Go Panthers!
