When Flagler Magazine spotted Britt Corry’s “Combat for the Stage” class thrusting swords at each other on the Flagler College Auditorium steps, we thought we would ask him about the five most important things he tells students learning to fight on the stage:

Civil rights activist Andrew Young donated interviews from his documentary “Crossing in St. Augustine” to Flagler College in what will begin a new archive chronicling the historic civil rights movement in the Nation’s Oldest City.

Flagler Assistant Professor of History Michael Butler, who studies the civil rights era and Southern history, called Young’s gift a momentous occasion for the college.

Visitors to Flagler Field will be treated to a radical change this spring. Where there was once a dirt lot for cars and the barest facilities, fans and athletes attending baseball, soccer and softball matches will now find paved parking and the new Flagler Field Locker Room Facility.

Construction began in 2010 on the complex, which is on Old Moultrie Road, just a couple miles from the main campus in downtown St. Augustine.

Bestselling author Pat Conroy, known for novels “The Prince of Tides” and “The Great Santini,” visited the Flagler’s Writers-in-Residence Program in January, where he spoke to a standing-room-only crowd in the Flagler College Auditorium.

Conroy’s latest book, “My Reading Life,” revisits a life of passionate reading, including anecdotes from his school days, moving accounts of how reading pulled him through dark times, and lists of books that particularly influenced him at various stages of his life. Several of his novels have been made into feature films starring such Hollywood notables as Robert Duvall, Jon Voight, Nick Nolte and Barbara Streisand.

He is the recipient of a wide range of literary awards, most recently the 2010 Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Governor’s Award for the Arts, South Carolina, Lifetime Achievement Award.

Assistant Professor of Art Sara Pedigo, ‘03, recently won “Best in Show” for her paintings at the Fifth Annual 100% Pure Florida juried exhibition at the Fifth Avenue Gallery in Melbourne, Fla.

Pedigo’s oil-on-panel paintings, “At the Lake” and “Late Summer,” were part of the show that featured Florida artists working in a variety of subject matter and mediums.

Flagler College celebrates a decade at its second campus at Tallahassee Community College

In 2000, Flagler College opened a satellite campus at Tallahassee Community College — a first-of-its-kind partnership between a traditional private college and a two-year school.

Flagler Tallahassee Dean John Bruno calls the campus there a hidden secret. “I tell people I’m the dean of Flagler College and they say, ‘You commute all the way to St. Augustine?’ ” he said with a laugh.
