| Good morning. It's Monday, May 2. Community leaders in Winter Park honored Thad Seymour, the 12th president of Rollins College, for his work at the school and in the community. The mayor declared May 1 Thaddeus Seymour Day in the city. Six teams have submitted proposals to design and construct the initial buildings for University of Central Florida's downtown campus. A committee will select semi-finalists and recommend a team to UCF President John Hitt by June 17. In honor of the renaming of the Citrus Bowl to Camping World Stadium, check out photos of some of the worst stadium and arena names in sports. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great day. The Seymours moved from Indiana as Thad Seymour took the job as the 12th president of Rollins College in 1978, and through his volunteerism, sharp wit and fierce commitment to community, he became an iconic figure in Winter Park, the town he still lives in nearly 40 years later.
