Police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance rushed to the Administration Building on Wednesday afternoon, responding to a call that a University official had suddenly collapsed.
USF Foundation board member Robert Dressler was giving a speech to the University Investment Committee when he suddenly appeared to have difficulty breathing and toppled over, said University spokesman Michael Hoad. Dressler was put into an ambulance and taken to the University Community Hospital.
Luca Patuelli has toured the world, breakdancing in Japan, France, Canada and cities throughout the United States. What sets him apart from other breakdancers, however, is that he does it all despite a muscle disorder that prevents him from being able to walk without the aid of crutches.
Known by his performing moniker “Lazylegz,” Patuelli will be speaking tonight at the Marshall Student Center as part of a Cultural Diversity Awareness series called “Breaking the Crutch of Disability.”
