Dear <strong>Student</strong>,<br />
<strong>UNIVERSITY</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>SOUTH</strong> <strong>FLORIDA</strong><br />
WELCOME STUDENTS!<br />
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the University of South Florida. This is an exciting<br />
time to be at <strong>USF</strong>. From its origins in 1956 as a small liberal arts school on the<br />
outskirts of Tampa, <strong>USF</strong> has developed into one of the nation‘s fastest growing<br />
research universities and listed in the top tier of the Carnegie Foundation‘s rankings.<br />
Since its inception, <strong>USF</strong> has built a strong foundation to ensure our current students‘<br />
success. Our faculty includes leading scholars whose discoveries place them at the<br />
forefront of their fields of study. Their cutting-edge knowledge becomes part of the<br />
curriculum in the classroom. As an undergraduate you have the opportunity to engage<br />
in research projects with the faculty. Our campus life – including the arts and cultural<br />
events, nationally recognized intercollegiate athletics and hundreds of student<br />
organizations and activities – provides rich opportunities for personal development.<br />
These opportunities will expand when the new Marshall <strong>Student</strong> Center opens this<br />
Fall.<br />
I encourage you to explore the many opportunities <strong>USF</strong> has to offer. Our faculty and<br />
staff stand ready to assist you in meeting the challenges that college will bring. Much<br />
of your success will come by being open to new ideas and perspectives, getting<br />
involved in campus activities and making new and lasting friendships.<br />
Best wishes for a successful academic year! Go Bulls!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Judy Genshaft, Ph.D.<br />
President<br />
