The historic invitation provides new federal funding opportunities for USF research, strengthens our role in meeting workforce demands and attracts the brightest faculty, staff and students to Tampa Bay.
University
Friends and families filled USF’s Yuengling Center to watch their 2024 graduates walk across the stage – fulfilling a long-awaited dream for many after the pandemic canceled their high school graduation ceremonies.
Research
From leading forecasting efforts, to helping inform families on how to protect themselves from rising costs, USF researchers are involved in a number of innovative endeavors and public initiatives to better prepare communities for the next hurricane.
Athletics
On top of the overall men's championship, six program records were set during the three-day meet. The Bulls were also awarded Freshman of the Year, Most Valuable Performance and Coaching Staff of the Year.
USF’s historic invitation to join the Association of American Universities has taken what many in Tampa Bay have once considered a “best-kept secret” to an unprecedented new level. Joining the AAU is a tremendous milestone for USF as it formalizes USF's position as a leading research university. USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as an AAU member.
