University
The University of South Florida has broken ground on a 35,000-seat on-campus stadium, marking a significant milestone in enhancing student life and alumni engagement. Scheduled to open in fall 2027, the stadium will host USF's football and women’s lacrosse teams, and serve as a year-round venue for sports, concerts and community events.
STUDENT SUCCESS
During November, USF’s three campuses will hold several events to raise awareness of the challenges and successes of first-generation students who are often veterans.
Research
A groundbreaking new study conducted by the University of South Florida will track young people through 2050 to learn more about the long-term impacts of smartphones, social media and other digital media on individual wellbeing.
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. Being an AAU member 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.
