I Belong: USF Week
Fall 2024
Join the celebration October 1 through October 9!
"I Belong: USF Week" aims to educate students about resources on campus, engage in community building, and cultivate a sense of belonging among students, faculty and staff from all backgrounds. It's a grass-roots effort organized by members of the College of Arts and Sciences. The first "I Belong: USF Week" was held last spring and was a week-long initiative across all three campuses. This semester, we've expanded the initiative to a week and half. We'll be adding more events as dates and times are confirmed, so please refer to this event webpage for more updates.
