The red carpet was rolled out to welcome the "stars" of child and family studies to
the department’s annual fall luncheon.
The luncheon was full of glitz and glamour as employees were dressed to impress. They
were greeted with a red carpet, "paparazzi," and a special appearance from USF's mascot,
Rocky the Bull.
In addition to the glamour and fun, the Oscars-themed event provided an opportunity
for the Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS) to gather and highlight the extraordinary
work of the faculty and staff and honor individuals and teams from the community who
go above and beyond to support CFS and its programs.
Congratulations to all the winners!
