Shaping What's Next

Welcome to the Judy Genshaft Honors College

70 Years, Countless Stories

In 2026, USF celebrates its 70th anniversary — a milestone that invites reflection on how far we’ve come. From our founding as a modest Honors program with fewer than 20 students to a thriving Honors community of more than 2,500 students and nearly 10,000 alumni, we are charting a bold path forward. Follow USF70 throughout the year as we look back, celebrate, and get ready for what’s next.
