On Friday, Nov. 8, the Judy Genshaft Honors College hosted its first-ever Honors Homecoming
Alumni Social at the college’s state-of-the-art building on the University of South
Florida’s Tampa campus. The event welcomed alumni back to reconnect with old friends,
network with faculty and staff, and tour the college’s new home ahead of the annual Homecoming parade and new on-campus stadium groundbreaking.
Dean Charles Adams, who served as master of ceremonies, welcomed guests and highlighted
the importance of alumni connections to the Honors College’s success. “Our alumni
are very much at the heart of this college. Your achievements and support inspire
our students and help us build a stronger future together,” Adams said.

The social was an opportunity for alumni to reflect on their experiences, share their
journeys since graduating, and engage with updates about the college. Attendees enjoyed
light refreshments while catching up with peers and learning about upcoming alumni
initiatives, including the planned launch of the Judy Genshaft Honors College Alumni
Society in 2025.
“The Judy Genshaft Honors College is proud of its alumni network and excited to create
more opportunities for alumni to stay connected and engaged,” said Dr. Reginald Lucien,
assistant dean for student success. “Whether through mentoring, internships, or scholarships,
we are continually seeking ways to involve our alumni in supporting current students
and strengthening the college community.”
Plans are already underway for future events to build on the success of this year’s social. Alumni interested in becoming involved are encouraged to watch their email, follow the Judy Genshaft Honors College on social media, and reach out to share ideas or learn about ways to contribute.
