From the grand opening of the new Judy Genshaft Honors College building on the University of South Florida’s (USF) Tampa campus to events like the Climate Teach-in, Microsoft X USF Hackathon Kickoff, and Honors Symposium, 2023 was an action-packed year for the college.  

Fortunately, Honors Bulls love to stay busy and 2024 shows no signs of slowing down. From returning staples like the Off the Wall Fine and Performing Arts Festival to new opportunities like the beyond the classroom experience to Japan – there is no shortage of things to get excited about this year.  

Recently, Honors News asked Honors students, faculty, and staff what they were looking forward to most as we begin the new year and the start of Spring semester.
