Great American Teach-In

The University of South Florida actively takes part in the Great American Teach-In, providing a unique platform for our dedicated faculty and staff to forge meaningful connections with local schools. Following the resounding success of last year's inaugural effort, where over 100 USF faculty and staff members dedicated their time to the cause, our university expanded its reach by visiting more than 30 schools in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, impacting over 2,000 local students.
