On October 18th, USF World proudly co-hosted the 2023 Fulbright Celebration Breakfast with the USF Judy Genshaft Honors College. The annual gathering highlights the University of South Florida’s commitment to global engagement as a top producer of faculty and student Fulbright awardees over the years.
