I am delighted to welcome you to the start of the 2022 fall semester at the University of South Florida!

As the first аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢graduate to serve as president, I can’t express strongly enough how much I enjoyed my time as a student at this great university. I encourage you to get involved in the many events taking place on our three beautiful campuses during USF’s Week of Welcome and of course, our this fall!

With classes beginning and campus activities in full swing, I invite you to stay connected with me on and . I’ll be sharing updates and highlights from across our community that showcase why аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢is the best place to learn, work and grow. When you see me around campus, please feel free to come say hello, take a photo, and tag me if you post it on social media. 

This is a particularly exciting time at аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅϢ– a vibrant period of growth with new cutting-edge programs and additional state-of-the-art facilities. Our university’s momentum has helped position us to break several all-time records: 

  • This fall, we expect to enroll our largest class of first-year students.
  • More than 65,000 prospective students applied to аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅϢ– that’s 15,000 more than last year and the most ever at our university.
