Another milestone in USF’s continued momentum: a record $775M in research funding in FY2026! Behind that number are faculty, researchers and partners advancing work in health, cybersecurity, transportation and more, turning discovery into real-world impact. Proud of the entire #USF community making it possible. 🤘

After a career spent transforming Nashville’s skyline, USF Distinguished Alumni Award recipient Tony Giarratana knows what it takes to bring a bold vision to life. It was great to have him in town this week. Glad we had the chance to share a firsthand look at the progress of #USF’s on-campus stadium and the exciting momentum across our university! Go Bulls!!! 🤘

It was a pleasure to welcome Rick Skaggs and Keith McIntyre for a tour of our future on-campus stadium today. Seeing the progress firsthand is a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when we come together in support of students, student-athletes, and the university community. I’m grateful for USF Credit Union’s continued support and shared commitment to USF’s success. Together, we’re creating opportunities, enhancing the student experience, and building spaces that will serve generations of Bulls. Thank you, Rick and Keith, for spending time with us today. Great things ahead!!! 🤘 @usffcu #usf

We are grateful that Florida’s two U.S. Senators Ashley Moody and Rick Scott are supporting universities in our state and their ability to succeed with college athletics moving forward. Most of the Protect College Sports Act helps restore college athletics towards a much needed national reform and is largely a step in the right direction. If the few provisions in the bill regarding conference membership are adjusted to become satisfactory, universities in our state will continue to thrive in the future. Thank you Senator Moody and Senator Scott for your strong leadership in standing up for our state.

Great to join colleagues from across the university for President Limayem's Fall Address today. His message, "Our Future Starts Now," was a powerful reminder that our momentum is driven not only by our vision, but by the actions we take every day to advance it. From record-setting student achievement and growing research impact to transformational campus investments and philanthropic support, #USF continues to demonstrate what is possible when a community works together toward a shared purpose. I left energized by the progress we've made and even more excited about the opportunities ahead.
After my first Fall Address as #USF's president, I wanted our team to know how incredibly proud I am of this university, and to feel my excitement about what comes next. I am proud of the people who change lives in ways that may never appear on a dashboard. And proud of a university that is not afraid to ask what it will take to become a model for higher education. But we cannot allow our pride to make us complacent. I challenged our USF community to imagine the university we want to be nine years from now, and to have the courage to start building it now. We know where we've been. Now it's time to show how far we're willing to go. Our future starts now.

#USF broke ground today on Uptown Landing, marking the start of construction on the nearly $500 million mixed-use development that will become a dynamic destination for students, alumni, community members, and Bulls fans. Previously known by its working title, “Fletcher District,” during the planning phase, the newly named development is expected to open in Fall 2028 — ushering in a bold new era for the university by creating a vibrant neighborhood where people can live, work, learn, and play. 🔗 Learn more about Uptown Landing: usouthflorida.com/46cQp0u
