- Career Development Luncheon, sponsored by TTX Company – employers, students and career-services professionals sit shoulder-to-shoulder to explore the challenges and opportunities of worklife and learn first-hand about the benefits liberal arts graduates bring to the workplace.
- Networking Lounge – Employers and prospects can chat in an informal, relationship-building environment.
- Skill-Building Sessions – With sponsorship from GROWMARK, Inc., Northern Trust and other key employers, students can acquire skills that help them map their careers and prepare for success.

USF students can give their Parent(s) access to view certain items in the MyUSF Portal by creating a proxy parent account. In order to accomplish this, the student can sign into their MyUSF Portal, and under the tab "For Students," click on the link "Parent Account Manager." The student will be presented with an on-line form to set up the account. Students can selectively choose to give their parent access to Schedule & Grades, Financial Aid, Transcript, Tuition Bill or Campus Residency information. Access can be given to individual items, or the student can give access to all items.
The student must provide a parent E-Mail address and assign a password for the account. By accomplishing this process, the student agrees to grant Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) access to the designated parent(s).

The cake will be held in the Alumni & Family Relations Office for pick-up on the first Monday of the student’s birthday month. Your student will be notified by telephone that they have a special birthday delivery, and that they will have until the end of that work week to pick-up their cake. All cakes will say “Happy Birthday (Name)” but you may include a special message to be printed on a card that will be attached to the cake box.
