Last week I was proud to join students, faculty and staff at several USF Week events celebrating university pride and recognizing our history. As a long-time fan of fast cars, I greatly enjoyed the "need for speed” theme of Rocky’s birthday bash, where I tried my hand at bumper cars and micro-car racing! USF has had such a positive impact on so many lives since our founding in 1956 and we are poised for even greater achievements in the future.
I also wish to thank everyone who participated in USF Giving Week in support of our students and programs. During the week, the USF Federal Credit Union announced a gift of more than $1 million that will benefit programs across the university, including scholarships for students in the Latino Scholarship Program, Black Leadership Network and College of Nursing, as well as a first-of-its-kind scholarship for student veterans. We are deeply grateful for USF Federal Credit Union’s decades-long history of supporting our community.
