“USF is truly unstoppable.”

The University of South Florida is prepared to lead us into the future by supplying the solutions, the knowledge and the human capital necessary to thrive as a society and as a people. Whether it means pursuing green initiatives to create a more sustainable world, promoting sophisticated research to cure diseases that have vexed us for centuries, or enhancing our quality of life through exploration of the arts and humanities, USF faculty members and students are at the forefront.

In only five decades, we have accomplished amazing feats few would have believed possible. Though we originally opened our doors to serve a regional population, our founders and those who came after them had something much bigger in mind. Fueled by a can-do attitude and an energetic, entrepreneurial spirit, we have become not only one of the largest public institutions in the country, but also one of the most important. The caliber of our students, the quality of our faculty and the ascent of our athletics programs speak of a force to be reckoned with—an unstoppable force determined to produce what our country and world need.

Every day, you, your neighbors and countless others beyond our borders are touched by some aspect of the University of South Florida. This is a bold and definitive statement, but the collective evidence in support of such a declaration is undeniable.

No single resource in the Tampa Bay region educates, influences and impacts more people, both locally and globally, than USF.

USF is truly unstoppable. We are poised, with the help of the USF: Unstoppable Campaign and generous financial support from people like you who believe in forward thinking, to be one of the best metropolitan research universities in the country. Our future—and yours—will be a sight to behold.
