Faculty and Staff Annual Campaign Update
Message from the Regional Chancellor
The University of South Florida St. Petersburg
is an institution on the move. Our enrollment increased more
than 9% last year, and we now serve more
than 4,600 students. We strive
to create a positive climate where learning and achievement
thrive. Many of our students balance academic endeavors with
the multiple demands of family and work and encounter significant
financial challenges.
I hope that you will choose to contribute
to one of the USFSP Funds at the University of South Florida
Foundation and assist our students in attaining their educational
goals. Your financial support is an investment in quality
and excellence for our students.
Below are six funds that provide direct support to students;
additional links to other campus funds are provided as well.
I hope you will consider making a donation to one of them
and help to shape the future of USFSP.
