USF & St. Petersburg - Partners in Progress

Every great city has a great university. One that supports the education of its residents, conducts important relevant research that enhances quality of life, strengthens community and economic growth, serves as an intellectual and cultural resource, and boosts the economy of the community. One with a distinctive identity that students and citizen's alike view with pride. One that demonstrates a concern for the individual and a vision for the future. In St. Petersburg, it's the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.

Connection to the Future -

USF St. Petersburg is poised to become a great metropolitan university with a distinctive identity. If city, county and corporate leaders act as advocates locally, in Tallahassee and in Washington, DC, the university can obtain the land and the financial support it needs to prosper and grow. And that benefits everyone.

The people of St. Petersburg and USF St. Petersburg have always had a special connection. Each has been a partner in the progress of the other, taking pride in the achievements that can only come from cooperation. Building on this connection can expand the educational, cultural and economic horizons of all citizens, their children and future generations.

That's what a great university, in a great city, can do.
