Expectations are high for USF Network Canada. Set to launch in the Fall of 2024, it has a potential membership of over 2,300 individuals engaged with the country either personally and/or professionally, including more than 980 USF alumni currently residing in Canada (according to LinkedIn). Out of all of USF’s co-publishing academic institutions, University of Toronto and University of British Columbia are the top two, while McGill University and McMaster University occupy spots six and seven in the top ten. In fact, between 2018 and 2023, USF faculty co-produced an astounding 1,241 publications with Canadian counterparts. The university's ties with the country also extend to the 490 students who have chosen Canada as their study abroad destination since 2013, and the many Canadian students who chose to study in Tampa Bay each year. Beyond USF’s campuses, the Tampa Bay community is deeply connected to Canada through trade, business, real estate, the Canada-Florida Chamber of Commerce, and Sarasota’s Canadian sister city, Hamilton.
