Community
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the University of South Florida continues to demonstrate a powerful commitment to community – mobilizing students, faculty and staff across Tampa Bay. While there’s much work to be done, many of these efforts began before the historic storm surge devastated parts of the region.
University
Based on the latest information, all campuses will remain closed until at least Saturday, Oct. 12. A decision about resuming normal class schedules on Monday, Oct. 14, will be made after teams from USF can further assess each campus and conditions around the Tampa Bay region.
Research
University of South Florida researchers are finding that music can help boost cognition in patients undergoing chemotherapy and improve respiration in adults who’ve suffered breathing difficulties following COVID-19.
USF’s historic invitation to join the Association of American Universities has taken what many in Tampa Bay have once considered a “best-kept secret” to an unprecedented new level. Being an AAU member is a tremendous milestone for USF as it formalizes USF's position as a leading research university. USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as an AAU member.
