USF Housing & Residential Education is hard at work preparing for a safe and successful move-in process for our residents. This year, we are excited to bring back the Bull Haul program!

Bull Haul is the USF Grand Opening Move-In Day experience where individuals volunteer to assist other students with the move-in process on the USF Tampa campus. Bull Haul is one of USF's best traditions for building community, making connections, and sharing Bull pride. Show that you are driven to help out your fellow Bulls by contributing to our campus community where it is the Best place to Live, the Best place to Work, and the Best place to Learn.

What will Bull Haul volunteers do?

  • Bull Haul volunteers will complete one 5-hour volunteer shift on August 18.
