Dear USF community,
On Monday, the University of South Florida joins our nation in observing Memorial
Day. This is our opportunity to remember and honor the men and women who have lost
their lives while serving our great country.
As we take time off and celebrate the unofficial start to summer, I encourage us to
reflect on the sacrifices of our active military, our veterans and their families.
We are deeply grateful for your service.
With thanks,
President Currall
