Jared Goldstein

Jared Goldstein is a very dedicated student and a reliable friend. He is always busy with some project or homework or assignment of some kind, but yet he always seems to make time to share a good laugh and appreciate others around him. He has always been very helpful and does his best both as an employee of Student Government and as a student working towards graduation. Since his arrival at the USF Sarasota Manatee campus, he has been taking the steps to get more involved with the students and the activities that they organize. During his year of service as an Associate Judge, he made a name for himself as a reliable student employee. Since his appointment as Deputy Financial Officer, he has not hesitated to take on new responsibility and has risen to any challenge presented to him.

Being a part of this tradition will make you a member of an elite group of students who represent the best and brightest of the USF student body. With that, why are you interested in running for Homecoming Court and what would you do to impact your campus if crowned?

I am interested in running for Homecoming Court because I know in my heart that as a student, I deserve the opportunity to represent the University of South Florida. In all of my days, weeks, and months at USF, my dedication and persistence to my work has never waivered. As I am sure many other students have experienced difficult situations while attending classes at USF, however unlike many other students, I have only become more resilient as a result of my progress. If I were crowned as Homecoming royalty, I would have a unique opportunity to make a difference on campus with the experience that my peers will have during their time attending USF Homecoming events. I would have a chance to encourage future candidates to run for Homecoming royalty, to show them that it is possible if you work hard and believe in yourself.

What is a highlight of your time at your USF home campus?

One highlight from my time at my home USF campus of Sarasota-Manatee was Karaoke Night sponsored by the Campus Activities Board. Getting to see all of my friends in such a welcoming and judgement-free environment was such an encouraging experience and I will always treasure the memories of the laughs and songs we sang together. I am beyond thankful that the University of South Florida has provided me with the opportunities that it has already and I look forward to making new memories with the people that I have had the great pleasure of meeting

Evelyn Deoliveira

Evelyn is a part of Student Government at the Sarasota-Manatee campus, as well as an Orientation Leader for incoming first year and transfer students. She is an Ambassador for USF as well as a board member for the Latin American Student Association at the Sarasota-Manatee Campus.

By being part of a few student organizations on campus and representing it in as many ways as I can as of today, I believe that being part of the Homecoming Court will just add to the list of ways I can represent my university as well as show how proud I am to be an USF student. Not only will I be representing USF as a whole, but also my home campus Sarasota-Manatee. We are a small campus, but we are just as motivated and proud as anyone else.

What is a highlight of your time at your USF home campus?

My favorite time at my home campus is always the first two weeks of school, where I can see and catch up with all my friends as well as meet new people. Additionally, meeting new people and being able to pass down or introduce our USF traditions to them is always a great time.
