I Heart Diversity Awards
Each year, the Tampa campus Office of Multicultural Affairs recognizes and celebrates individuals and groups within the USF community who have displayed a commitment to inclusive excellence during the academic year. During this celebration, we showcase our diverse student leaders, highlight achievements in our programs throughout the year, and reflect on the diverse path to preeminence.
The 2022 I Heart Diversity Awards Celebration was held on April 14th, 2022 from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM in the MSC Ballrooms!
