LETTER FROM VP FOR STUDENT SUCCESS /// Greetings, Bulls!
Welcome to the University of South Florida! On behalf of Student Success, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you. Our division is dedicated to supporting your academic achievements, personal development, and well-being.
At USF, we believe that every student can succeed if given the opportunity. As the Vice President for Student Success, my role is to ensure you have access to the resources you need, whenever you need them. Student Success is here to guide you in selecting your major, provide tutoring and writing support when you need extra help, and advocate for you if you need additional assistance to stay on track academically.
USF is a vibrant hub of activities, events, and over 800 student organizations waiting for you to explore! Download the USF BullsConnect app or visit bullsconnect.usf.edu to discover what’s happening on your campus. Whether you’re interested in joining a student organization (or two!), attending social events, volunteering, or cheering on our Bulls at a game, these experiences will enrich your time at USF and help you build lifelong friendships.
Our career counselors are ready to help you identify career options, secure internships, and prepare for successful employment in your chosen field.
Your health and well-being are crucial to your success. If you feel ill, visit the doctors at your campus wellness center. If you’re feeling stressed and need to talk, take advantage of our counseling services, including 24/7 free virtual care from TimelyCare at timelycare.com/usf.com/usf. Explore our recreation facilities to find your fit – try the bouldering wall, work out, join intramural teams, take a class, or simply play. You can even game in the Esports Living Lab!
As you begin this exciting chapter of your life, I urge you to embrace all that USF has to offer. Step out of your comfort zone, dive into new opportunities, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Visit usf.edu/student-life to get started and use this planner to help organize your studies and chart your path to success.
USF cares about you, and Student Success looks forward to helping you make the most of your opportunities as a USF Bull!
