MESSAGES FROM GOVERNORS & LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS///
SARASOTA-MANATEE CAMPUS:
As your Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the Sarasota-Manatee campus, we extend a warm welcome to both new and returning students. Our goal is to ensure that every student succeeds academically by improving campus resources and enhancing the campus’ infrastructure and reputation. Despite being a smaller campus, we take pride in offering a range of unique programs and services that foster a close-knit community. For instance, students can showcase their school spirit by participating in Green Wednesday, exploring various clubs through our annual Bullpen event, or taking part in exciting giveaways and events during the Week of Welcome. These are just a few examples of the exceptional programs and traditions available at the Sarasota-Manatee campus. As members of the Student Government, we are committed to making your time on campus memorable and enjoyable. Our ultimate aim is to create an experience that you can look back on with pride. #ONEUSF
TAMPA CAMPUS:
As you embark on your academic journey at the University of South Florida, we as your Tampa campus Governor and Lieutenant Governor are excited to welcome you! Becoming a bull is such an exhilarating experience and we encourage you to utilize this time to diversify your experiences, skills, and interests during your college career. As a unified campus, we want to accentuate the beauty of our student body by actively identifying our similarities and celebrating our differences. As Tampa campus Governor and Lieutenant Governor, we are tasked with overseeing the local autonomy of Student Government and serve as the official representation of the student body on the Tampa campus. We look forward to implementing several initiatives to better the Tampa campus and foster community. As Student Government actively works to prioritize the wants and needs of our student body, we also provide an abundance of resources for your use through our agencies Safe Team, Bulls Media, Computer Services, and Bulls Student Advisors to ensure that you have all that you need to thrive academically here at the Tampa campus. As you navigate other aspects of student life, it is important that you recognize the power that resides within our student body. During your time here at the Tampa campus, see every moment as an opportunity to leave a positive impact on both your institution and your surrounding community.
ST. PETERSBURG CAMPUS:
On behalf of the USF St. Petersburg Student Government, we are pleased to welcome you to our beautiful waterfront campus in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg!
At the relaxing St. Pete campus, you can enjoy the sunny skies and calm waters of Tampa Bay, access the distinct opportunities of the innovation district, and become a part of a tight-knit diverse student community. On this campus, you truly get the chance to embrace a vibrant student life while succeeding in your academic and professional endeavors. Whether you are brainstorming sustainable projects with the Student Green Energy Fund, putting on spectacular events with the Harborside Activities Board, or joining one of the many student organizations on campus, USF St. Petersburg Campus is the perfect starting place for you to explore your interests and build skills for your prospective career. Famous for its traditional events, our campus gathers in pride during the semester kickoff for Week of Welcome, the locally treasured Cardboard Boat Race during fall’s Homecoming Week, or in celebration of Rocky D. Bull’s Birthday during USF Week in the spring. Without the efforts of our incredible students, this campus wouldn’t be the thriving center it is today.
At the end of the day, Student Government exists because of YOU and for YOU. We are excited about positively impacting the student body at USF St. Petersburg Campus by advocating for their rights and amplifying their voices. Please be sure to stop by the Student Government office located in the Student Life Center (SLC) suite 1500 so we can have a chance to welcome and meet you personally. Go Bulls!
