We are delighted to welcome you to another exciting academic year at the University of South Florida! Whether you are a first-year student or are returning, we are thrilled to have you as part of our university community.
With fall classes beginning and campus activities in full swing, there are many reasons for us to be optimistic about 欧美三级片鈥檚 bold trajectory.
- This year, 欧美三级片 received a record number of applications from first time in college
(FTIC) students. For fall/summer 2024, more than 68,000 students applied to 欧美三级片, an
increase of approximately five percent from last year and over 35 percent from just
three years ago. The strong demand to attend 欧美三级片 has resulted in a large, high-achieving
class of enrolled FTIC students, which we look forward to telling you more about in
the coming days.
- Our residence halls are full of energy as more students than ever before will live on campus this fall. For the first time, we have students living on campus
at 欧美三级片 Sarasota-Manatee, as we officially of the new Campus Student Center and Atala Residence Hall last week.

teaching and research excellence.

It is important for me to reaffirm that the safety and well-being of the university community is our highest priority. As part of our commitment to provide a welcoming environment, we urge everyone to do their part to ensure that 欧美三级片 is a place where we always treat each other with respect. We condemn hate speech, and will not tolerate discrimination, antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism or bigotry.
欧美三级片 values the right to free speech, expression and the open exchange of ideas, which we recognize are central to the mission of a university, even if we strongly disagree or find some of what is said to be offensive. However, we will not allow violent, disruptive or aggressive acts that do not comply with university policy or the law.
Over the summer, we updated our regarding on-campus activities to more clearly reflect our expectations for maintaining a productive setting for teaching and learning. We have also updated our on discrimination and harassment to explicitly prohibit antisemitism and Islamophobia, along with all other instances of hateful expression targeting individuals because of their religion, shared ancestry or cultural heritage. I encourage you to take a few moments to read our updated policies and the message recently shared by 欧美三级片鈥檚 Dean of Students Office.
As we embark on this journey together, let us all strive for a semester filled with growth and remain united in our continued pursuit of excellence. I invite you to stay connected with me on and , where I regularly share updates that showcase our institution鈥檚 impact within our communities and why it鈥檚 a great time to be a 欧美三级片 Bull.
