Welcome Parents!



Dear USF Parent,

It is my pleasure to welcome you into the University of South Florida family! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for entrusting your child’s education and future in this great university.

I am honored to have your USF student on campus, and I want to invite you to join your student as an active member of the USF community through the USF Parents Association.

The mission of the Parents Association is to serve as a liaison between our USF Parents and the University. I want you to know that as a member of the Parents Association, you will have an active voice in helping shape and define the educational experience of your USF student. I encourage you to get involved in your student’s future by joining one of the various committees responsible for working with the University towards the common goal of making your student’s college experience the best it can be.

These next years are among the most impressionable of your student’s life. If you would like to play an active role in guiding that experience, please read on to find out more about the opportunities available to you through the USF Parents Association.

Sincerely,

Judy Genshaft

Judy Genshaft
