This morning USF held a special event announcing a $20 million gift from outgoing president Judy Genshaft to the Honors College. The gift (made along with her husband, Steve Greenbaum) will be used to spur the construction of a five-story, 80,000 square foot facility to house the college. In addition, the college will be named the Judy Genshaft Honors College.
The USF Honors College consists of more than 2,200 high-achieving, cross-disciplinary scholars who are part of a close community that provides specialized experiences and advanced educational opportunities. Students are encouraged to participate in global experiences through study-abroad, undergraduate research, and hands-on community-engagement and service projects along with professional development opportunities.
