USF to introduce faculty and programs at event

A giant pep rally at USF Sarasota-Manatee will introduce the college from 9 to 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 23.

USF will begin its "USF: Unstoppable" campaign, which a press release said will showcase its growth in academic achievement, research initiatives, health sciences and athletics. The event will take place at the main campus on the Manatee-Sarasota county line.

Faculty and students will showcase academic programs. USF President Dr. Judy Genshaft, Regional Chancellor Dr. Arthur Guilford, student Valerie Connors, USF Foundation Chairman Les Muma and Vice President for Advancement Joel Momberg will speak during the program.

"For more than three decades, USF Sarasota-Manatee has served the needs of the local community, business leaders and organizations as a leader in higher education, continually producing well-educated graduates who become leaders in our community, nation and the world," Guilford said.

USF Sarasota-Manatee is at 8350 N. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota.
