Interested in mentoring a current student? Consider joining us in our Student Alumni Mentoring (SAM) program. With just two events (that might be virtual depending on the current situation) and regular monthly communication, this program is designed to fit your busy schedule. An alumni mentor is a guide, friend, and resource who shares educational and professional experiences to provide career guidance and professional contacts. Alumni mentors are partnered with students based on similar career paths, interests, and goals. Your experience and expertise directly impact our students' success.

USF has added several visual reminders to commemorate its centennial. The centerpiece of these visual reminders is a one-of-a-kind commemorative work of art created by artist Lawrence Romorini from One Of A Kind Art Studio in Silver Spring, Md. and displayed in Tower Hall, adjacent to a dedication wall in honor of the university’s founding Sister Sponsors – the Sisters of Saint Francis of Mary Immaculate.
 
Appropriately named the Centennial Collage, this three-dimensional work honors the legacy of the founding Sister Sponsors and the Franciscan heritage through carefully-selected miniaturized photos, publications and other institutional memorabilia. The retrospective reflects USF’s values, mission and vision, while commemorating its history, leaders, innovation and accomplishments.
 

USF has designed a special web page that allows you to view the collage online. Visit  stfrancis.edu/collage  to learn more about the piece's unique components.
