Research

Following commercialization, USF tech provides sanitation to South Africa

The solar-powered NEWgenerator provides off-grid sanitation technology and generates nutrients, energy and water by safely recovering them from human wastewater. It’s the first unit to be manufactured since the USF Technology Transfer Office signed a licensing agreement in 2020.

Student Success

USF’s Exploratory Curriculum program helps put undecided students on a path to success

Students enrolled in the Exploratory Curriculum program can choose from one of five pathways and are able to register for classes outside of their pathway or even select an unrelated major.

AAU Membership Fueling USF’s Momentum

USF’s historic invitation to join the Association of American Universities has taken what many in Tampa Bay have once considered a “best-kept secret” to an unprecedented new level. Being an AAU member is a tremendous milestone for USF as it formalizes USF's position as a leading research university. USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as an AAU member.
