USF Week
Established when former Tampa Mayor Pam Lorio declared April 9th to be USF Day in 2010, the one-day celebration has grown into a week-long celebration known as USF Week.
USF Week will take place from April 4, 2022 - April 9, 2022. Check out our websites for all of the updates! It include a number of events celebrating USF pride such as the Ultimate Bull Talent Show, Rocky's Birthday Bash, the University Lecture Series, Bullstock Music Festival, and more.
