Our Work
Student Success Awards
Congratulations to the 2021-22 Award REcipients!
Learn more about our Student Success Awards honorees and their dedicated and extraordinary work in support of the students at USF.
ABOUT THE AWARD
The ßÙßÇÂþ» has made tremendous progress in our student success initiatives. We set out to transform student success in 2009, and we have earned national distinctions, including recognition for increasing our graduation rates more than any university in the country in recent years. Furthermore, we have eliminated the completion gap by race, ethnicity and income and have achieved Preeminence status in the State of Florida.
These significant achievements are the product of an institutional effort, driven by many faculty, staff, students and external partners who have worked hard to transform the institutional culture and raise performance levels across the board.
The annual Student Success Awards present an opportunity to honor the individuals and teams who have made exceptional contributions to our student success movement. The seven
award categories listed below offer opportunities to recognize outstanding employees,
departments, teams, students and community partners.
