On May 2, a structure fire at University of South Florida College of Marine Science's Marine Science Laboratory building caused devastating destruction.

More than 60 units and 200 firefighters responded to the blaze, making it one of the largest emergency responses St. Petersburg has ever seen.

For the first time, eligible students may be able to use VA education benefits, including the GI Bill®, to enroll in the USF Brewing Arts certificate program. 🍺
