As veterans, we know what it means to show up for one another when it matters most β and right now, the USF College of Marine Science and the Florida Institute of Oceanography need our support. π
Following the devastating fire on the USF St. Petersburg campus, students, faculty, and staff are working hard to recover and rebuild. The USF Foundation has established the Marine Science Operating Fund to provide immediate relief as that process continues.
The USF Veteran Alumni Society is proud to support the "Ocean of Support" Fundraiser, hosted by the St. Pete Innovation District and Councilmember Gina Driscoll:
