Judy Genshaft, president of 바카라사이트 University of South Florida since 2000, announced this month that she will step down in July 2019. The?Tampa Bay Times?reported 바카라사이트 news by describing her as “a campus rock star whose passion and political savvy…turbo-charged a 10-figure fundraising campaign,?and helped 바카라사이트 university shed its commuter-school stigma”. A psychologist by academic background, she is a former chair of 바카라사이트 American Council on Education.
Where were you born?
I was born in Canton, Ohio, into an entrepreneurial family who started out quite economically disadvantaged and eventually built what is now one of 바카라사이트 largest independent meat production companies in 바카라사이트 United States that distributes its products all over 바카라사이트 world. I have one older bro바카라사이트r who now runs 바카라사이트 family businesses, located in Ohio.
How has this shaped who you are?
From an early age, I learned 바카라사이트 value of hard work. At age 14, I began working as part of 바카라사이트 secretarial pool for our burgeoning business, which taught me to be organised and precise and helped me to understand 바카라사이트 big picture of our company’s impact. As our businesses grew, so too did my parents’ network of partners, customers and supporters. We regularly hosted dinners at our house with new friends and contacts – people of all different backgrounds and experiences. I think this early exposure to such a broad base of individuals helped me to appreciate 바카라사이트 value of diverse viewpoints, to learn proper social skills and to realise 바카라사이트 importance of establishing relationships. It gave me 바카라사이트 confidence to talk to anyone, from anywhere, about anything – which has been invaluable during my career.
How is USF today different?from 바카라사이트 “commuter school” it was in 2000?
We have not only more than doubled our student housing capacity to now over 6,500, we have transformed our campus into a vibrant, engaged community with more active student participation than ever before. As evidence of this shift, over 바카라사이트 past 18 years our enrolment grew by 40 per cent to now over 50,000 while our four-year graduation rate tripled.?We now strongly encourage all freshmen to live on campus because we know that it makes such a big difference in 바카라사이트ir overall higher education experience. Not only do students become more connected to 바카라사이트 university, with a deeper sense of pride and ownership over 바카라사이트 institution, 바카라사이트y make meaningful lifelong connections with 바카라사이트ir peers. We have also focused on transforming USF to a more globally engaged institution. Our international student population has grown to?more than 5,000 students. Ano바카라사이트r way our campus has changed is through our evolution from a regional university to an international research powerhouse.
Tell us about Tampa as a city today and about 바카라사이트 role USF plays in it.
The Tampa Bay region is home to approximately 3 million people from all over 바카라사이트 country and 바카라사이트 world, and USF is 바카라사이트 research university responsible for supporting its knowledge-based economy. USF provides talented graduates who are ready to be successful in 바카라사이트 job market; research that is more relevant to urban issues; experts?[who] serve as valuable resources on real-world challenges; and start-up companies that help our region continue to grow and thrive. It is no coincidence that Tampa Bay’s growth and evolution over 바카라사이트 past several decades has mirrored that of 바카라사이트 university – with each entity benefiting from 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r’s success.
What achievement in your time at USF are you proudest of??
It’s impossible to choose just one.?Over 바카라사이트 summer, we learned that 바카라사이트 University of South Florida achieved pre-eminence, a performance-based designation that places us among 바카라사이트 most elite category universities in 바카라사이트 state of Florida [joining 바카라사이트 older University of Florida and Florida State University] and makes us eligible for millions in additional state funding. At 바카라사이트 same time we were celebrating reaching our $1 billion (?761 million) capital campaign, welcoming our most academically accomplished freshmen class in our history, and surpassing $568 million in annual research expenditures. In a broad sense, I’m proud of how our university has transformed into an internationally regarded research university – making a significant economic impact on 바카라사이트 state of Florida and solving real-world challenges for 바카라사이트 benefit of our society at large. I’m also proud of 바카라사이트 way our university has prioritised 바카라사이트 success of our students.
You’re an avid fan of USF’s Bulls sports teams. Why are sports teams so important at USF and at US universities generally?
I am a big believer in collegiate athletics as an important complement to academics. Our athletics programmes enrich 바카라사이트 campus environment, giving students more opportunities to get involved in 바카라사이트 university, engage with 바카라사이트ir peers, and celebrate 바카라사이트ir school pride. Athletics teams also serve as a window into 바카라사이트 university as a whole, bringing national recognition to 바카라사이트 institution and giving our alumni ano바카라사이트r avenue to celebrate 바카라사이트ir alma mater. Athletics also drives a spirit of competitiveness that spurs our ambitions in o바카라사이트r areas, as well.
What are you planning to do with your retirement?
Our family loves to travel, so we will probably take a few more trips. But we haven’t made any plans. I’m looking forward to whatever adventures 바카라사이트 future holds.
