Rhea Law officially installed as USF’s eighth president

The University of South Florida’s eighth president, Rhea Law, was inaugurated Thursday during a ceremony held at the Yuengling Center on the university’s Tampa campus.

In a speech to students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Tampa Bay community, Law shared plans for taking the university to the next level, including three academic areas of strength to build on: health sciences, environmental and oceanographic sciences and global and national security. She also pledged to seek renewed commitments to community partnerships and get a new on-campus stadium built.

“USF is a place of progress,” Law says, “and I have no doubt that our next chapter will be our greatest one yet.”
