RoundUp
An annual pep rally held the first week of fall classes, USF RoundUp teaches you what you need to know to be a good Bull! The Alumni Association is there to make sure that USF traditions are passed on to the next generation of Bulls! The Alma Mater, the USF Fight Song and the Bulls sign all make an appearance at this event. Brush up on your Bulls knowledge before you attend!

Grad Stampede
The USF Bookstore hosts Grad Stampede every semester to give graduating seniors the opportunity to take care of business! Order your cap and gown, graduation announcements, class ring, and of course, this is the perfect opportunity to join the Alumni Association. Grad Stampede is held in October, June, and February/March each year.

King O’Neal Scholar Award
The USF Alumni Association awards the King O’Neal Scholars award every semester to those students completing their USF coursework with a 4.0 GPA. The award was created in honor of charter USF graduates Lucas King and Evelyn O’Neal.

King O’Neal Scholars receive special individual recognition at Commencement exercises by the University president and the Alumni Association chairman. Each King O’Neal receives a certificate recognizing their accomplishment and a medallion of the University seal.

Outstanding Senior Award
The USF Alumni Association names one Outstanding Senior each semester, a student who embodies leadership, school spirit, academic excellence, community involvement and a love for USF.

The Outstanding Senior is honored with individual recognition by the University president and the Alumni Association at Commencement.
