ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Alicia Tennell ’16
MARKETING GRADUATE
“I chose USFSP because it made the most sense. Not only was it the most affordable and located in the heart of downtown St. Pete, but USFSP was the only campus among my many college acceptances that provided the most appreciation for my academic achievement as a student. That showed through its rigorous coursework and high accreditations.”
ACADEMICS
“While it’s early in the tax season I wanted to send a quick note about the USFSP volunteers I had yesterday. Ms. Sissi Gomez and Ms. Ines Perez were completely prepared and professional in all respects. First weeks are sometimes a bit hectic getting things set up and bugs worked out and these two helped things run smoother. They set the bar high for performance and I look forward to the VITA/USF relationship this tax season.”

“We’re pushing the boundaries, experimenting, prototyping. That gives [students] creative confidence and they build an innovative mindset. It gives them the confidence not to ask for permission for what’s right or what’s wrong but the freedom to explore their skills and make connections.”
