Board of Governors Approve Planning Money for USF

February 19th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda

USF Downtown Campus

The University system Board of Governors today approved planning money for the University of South Florida in Tampa to open a downtown campus for its medical school.  The move is important for USF  says President Judy Genshaft because it puts students closer to Tampa General, which is USF’s teaching hospital.

For us to be co located with the teaching hospital is absolutely essential. It means a  lot of work together in the interdisciplinary fields as well as the doctors working with patients all the time and medical students among them. So its really really important project,a s well as for downtown economy” says Genshaft.

Funding must still be approved by state lawmakers.
