Statement from 91ÊÓÆµSystem President Judy Genshaft on Parkland Tragedy and 91ÊÓÆµSystem Support Services

Our university has a very close relationship with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, and Wednesday’s horrific tragedy has left us heartbroken. We offer our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families and the entire Broward County community, and our thanks to the heroes whose actions prevented further loss of life and injuries. Many graduates of that high school attend USF, and we will provide them and others with the resources and support needed at this most difficult time.

President, University of 91ÊÓÆµ System 

A message about 91ÊÓÆµSystem support services from Provost Ralph Wilcox

Dear students, faculty and staff:

I am reaching out to extend the condolences of the University of 91ÊÓÆµ System to the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy, their families and the entire Broward community.  The 91ÊÓÆµSystem has a very close relationship with this high school – our university has 96 graduates from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High enrolled for the Spring 2018 semester.  The 91ÊÓÆµTampa Dean of Students and student leadership from 91ÊÓÆµSt. Petersburg and 91ÊÓÆµSarasota-Manatee will be reaching out to each of these individuals directly to ensure they receive any needed support and assistance.

In an effort to ensure that all of the 91ÊÓÆµSystem community receives the services they may need during this difficult time, we are providing the following links and information for faculty, staff and students.
