Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement

The Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement (CLCE) trains, educates, and develops USF community members to be effective, ethical and positively engaged leaders in the global community. It serves as a content expert and community connector in support of the USF and Tampa Bay communities’ leadership and civic engagement initiatives.

The CLCE believes that every student has a responsibility to ignite their passion and commit to their own personal transformation through lifelong learning. By dreaming, creating and thinking within a community that values them for who they are, everyone’s contribution matters, resulting in positive change.

The arts at USF are an important element of student life and a great way to get involved. Whether you are interested in music, theater, art or dance, USF offers over 300 public performances, concerts, plays and shows every year. These events are powered by the USF School of Music building, two concert halls, three theaters, contemporary art museum and a professional museum.

USF students who want to express their artistic side have access to a variety of exciting opportunities without having to leave campus. So take a dance class, audition for an ensemble or even submit an art proposal to the Centre Gallery, the only fully student-run, nonprofit exhibition space in the state of Florida.
