Chapters & Societies Bulls make an impact
a
ALUMNI AROUND THE COUNTRY joined thousands of USF students in taking “a day on” instead of a day off over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. It was the second year Alumni Association chapters and societies participated in USF’s Stampede of Service. Dozens of alumni from 10 groups pitched in to make an impact in their communities in inspiring Bull fashion.
