For Students
Student Success Advocates
Welcome to Student Success Advocacy! Success Advocates are here to support you with personalized care and resources from your first day at USF to graduation.
Success Advocates work individually with undergraduate students who may be facing barriers and review their available options. We collaborate with academic departments, colleges, and university personnel when working with students, so they may receive the most robust support.
