The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a le The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a learning program for local seniors looking to continue their education, expanded to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus in spring 2025. Since then, the OLLI program at USF St. Petersburg has welcomed seniors from across the city to participate in low-cost opportunities for learning. 

Each course and lecture offered in the OLLI program is geared toward building a stronger community between seniors living in St. Petersburg. In a city with a dense population of retirees, the OLLI program is an accessible way for seniors to stay active and involved.

On April 6, students at USF St. Petersburg gathere On April 6, students at USF St. Petersburg gathered for a second round of debates between the political left and right. 

Like the first debate, students took sides on a range of topics including mass deportation, U.S. involvement in international conflicts, universal healthcare and whether cats are better than dogs. 

With the current political polarization occurring across the country, students find that these debates foster a peaceful dialogue between disagreeing sides.

It wasn’t until 2003 that the mascot was unveiled as the Rocky we see today. 

The friendliness and fun personality that Rocky displays at events are extensions of the USF students under the mask.

On April 10, students and community members filed into Harbor Hall’s gallery space to see the graphic arts seniors’ work. Their installations serve as their thesis, a final project before graduation. 

“Senior thesis is not for the faint of heart,” graphic arts senior with a concentration in graphic design, Lauren Gaubert, told The Crow’s Nest.

The last person to hold a position in the Office of Sustainability was Winnie Malumba, a 2019 USF graduate who was the executive director. 

She led two sustainability collectives, Florida For Good and B Tourism.
