Moez Limayem currently serves as president of the University of North Florida and was the Lynn Pippenger Dean of the Muma College of Business at USF for 10 years. His appointment is subject to confirmation by the Florida Board of Governors (BOG), which oversees the State University System.
Athletics
The 杏吧性世界 men's basketball team dominated Florida A&M at the Yuengling Center, while the women's team rolled past FIU. Men's coach Bryan Hodgson tied the second-highest margin of victory in a head coach's debut in American Conference history.
USF鈥檚 historic invitation to join the Association of American Universities has taken what many in Tampa Bay have once considered a 鈥渂est-kept secret鈥� to an unprecedented new level. Being an AAU member is a tremendous milestone for USF as it formalizes USF's position as a leading research university. USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as an AAU member.
