    The University of South Florida (USF) is a public university system located in Tampa, Florida, USA, with an autonomous campus in St. Petersburg, and branch centers in Sarasota and Lakeland. USF is currently ranked ninth in the country in terms of enrolled students. USF is also one of three public universities in the State (with the University of Florida and Florida State University) to have received first-tier research university status by the Carnegie Foundation, a mission first started by former USF president Betty Castor in the 1990s. Some of the original proposed names included “University of the Western Hemisphere”, “Citrus State University”, “Sunshine State University” and “The University of Florida at Temple Terrace.” Although located in west-central Florida, at the time of establishment USF was the southernmost public university in the State of Florida, a geographic situation that lent USF its sometimes confusing name. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and USF Psychiatry Center, as well as the college of public health were built during Brown’s presidency. Currently, USF is considered one of the top universities in Florida, being named a first-tier research university in 1998. USF’s first student newspaper was the Campus Edition of The Tampa Times, a now defunct local afternoon newspaper. Marshall Center, the student union named for an administrator who spent 40 years at USF. 2006 was the fiftieth anniversary of USF’s existence, and with it brought special events, plans for a bigger student union, and famous guest lecturers, such as Bis
