Student Organizations on Student Hub

Over the last year, Student Leadership and Engagement has worked with ITS to develop a new component on the Student Hub specifically for student organizations. We hope that this will provide students with easier access to involvement opportunities that will support and enhance their experience at USF.

You can access the Student Hub here using your USF login credentials.
