I’m excited to share that AIESEC has officially launched at the University of South Florida. Over the past several months, I’ve been working to establish the USF chapter of AIESEC, a global, student-led organization focused on leadership development through international experiences and real-world responsibility. AIESEC operates in more than 100 countries and provides students with opportunities to grow through global volunteer programs, internships, and cross-cultural collaboration. This chapter is being built from the ground up by a dedicated group of student leaders who are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for their peers and expanding access to global experiences at USF. As we begin, our focus is on building a strong foundation, growing our membership, and introducing exchange opportunities that connect students with the world beyond campus. Huge thanks to Jackson Gilman, David A. , Joseph Lucido, Thomas J. Trapani and the rest of the founding team for helping me with this project I’m grateful for the guidance from AIESEC United States, our advisor, and everyone who helped make this possible. If you’re a USF student interested in leadership or global opportunities, or a professional interested in supporting student development, I’d love to connect.
