Our vision, mission and values statement is the best
expression of USF’s mission. It’s a detailed and
carefully constructed document, but what it boils down to is
relatively simple: USF exists to provide a rigorous,
world-class education to a new generation of leaders, who
will work to create a more humane and just world. *
