U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (FL14) released the following statement regarding the retirement announcement of University of South Florida President Judy Genshaft:

“USF President Judy Genshaft has helped take the University of South Florida to the next level.  Under her leadership, USF has risen to one of the top-tier public research universities in the country.  The Tampa Bay area has evolved into one of the most dynamic communities for health innovation in America largely due to USF Health research, students and faculty.  The diversity of the student body is one of USF’s strengths and President Genshaft’s commitment to Upward Bound, Latino scholarships and access to college has paid dividends. I will miss her approachable style and commitment to our community, and wish her, Steve and her sons well on behalf of a grateful community.”
