When U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius visited the new USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) in February, her comments spoke volumes about the trajectory of USF and the institution's ever-increasing role in shaping the future.
"This is an amazing university, and this facility will be on the map across the country and across the world," Sebelius said. "I have no doubt of that."
The new 90,000 square-foot CAMLS facility will redefine healthcare for the future. It will further USF's mission to improve quality of life in the region and across the globe.
Over the past year, USF has made remarkable strides. The institution has grown its research portfolio to nearly $400 million; ranked among the nation's top producers of Fulbright scholars; solidified its leadership role in tracking the impact of the BP oil spill; recruited top biotech partners to the region; ranked ninth among public universities for U.S. patents issued; and opened a world-class diabetes center and a new Alzheimer's research center that could be a model for the nation.
USF's commitment to being a high-impact university has never been stronger. Its vision has never been more clear.
At its very core, USF is its people — its students, its faculty and staff. And it is these people who make USF "an amazing university."
