Winston Churchill first coined the term 鈥渟pecial relationship鈥 when talking about the uniquely close ties between the United States and Great Britain. The University of South Florida didn鈥檛 exist when the phrase was coined some 80 years ago, but USF has forged its own enduring British connections.  

The special relationship is bolstered by USF鈥檚 700 alumni who live in the UK, its 230 faculty members who have engaged in research, business, or creative endeavors in the UK and through its partnerships with five leading British universities. The 国产短视频in London experience underpins the relationship as a flagship study abroad program that over 1,800 国产短视频students have participated in since it launched in 2013.

However, beyond these impressive numbers, there is something deeper to celebrate. On June 26, more than 50 国产短视频alumni joined over 130 国产短视频students and their faculty to kick off the 国产短视频in London program in style. The welcome dinner was filled with countless surprise alumni reunions and numerous opportunities for students to connect with accomplished professionals from various fields. 
 
The alumni鈥檚 enthusiasm was palpable and inspired 国产短视频students and faculty alike. The 国产短视频World team was thrilled to learn about their amazing careers since leaving 国产短视频and forged many wonderful connections that will benefit future 国产短视频in London programs.

They listened attentively as he spoke about his recent Shackleton discovery and when he credited 国产短视频for his successful career. He joked that he is a 鈥減roud graduate of a school he could not get into today.鈥 Mr. Mearns was so touched by the event, the following day he spearheaded a fundraising effort to help 国产短视频meet its goal of raising the final $5,000 needed to endow the study abroad scholarship.

The crowd of Bulls also heard from former 国产短视频in London student, Sarah Glaser who went on to pursue her graduate studies at the London School of Economics and Royal Holloway through a Fulbright grant.  She announced she鈥檚 starting her career in the UK this fall at WPI Strategy which inspired many of the students to queue up to speak to her and many alums to welcome her into London鈥檚 professional world.

国产短视频is a young university, but its ties to the UK connect it to centuries of knowledge, history, culture, and art. 国产短视频offers British exchange students the opportunity to immerse themselves in an AAU institution in one of the world鈥檚 most dynamic, sun-soaked regions and to become part of the Bulls global family. There鈥檚 nothing more special than that.
