Give Day 5k participants cross the finish line

The University of Tampa is proud to partner with the greater Tampa Bay community to help elevate the University and expand the opportunities available here. Strong partnerships with off campus organizations and groups strengthens the University’s standing in the community and furthers the mission and capacity of the institution.

Getting Involved Takes Many Forms

Community Networks

Board of Counselors

The Board of Counselors’ 60 volunteer members organize social events to raise awareness and maintain programs designed to prepare students for life after college. Since 1962, this group has contributed to UT’s student retention program and assisted in creating public recognition of, understanding of and confidence in The University of Tampa.

Board of Fellows

Established in 1972, the Board of Fellows serves as "goodwill ambassadors" within the community. Made up of approximately 150 business leaders and professionals, the Fellows increase the University's visibility through special events and outreach, and raise funds for scholarships, providing financial and other support to the University.

Giving Societies

These recognition groups celebrate the generosity of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who make gifts each year to support University operations and whose lifelong commitments help secure The University of Tampa’s future. Every gift makes a lasting impact in advancing the University’s capacity to carry out its mission.

College Advisory Councils

Advisory councils are groups of faculty and area community leaders that offer advice, counsel and assistance to the leadership of each college. Members act as a bridge between on-campus programming and initiatives and real-world application, providing input and making recommendations about critical issues and program implementation and improvement.

Alumni

The Spartan community lives on after graduation. Stay connected, know and take advantage of alumni benefits, and get involved in supporting UT’s mission through alumni giving, legacy scholarships and other opportunities to support current and future Spartans.
