Women in Leadership & Philanthropy

TRANSFORMING LIVES. MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

For more than 15 years, Women in Leadership & Philanthropy (WLP) at USF has engaged and educated its members with a singular mission: to make a difference in the lives of women throughout USF and in our communities.

WLP was formed in 2005 with the leadership of USF President Emerita and Professor Judy Genshaft, longtime USF supporter Carol Morsani, and Tampa Bay's leading philanthropists, business professionals and entrepreneurs to promote the educational and research endeavors of women at USF.

Members of WLP have opportunities to create bonds with students, faculty and each other and, in the process, help develop the next generation of women leaders. Since our founding, WLP has invested more than $3 million in scholarships and faculty research awards. We celebrate the fact that WLP scholarship recipients have a 97 percent graduation rate.
