Remembering a Leader, Establishing a Legacy

Who We Are

Dr. Anh-Kay Pizano embarked on a career that translated her passion for higher education into helping both students and her alma mater succeed. She worked in the USF Foundation, raising support for minority student scholarships, and later joined the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine as the assistant director of admissions. Overseeing recruitment for the MD program, Pizano helped bring in the nation’s most promising students to train as the next generation of physicians.

What We Do

Pizano arrived in the United States as a child with her parents as Cuban exiles — her father, Roberto, had been a political prisoner in Cuba after leading a local movement against the country’s communist government. Though she spoke no English and her family had limited financial means, she dreamed of furthering her education. With help from the USF Latino Scholarship Program (LSP), she would become a first-generation college student and rare “triple Bull,” earning bachelor’s, master's and doctorate degrees from USF.
