Greetings from the College of Business!
At the beginning of the semester we distributed nearly
$300,000 in scholarships to help business students
offset their educational expenses. More than 100
recipients were acknowledged at our annual
scholarship luncheon, bringing donors and students
together to get to know one another.
One of our new graduate students, Zak Boggs, is a
star player on the soccer team. Boggs is a high-
achieving student; he graduated with a 4.0 GPA last
semester and was named the Big East Male Scholar-
Athlete of the Year. He's the first USF student to
receive the honor. That's big news for the university!
Our distinguished faculty are continually recognized
for their valuable work in the business arena. Alan
Hevner, an information systems/decision sciences
professor, recently received a lifetime achievement
award for his contributions to the field over the years.
And, our professors continue to do research with real-
world impact. Two of them have secured grants with
MacDill Air Force Base and two others have secured
grants with eWinWin (a leading local technology
company) to conduct pivotal research with practical
implications.You can read the details of these stories
and others below.

USF Soccer Star Aims for Business |
|
 To say Zak Boggs is driven and goal-oriented is an
understatement. A zealous soccer player, the junior
forward is co-captain of the USF men's soccer team.
The second-leading scorer on the team, he helped
drive USF to its first Big East championships, a team
that reached the quarterfinal round of the NCAA
championships.
