The HUSTLE (Helping University Students Tackle Leadership and Entrepreneurship) Program is USF's Nault Center for Entrepreneurship incubator, designed to support student founders who are ready to take their ideas from concept to launch.Each spring, a competitive cohort of student teams is selected to participate in this hands-on, high-accountability program. Unlike pitch competitions or business plan contests, HUSTLE simulates the real startup journey—from building to pitching to potentially closing a deal.Throughout the semester, students attend weekly workshops, meet with mentors and work through a structured curriculum covering legal formation, customer discovery, MVP development, financial modeling and pitch training.The most promising teams will pitch to Chessler Holdings, a real-world investor group with a track record of funding student-founded startups, for the chance to secure an investment deal. --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1989848

La Grande Illusion is a major exhibition of works by internationally acclaimed artist, Brian Maguire. The exhibition spans two decades of work that spotlights the artist’s lifelong quest to draw attention to global injustices, war, and human rights. One of Ireland's leading cultural figures, Maguire has turned the practice and tradition of painting into acts of visual testimony. Maguire’s paintings are global in scope and are derived from projects undertaken between 2007 and 2024 in Mexico, the Mediterranean, Syria, Sudan, the United States, and the Amazon. Maguire's artworks are painted from direct experience and involve the artist spending extensive time on the ground with the communities that welcome him. The results are, plainly put, paintings that visualize the commonality of human suffering and dramatize the plight of people in need. --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1984259
