USF’s campus is home to incredible art, each piece with a story to tell. From historical replicas to thought-provoking murals, these installations were made possible through the generosity of alumni and friends.
Some of the masterpieces include:
🐺 Los Lobos de Loyola – A symbol of generosity inspired by Basque tradition.
🌕 Equatorial Armillary Sphere – A tribute to Jesuit missionary Fr. Ferdinand Verbiest’s astronomical legacy.

USF’s men’s basketball team beat Utah Valley last night, 79-70, in a thrilling home game at War Memorial at the Sobrato Center, and the team advanced to the second round of postseason playoffs.
The Dons will host Jesuit rival Loyola Chicago on Sunday at 4 p.m. PT at War Memorial. The game will air live on ESPN2.
Last night’s game was the first NIT home game hosted by USF since 2014.
Posting his best performance in the green and gold, Carlton Linguard Jr. scored a season-high 18 points, shooting 7-of-11 from the field and tying a season-high with four made three pointers, including finishing with a game-high +16 plus-minus.
“It feels amazing,” Linguard said after the game. “We play all year to play in the postseason.”

Saharla Vetsch ’21 found her artistic voice at USF—through drag 🎭 and aerial dance 🤸♀️.
With a degree in Performing Arts and Social Justice, Vetsch first discovered aerial dance through an internship with Flyaway Productions, secured via the USF Dance Department.
Now, she merges movement and activism, using performance to spark joy, challenge norms, and empower others. ✊✨
“I try to be a possibility model for what it looks like to let movement empower you and share that with others,” Vetsch reflects.
This Women’s History Month, USF celebrates artists like Vetsch—those who use their craft to inspire change. 💫
