Can you believe it?  Summer, at least for students, is almost over.  If you're anything like us, it probably felt way too short, but hey, they don't say "time flies when you're having fun" for nothing.  Transitioning back into the daily school grind can be a little rough at first, but luckily USF's got at least one thing in mind to take your mind of the stresses of a new school year.

The University of South Florida Bull Market is kicking the Fall semester off right with a celebration called Bull Market Bonanza on Wednesday, August 24 (classes start Monday the 22nd).  Working as a college-oriented flea market of sorts, the Bull Market takes place at the Marshall Student Center Plaza and features a diverse array of student organizations, local vendors, and various university departments sharing their information and/or selling their goods for all those attending.

Bull Market Bonanza is just one of the happenings part of USF's Week of Welcome and works as a truly great way for new and old students alike to discovery ways to get involved in and around campus.  Student organizations including fraternities and sororities, cultural clubs, interest clubs (i.e. surf club) will be on hand to give out information as well as compete in a market-wide space decorating contest for some great prizes.  This is a great way to see these organizations in action and all the fun they can have.

Bull Market Bonanza opens at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24 and lasts until 4 p.m.  Head over there between classes, browse some cool vendors, and see all the student organizations in action that make USF so great.
