Posted by: Tampa Bay Chamber on Wednesday, May 1, 2024

Tampa, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Chamber proudly received a head start to the region’s commencement exercises thanks to the Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay Class of 2024. In all, 29 students from Saint Leo University, The University of Tampa and University of South Florida were celebrated by business and community leaders on April 15, during the ceremony at the University Club in Downtown Tampa.

This CL ’24 class is one of the largest to date and modeled after our Chamber’s Leadership Tampa program, now in its 54^th year. Collegiate Leadership graduated its first class of students in 2021. The tuition-based program, covered by each university and at no cost to their students, educates and engages emerging student leaders during a pivotal time when they are transitioning from college to career. Participants selected excel in their studies and have demonstrated leadership within their campus community. From exploring the region’s tech scene to gaining insights into Tampa Bay’s nationally recognized philanthropic organizations, these young leaders say they feel empowered and equipped to be catalysts for positive change and engaged community leaders.

Collegiate Leadership is sponsored by the Bellini Foundation and Riley Education Foundation. Special thanks to CL’24 Chair Rebecca Siviglia, Assistant General Counsel of Moffitt Cancer Center; and CL’24 Vice-Chair Yvette Segura, President of Yvette Segura Consulting and 2021 Chair of the Chamber’s Board of Directors.
