Tampa, Fla. –
The Tampa Bay Chamber is thrilled to announce the selection of its newest Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay cohort—a dynamic group of student leaders representing Saint Leo University, The University of Tampa, and the University of South Florida. The 2027 cohort is comprised of 42 students, making it the largest class in the program’s history.

Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay is modeled after the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Leadership Tampa program and provides participants with behind-the-scenes access to Tampa businesses and organizations, as well as the opportunity to connect with community leaders. The students are also paired with a mentor from the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Emerging Leaders program to help guide them as they transition from college to career. The results yield future leaders committed to community engagement across the private, public, and philanthropic sectors in the Tampa Bay region.

Collegiate Leadership is generously sponsored by the Bellini Foundation and Riley Education Foundation. Tuition is covered by each university, allowing the students to participate at no cost.

The Collegiate Leadership 2027 class will be led by Chair, Amanda Uliano, Law Office of Amanda M. Uliano, P.A. and Caleb Schillace, Junior Achievement. For more information regarding Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay or the Chamber’s other leadership programs, please visit our website.
