I served as Graduate Program Director of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
(Math Concentration), USF, 2001-2009. Files I produced for this duty are kept here.
Most are obsolete, but some may be useful.

My picture posted there was taken by Professor Athanassios Kartsatos.
Here is an amazing picture of Athanassios taken by Rick Mabry,
who was a student of Athanasios, and has a lot of other nice pictures as well.
