Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good
The Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good is dedicated to inspiring and preparing students at USF to pursue lives and careers of ethical public service and the common good.
Our Mission
The McCarthy Center prepares students for lives of ethical public service not just in government but in business, the environment, healthcare, and education, whose policies affect the marginalized and poor.
Our Impact
The McCarthy Center’s 2023 Annual Impact Report is a testament to the incredible journey of our students, faculty, staff, and community partners, and the milestones achieved together.
Creating the Next Generation of Leaders
The McCarthy Center provides a forum for education, service and research in public policy-making and programs for the common good. It supports undergraduate and graduate academic programs, provides service learning, and government experiences for students and generates publishable research. A curriculum that blends rigorous intellectual training with fieldwork experience prepares students to articulate and promote the common good of all society's members through careers or service in government, non-profits or the private sector.
