After 33 years of tremendous service to WUSF, General Manager JoAnn Urofsky announced that she will soon retire from the public media organization at The University of South Florida, capping a career of 45 years in radio and public media.Over the last three decades at WUSF, Urofsky steered the organization through some of its most consequential technology and public service advancements, including the acquisition and launch of WSMR, the state’s only 24-7 classical music station; digital media platforms including websites, podcasts and newsletters, the expansion of local news teams and the development of the WUSF Advisory Board. During Urofsky’s tenure, WUSF has won countless awards for journalistic excellence, including most recently the prestigious national Edward R.

USF will identify a transition plan before Urofsky’s final day at USF.
