USF-Microsoft
Fall 2025 Student Ambassadors
Ayush Parida, Computer Engineering
I'm a May 2026 graduate who participated in the USF–Microsoft Student Ambassador program from Summer 2025 through Fall 2025, where I explored new tools and technologies while collaborating with fellow ambassadors and working with clients to tackle real-world challenges and help build practical solutions. My parents have always been curious about the things I build and the technology I work with, so being part of a program connected to Microsoft was something I was excited to share with them—it felt like a moment where all the time spent learning and experimenting with tech really came full circle.
Sweta Jaishankar Ratnani, Data Intelligence
I was a Data Science major, juggling life as a research assistant studying large language models (LLMs) while going down the AI rabbit hole - tools, use cases, and everything in-between, when I stumbled upon this program and got instantly hooked. I came in hoping to learn AI, but ended up staying because the experience was incredible and the tools didn’t just teach me, they seriously upgraded my daily life.
