The University of South Florida (USF) has announced a $2.2 million grant from Joey and Jennifer Redner—the founder of Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing and his wife—in support of an on-campus stadium project and a brewing arts program.

Half the gift will support the university’s stadium project in Tampa, while the other half is dedicated to training craft-beer entrepreneurs through a brewing arts program on the St. Petersburg campus. The brewing arts program is taught as a 23-week online course that provides participants with foundational knowledge and hands-on training for successful craft-brewing careers.

“We deeply appreciate this generous gift from Joey and Jennifer Redner that will truly make a difference for many years to come,” said USF president Rhea Law. “Their support will help to enrich the University of South Florida experience for our students and grow the university’s impact in the community.”
