Student Affairs Division Vision Statement
Students at UNF thrive in an environment of robust collegiate spirit
encouraged by deliberate Student Affairs programming.
Student Affairs has paved the way toward integrating the University’s
Core values (see page 31) into every facet of campus life by
intentionally infusing them into strategic planning, programming,
services and over-arching philosophy.
Student Affairs has embraced a “culture of learning” by proactively
cultivating beneficial partnerships with Academic Affairs; thereby,
complementing in-classroom learning with equally strong out-of-
classroom learning.
From the Vice President
There has never been a more exciting time to be at UNF! We invite
you to join us in taking a peek at the “on the move and trend-setting”
Division of Student Affairs. The state-of-the-art Student Union is near
completion and innovative initiatives that were mere visions earlier in
this decade are now evident at every turn. The vision and hard work of
many have become a reality, literally ushering in an entirely new and
distinctively palpable experience for students on our campus.
Intentionality is our watchword as we navigate toward the future. We
mindfully opted to publish the UNF Student Affairs Division’s Annual
Report/Executive Summary in an environmental friendly and low footprint
electronic version honoring our University-wide core values (see page 31).
By looking at three years of accomplishments, this publication chronicles
current trends and “best practices” the University exemplifies, in line with
national trends in higher education.
Collaboration is such an integral part of our modus operandi that we
routinely invite Academic Affairs, other UNF partners, and of course,
our external partners to join us to further enhance our broad scope of
initiatives. (For a more complete picture of the breadth of goals met in
Student Affairs during this period, detailed hard-copies of annual reports
from each of our units are available for review in my office.)
Embracing collaboration in our work whenever possible is a
particularly critical theme for me, not only during difficult financial
times, but also because of the synergy this collaboration creates. I find a
quote from Chrislip & Larson to be helpful in understanding the power of
collaboration:
“The concepts of cooperation and collaboration are
different. Collaboration is more than simply sharing
knowledge and information (communication) and more
than a relationship that helps each party achieve its own
goals (cooperation and coordination). The purpose of
collaboration is to create a shared vision and joint strategies
to address concerns that go beyond the purview of any
particular party.” (Chrislip & Larson, 1994)
I hope that this report provides you with a revealing sample of the
work of the Division of Student Affairs. I salute our colleagues with
whom we collaborate, the hard-working administrators, staff, and student
employees who daily help us to move a bit closer to our goals and long-
term vision. Our students, of course, provide us with the inspiration to soar.
It is to them that we dedicate this Executive Summary.
Sincerely,
Mauricio Gonzalez
Vice President for Student and International Affairs
Putting More Life in Student Life
Student life activities have played an increasingly important role in
the life of the UNF campus and its students since the addition of freshman
and sophomore students in the mid-80s. This academic expansion has
resulted in a steady decline in the average age of the student body (from
age 30 to 24), an increase in the percentage of full-time students and in the
number of students wishing to live on campus. These younger, full-time
students have brought about a need for UNF to build a strong student life
program to add to the quality of the overall educational experience they
receive while on campus. A strong commitment to provide such programs
and services also has required that UNF continuously set and meet goals to
expand and improve its facilities related to enhancing student life.
Multiple construction sites — resulting in buildings that ultimately
will be managed by Student Affairs personnel—currently dot the campus.
However, collaboration with many other campus offices helps the Division
assure that these buildings are user-friendly for people with disabilities,
contain the latest information technology, connect seamlessly into current
campus infrastructure, are surrounded by landscaping that is consistent
with the rest of the campus, and are built with the latest “green,” earth-
friendly construction innovations.
Over the past several years, Student Affairs envisioned the new
student union, additional and enhanced student residence halls, and an
expanded state-of-the-art student health clinic. In addition, Student Affairs
continues to be attentive to needed general areas for student life activities,
including recreation and open spaces.
Projects currently underway, which have been made possible by a
combination of state funding and private donations:
The $50 million “green” Student Union project in the center of
campus is expected to be move-in ready May 2009, providing
148,000 square feet of space for student organizations, student
lounge areas, a food court, retail spaces, a bookstore, meeting rooms,
and open spaces for students to gather informally. The three-story,
two-structure building also features a central open air plaza covered
by a canopy-like roof where students can study, rest, or socialize
at tables and benches. Outdoor events will benefit from an exterior
amphitheater, also under construction.
Student Affairs’ newest residence hall, Osprey Fountains, is rising
on the eastern edge of campus and when completed next summer the
366,000 sq. ft. residence hall will house 1,000 juniors and seniors
and include a swimming pool, tennis courts, a convenience store and
walking trails. It offers single rooms, double-room suites with two
bathrooms, and high-speed data access in each bedroom.
Student Health Services, the campus student health clinic moved in
August 2008 into a newly constructed 8,600 square foot space in the
Brooks College of Health addition, tripling the size of the UNF clinic
where students in need of medical assistance have received care for
nearly 20 years. SHS now has the entire second floor of the four-
story, $12 million Brooks Brown Hall addition. The student medical
clinic is a state-of-the-art facility with ten exam rooms, doctor
offices, and an X-ray/radiation laboratory.
The Disability Resource Center looks forward to new and much
needed space in spring of 2009 with the completion of UNF’s
107,000 sq. ft. College of Education and Human Services Building
adjacent to the new Student Union. A fundraising campaign for a
much larger Disability Resource Center is expected to help fund a
6,000 square foot annex to the new Education Building to house
the Center. The proposed facility will provide additional space for
services which students with disabilities need to be successful in
college. An added benefit to the centralized DRC location is the
collaboration that is expected to develop with Education faculty and
students in the special education discipline.
Hodges Track/Stadium was completed recently. The 10,000 seat
stadium also was complemented with television-quality lighting, a
score board and a press box. A $2.6 million rubberized track adjacent
to the Stadium allows UNF Intercollegiate Athletics to host the
Atlantic Sun Men’s and Women’s Track and Field competition in
2009. In addition to athletic events, Hodges Stadium also provides
the University and students a new and larger venue for outdoor
graduations and lectures, concerts, and recreation and fitness
programs. It is one of the five largest collegiate soccer stadiums in
the country.
Campus Internationalization
Because “all UNF students should be prepared to live and work in a
global environment,” according to Student and International Affairs Vice
President Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez, the University continues to develop an
internationalized campus environment. Student Affairs is a leader in UNF’s
ongoing efforts to broaden global knowledge and understanding.
Domestic students find numerous opportunities to study abroad in
UNF’s curriculum. For those students who find themselves unable to study
abroad, UNF brings global experiences right to its site. The University
continually expands international programs and events, as well as
opportunities for domestic students to study and socialize with a growing
number of international students at UNF, simultaneously helping their new
classmates adjust to life in the U.S. and in Jacksonville. Internationalization
helps prepare students for the multicultural and global society of today
and tomorrow. The capacity for learning is intensified through greater
understanding of cultures.
International Opportunities for UNF Students
Approximately two dozen exchange partners—colleges, universities,
governmental agencies—worldwide.
Approximately 30 Faculty-led Study Abroad Courses
Student Health Services Travel Clinic provides students and faculty
with vaccine and travel information regarding health care abroad.
Newly opened “Study Abroad Store Front” in the Courtyard for
easy student access (as part of the International Center, a Student
Affairs unit)
Internationalizing the Campus/Classrooms
Actively recruiting international students.
Student Affairs staff dedicated to process international
student applications.
Through the International Council, address and internationalize
curricula.
Securing international art which symbolizes our
international community.
Fund Raisers, Friend Raising and A Culture of Accountability
A fairly new national trend in Student Affairs is for the division to
create its own separate finance, fund raising, and constituency-building/
external relations offices. At UNF, Student Affairs has taken a bold move
with all three initiatives—fund raising, finance, and constituency-building/
external relations—in the Division Student Affairs. Within the Office of the
Vice President there is a full-time development officer who is responsible
for fund raising and external relations, including the Student Affairs
Community Council. Additionally, located in Student Life, there is a full-
time coordinator for the Parent and Family Program and a rapidly growing
Parent Association.
The Development Office
The Development Office in the Division of Student Affairs has been
established to garner funding for programs, scholarships, and initiatives for
the Division’s departments. The Development Office has enjoyed dramatic
successes in securing student scholarships and enhancing departmental
programs. It should be noted that fund raising and development are two
distinct activities that go hand-in-hand. Development activities promote
the growth of the Division of Student Affairs, and, specifically, expand
current programs. Development activities focus on educating the public
about specific departments and their value to students and the campus
community. Fund raising is a series of follow-up activities or organized
efforts to support identified needs.
Over $850,000 has been raised toward the construction and
equipping of the new Disability Resource Center,
Over $1 million has been committed toward the construction of the
proposed campus meditative space, to be called the Sanctuary on
Hidden Lake,
0
Approximately $7,000 has been raised toward a campus statue of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Student Affairs Community Council
The Council is authorized by the Division of Student Affairs to
advance selected Divisional initiatives. The purpose of the Council is
to provide direct and effective communication between the external
community and the University. Addressing the diverse needs of students,
the Council provides opportunities to invest in and support the UNF
community and programs.
Student Affairs Community Council members have pledged $100,000
over a five-year period to endow a scholarship, to be matched by the
State of Florida for a total contribution of $150,000.
The Student Affairs Community Council continues to grow and bring
new friends and prospects to the Division of Student Affairs.

Parent and Family Programs
She uses words such as “relationships” with parents, their
“involvement” in the University’s progress, when Student Affairs’
Parent and Family Programs Director Jeanne Middleton is asked about
accomplishments during her program’s initial three years. Goals have less
to do with bricks and mortar and more with building the foundation of a
program designed to improve UNF students’ education in the years to come
by making University partners out of parents and family members.
One of the most successful programs to link parents to UNF was
created two years ago. The Parents Association, whose members
receive benefits for a $35 annual fee, now numbers 2,000 strong.
The Association has created several scholarship programs and an
Association grant for which campus offices may apply.
A web site for the UNF Parents Association kicked off fall semester.
Parents can check the calendar of deadline dates and event schedules
as well as participate in surveys. Parents also are kept informed with
monthly electronic newsletters.
The Parent Association has raised over $65,000 to support Parent and
Family Programs.
Financial Officer for Student Affairs
The Divisional Budget Officer Nancy Locke, CPA, serves as the
principal fiscal officer for the Division responsible for overseeing,
monitoring, and evaluating the fiscal status of each Department within the
Division. She works closely with the Student Affairs Vice President and
his staff to coordinate development and preparation of annual division
operating budgets, bond payments, personnel budgets, and monitors
compliance with Federal, State, and University guidelines. She develops,
maintains, and administers reporting systems related to financial reporting
systems that interact with various administrative units and University-wide
systems. Recent goals for her area included:
Successfully revamped and implemented the Athletics’
Division I budget.
Adjusted Child Development Research Center rates so that 90
percent occupancy rate would be attainable and profitable,
Trained 17 departmental fiscal staff members to use new financial
accounting software,
Worked with interdivisional committee to create process, policies
and documentation of special fiscal matters associated with the
Transformational Learning Opportunities study abroad experience,
Assisted Directors with budgetary and fiscal tasks, allowing them
more time to manage/lead their departments.
Campus Safety and Security
Perhaps the most widespread collaborative campus effort ever, UNF
departments turned their attention to preventing the “unthinkable” at UNF
following the student-shooting tragedy at Virginia Tech. Spearheaded
by Student Affairs’ University Police Department and the Counseling
Center, an existing Crisis Management Plan was made that much stronger
by a series of preventive initiatives, staff trainings, communication
enhancements and physical plant modifications.
Preventative Initiatives
Student Affairs created the “SOS (Supporting Our Students) Team”
to provide students in distress with preventative-crisis help as early
as possible. The team is comprised of faculty and staff who meet
bi-weekly to discuss students exhibiting behaviors of concern.
Members include Police, Residence Life, Legal Counsel, Counseling
Center and a Criminal Justice faculty representative. Referrals from
the University community are made to the Student Affairs Vice
President’s Office during regular business hours; to University Police
after-hours and weekends.
The Crisis Management Team recently signed with Cooper
Notification Systems, a consulting firm which will aid in long-term
security planning and emergency response needs.
More collaboration with agencies outside the UNF community
include UPD partnering with the Beaches SWAT Team to develop
advanced training focusing on tactical response to active shooter and
hostage situations. All UNF officers have received this training.
Campus maintenance is replacing door locks so that classrooms can
be locked from inside, should a crisis occur at UNF.
Training Initiatives
A broad representation of University employees, including one-third
of UPD’s Police Officers attended a one-day conference sponsored
by UNF’s Institute of Police Technology and Management in March
2008. Nearly 130 police officers, college administrators and others
interested in campus safety heard two members of the Virginia Tech
Review Panel’s key findings.
UPD has conducted several “active shooter” workshops for faculty
and staff and all UPD officers are trained in basic and advanced
Active Shooter response.
Communication
UNF partners with the City of Jacksonville on a Campus Alert
System called “Code Red,” which allows the University to quickly
communicate information to faculty, staff and students via the phone.
Ninety-two percent of students who registered for classes at UNF
and 75 percent of UNF’s employees supplied an emergency phone
number to receive a recorded phone message from the UNF Crisis
Management Team.
Future plans include an outdoor warning system allowing
broadcasts to reach parking areas, recreation fields and other remote
campus areas.
Diversity/Equity and Civility
At UNF, Student Affairs is leading the way in promoting opportunities
for creating greater mutual understanding and appreciation among the
many different people who make up our vibrant campus community.
UNF’s Equity and Civility Committee, a Presidential body chaired by the
Student Affairs Vice President, is comprised of a broad representation of
University community members, with the goal of addressing University
concerns such as race, gender, religion, etc. Understanding diversity
encourages inclusiveness and appreciation for all individuals. This
understanding enriches our students and the campus community, as well as
all the communities to which our students belong. In addition to the need
to promote an understanding of diversity, there is a growing need in our
society to address civility, ethics and respect. Units with Student Affairs are
doing just that.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Resource Center
UNF opened its new LGBT Center in Student Affairs in February
of 2006. The Center provides support services to LGBT students,
faculty and staff, promoting and enhancing both academic and
personal growth.
Interfaith Center
The name of Campus Ministry was changed to the Interfaith Center.
The new name, created in response to student concerns expressed
in a survey of students, ensures that no individual student or student
organization will feel excluded from the Center’s services.
Disability Resource Center
UNF’s Disability Resource Center (DRC) has established itself as
one of campus’ most student-centered programs. The escalating
number of students with disabilities who aspire to face the rigors of
earning a college degree requires that we respond with increasingly
sophisticated and all-inclusive services. The DRC has expanded its
programs and increased usage of assistive technology 70 percent
over the last three years. We have increased the number of students
with disabilities who graduate with undergraduate and graduate
degrees from 11 in 2005-06 to 56 in 2007-08, a 500 percent growth
in the number of graduating students with disabilities.
0
Intercultural Center for P.E.A.C.E.
The Intercultural Center, which educates and advances the
understanding of cultures and ethnicities, unveiled a new diversity
training program for the entire University. The department strives
to bridge the cultural divide between all persons at the University of
North Florida through sponsoring diversity programs and dialogue.
A candle-light vigil held on campus at the Gandhi statue in
remembrance of those who died at Virginia Tech.
Women’s Center
The Women’s Center presents programming that discusses
challenges surrounding gender equity in such a way that students
can think critically about what these mean in their own lives and
in society at large. From violence against women to the many
roles women have played throughout history, and from women’s
health to women in politics, the Center has continuously promoted
opportunities for understanding. The Center celebrated its 20th
Anniversary in 2007-2008.
Healthy Osprey 00: Making It Happen
Healthy Osprey 2010 is a new and exciting collaboration across
campus involving students, faculty and staff. The goal of Healthy Osprey
2010 is to create a campus environment that encourages and promotes
the development and maintenance of a healthy body, mind and spirit for a
lifetime. Health Promotion and Student Health Services, both units within
Student Affairs—along with UNF partner Brooks College of Health—are
spearheading this new initiative, currently being promoted nationally
by the American College Health Association as Healthy Campus 2010:
Making It Happen. A variety of University departments and UNF Colleges
across campus have met with Student Affairs to begin to address major
national public health concerns by developing, promoting and assessing
an array of wellness programs and services for all members of the
University community.
UNF has stellar health-related programming on campus currently,
and the campus community is uniquely positioned to integrate a fully
coordinated approach into the existing infrastructure.
Program Overview
A series of weekly Healthy Osprey events and programs are designed
and implemented for new students. The events feature programs
and services from Campus Recreation and Health Promotion.
Weekly events introduce the new incoming students to the Healthy
Osprey initiative. Fitness assessments, nutrition assessments, fitness
orientation and programs, night hikes, “dive-in” movies at the
campus Aquatic Center, stress management and natural-high fairs are
just a sample of the programs offered.
Promotion and Marketing
A series of weekly programs are designed and emailed to all new
students each Monday. Event cards and posters are also produced
and displayed throughout campus to promote the events.
Future Plans
We will be presenting our “Healthy Osprey” initiative this fall
to the Jacksonville Mayor’s Council on Fitness & Wellbeing for
endorsement as well as future collaborations with the Council’s
member institutions on various projects and events.
Addressing the Need for Future Leaders
Leadership Institute
“When the best leader’s work is done, the people say, ‘We did it
ourselves!’ ” - Lao-tsu
Leadership education and development of college and university
students is an important and ongoing process in higher education today.
Student affairs professionals play a quintessential role in coordinating,
shaping, and evaluating this area through developing leadership courses
and programs, creating co-curricular opportunities, and utilizing new
technologies. The Leadership Institute is a collaborative venture between
Student Affairs and Academic Affairs.
The mission of this Institute is to develop and promote global ethical
leadership and character among our students and community through
education, service, and research. To carry out that mission, the Institute
has been innovative and proactive in the following ways:
A Leadership Certificate
Credit and non-credit options toward earning a Certificate
Experiential opportunities for skill development
Collaboration with all five colleges
Deans from the five colleges identified a broad array of approved
academic courses as part of the Institute.
Developed an Experiential Learning Training
(Co-Curricular)
Working closely with Academic Affairs, Student Affairs developed
a co-curricular transcript students can use to capture and document
their leadership learning activities, which include campus and
community service on campus and in the world.
Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLO)
TLO grant money was awarded to the Institute resulting in two
international leadership experiences to Senegal and South Korea.
Four students went to Senegal; seven to South Korea.
Promotional efforts
A full-color brochure was developed and distributed via Academic
Advisors, Clubs & Organizations meetings, fraternity and sorority
chapter meetings, and by various offices.
Assessment
“Measurements are not to provide numbers but insight.” -Ingrid Bucher
The emerging measure of a university’s excellence is how well the
students develop talents and abilities, or, in other words, student learning
outcomes. Conducting assessment in Student Affairs to determine those
student learning outcomes is crucial in developing and maintaining high
quality programs, services, and projects. Results from the assessment of
student learning provide the Division of Student Affairs and the University
community with an increased understanding of our students. It is part
of our core commitment to students. Student Affairs has assigned a
professional staff person devoted to the assessment of student learning as
well as student satisfaction with their educational experiences. Assessment
efforts since 2003 have provided valid and reliable information about our
students and their experiences at UNF, and developing outcome measures
that assess the impact of policies, programs, services, and facilities on
student learning, satisfaction, retention, and success. Some examples of our
assessment efforts follow:
Divisional Assessment Efforts
Feedback was sought regarding a newly combined Student/Parent
Handbook 2007-08 featuring parent information on one side and
students’ on the other in a “flip” format. Focus groups were held
by the Parents Program, a unit within Student Affairs, and by
the publication staff in the VP’s Office. Student and parent users
were asked about the Handbook’s new format, the publication’s
usefulness, ease of use, and new features. The resulting data guided
improvements in the Handbook’s revision the subsequent year.
Departmental Assessment
Career Services carefully tracks all of its student users, employers,
and cooperative learning ventures, and conducts a follow-up survey
with all students who were served by the department during the year
so as to gain feedback about departmental services and programs.
The Women’s Center continuously engages in evaluation and
assessment activities. Each program area is responsible for
designing an assessment plan for its objectives using qualitative and
quantitative strategies.
Health Promotions conducted a survey from the American College
Health Association to assess UNF students’ health behaviors,
including frequency of alcohol consumption, drug use, tobacco use,
exercise habits, nutrition habits, levels of stress, and sexual activity.
This information will be used to guide some of the efforts associated
with Healthy Osprey 2010.
Participation in Institution-wide Assessment
The Graduating Senior Survey includes questions directly pertaining
to Student Affairs units. This survey, given to graduating seniors each
semester, yields important data for our Division’s improvement.
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), conducted
with first-year UNF students in 2006, provided helpful data for many
Student Affairs units.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) re-
accreditation preparation is in full swing and Student Affairs has
taken a lead in those efforts. Student Affairs has been engaged
University-wide regarding the Division’s significant assessment
strategies and continuing efforts.
Student Affairs Goals: 00-00
Develop and promote an environment in which our University
community is safe in order to cultivate optimal student learning.
Implement Phase II of Healthy Osprey 2010, ensuring student health
needs will be met by engendering healthy choices and behaviors for
a lifetime.
Inculcate, infuse and promote the University core values in
consistent, multiple and targeted messages to our student body, thus
developing ethical behavior and social responsibility.
Strengthen University ties campus-wide by engaging with and
assisting in fulfilling the Community Based Learning Quality
Enhancement Plan Initiative (QEP) to provide students with
experiences outside-the-classroom and in the community.
Enhance student learning experience through providing state-of-
the-art facilities that cultivate and engender student learning and
development; continuing progress in construction projects in
Student Affairs.
