香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Kicks Off 50th Anniversary with Scholarship Giveaway

By Byron E. Jones

Six lucky students received scholarships at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023’s 50th Anniversary kickoff event on Jan. 13 as faculty, staff and students gathered at the Arena Plaza.

Students expected one $2,500 scholarship to be awarded only to be surprised when more scholarships were announced. Attendees celebrated with Ozzie and were treated to a variety of Osprey swag, games and prizes with entertainment provided by DJ E.L.

Interim President Pamela Chally discussed 香港六合彩开奖结果2023’s humble beginnings before announcing the scholarship winners. What started as a campus with a handful of buildings now comprises dozens with 17,000 students, she told the crowd. “Here’s to our entire Osprey Nation, to our future and to the next 50 years of success,” Chally said.

The six award recipients each received $2,500. The first scholarship was made possible by Community First Credit Union. After the first award was announced, two additional scholarships were presented — each funded by the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Foundation Inc.

The surprises continued as Board of Trustee member Stephen Joost announced he would fund two additional scholarships and BOT Chair Kevin Hyde announced that the Board of Trustees would collectively fund one as well.

The Carnegie R2 Classification Explained

Last month, 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 gained admittance to an elite group of universities across the country — those classified as Research Universities with an R1 or R2 designation. After reviewing 3,900 universities, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education included only a prestigious few on its 2022 list, designating 137 as R1 and 133, including 香港六合彩开奖结果2023, as R2. Since the announcement was made, we’ve had a chance to talk with John Kantner, associate provost of faculty and research and interim dean of the Graduate School, to learn more about our new R2 designation and why it is important to the university and the City of Jacksonville.

What does the Carnegie Classification system consider?
This is not a ranking that considers graduation rates, campus facilities or other student-focused metrics. The Carnegie Classification system is simply a way to sort universities into buckets or categories by the types of degrees awarded with an emphasis on research.

How is the R2 classification determined, and how has 香港六合彩开奖结果2023’s level changed over the years?
Our current classification is based on the “data year” of 2019-20, so there’s a bit of a lag.
Carnegie issues its classifications every three years.

In 2016, the Carnegie Classification had a master’s level 3, 2 and 1. 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 was an M1, which consists of institutions that have large master’s degree programs. There were also three doctoral levels: R1, R2 and R3. At that time, R3 required a certain number of research doctorates awarded each year (with original research and a dissertation) and a certain threshold of research expenditures.

In 2019, Carnegie reworked its classification system and changed what had been R3 to a Doctoral/Professional Universities or D/PU. This new category required at least 30 professional doctorates awarded in the data year. For example, our doctorates for nurse practitioners and physical therapists (well over 100 awarded each year) are considered professional doctorates that focus on clinical practice as opposed to original research. Because Carnegie changed the rules to acknowledge these professional doctorates, 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 made a significant move into the doctoral category as a D/PU, which automatically made us a national university in U.S. News and World Report; you cannot be listed as a national university in any of the rankings until you are at least an R3, or what is now a D/PU.

How did we move from the third tier of doctoral universities to the second tier?
To get to the R2 level, a university must have at least $5 million of R&D expenditures, which can be a combination of external and internal funding sources. Recently 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 has increased research expenditures to about $14 million, so we’re well above that required level. There also must be at least 20 research doctoral graduates in the data year.

Carnegie moves any university that meets those thresholds into an R category. To further segregate the list into R1 and R2, Carnegie uses a statistical analysis based on additional criteria: the type of research doctorates, the amount of R&D expenditures, and the number of research staff, which would include research faculty, postdoctoral researchers, research associates, research scientists and other titles. For 2022, the analysis placed 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 in the R2 category.

Now that 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 has been designated as an R2, why is this important?
The R2 designation gives us a standing in the research community. In addition, some of the other true ranking systems, such as U.S. News and World Report, in their own systems, reference where the universities fall in the Carnegie Classification.

What’s meaningful about it to me is that Jacksonville was one of the only major metropolitan areas that did not have a research university. There have been studies that have shown that the economic success and diversification and vibrancy of a particular metropolitan area is closely correlated with the kind and size of a research university that is serving the area. The city’s workforce needs are not just at the undergraduate and master’s degree levels, so us graduating students at the doctoral level helps the various business in Jacksonville, and attracts those that are interested in moving to the area. It also helps with applications for research funding to organizations such as the National Science Foundation, which pays attention to these classifications.

What’s next?
We’re now having some conversations about what type of R2 university we want to be. Do we need to bring in more doctoral programs? Do we perhaps focus on professional doctorates that do dissertations? So, that’s where we now, trying to think about what this looks like for 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 moving forward.

香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Remembers Archbishop Desmond Tutu

By Marsha Blasco

Archbishop Desmond Tutu talking with President John A. Delaney in 2005 In late December 2021, the news of Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s death touched people around the globe. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was revered for his work as a human rights activist and widely regarded as one of the most important voices against apartheid in his native South Africa.

At 香港六合彩开奖结果2023, those who met Tutu when he taught at the University in spring 2003 remembered the man as well as his work, describing him as warm, personable and kind. Dr. Earle Traynham, professor of economics and dean emeritus, was the dean of the Coggin College of Business when Tutu accepted 香港六合彩开奖结果2023’s invitation and offered an adjoining conference room in the dean’s suite for the archbishop to use as an office. Sharing that space turned into what Traynham now calls “one of the highlights of his 10 years as dean.”

“The archbishop turned out to be the nicest, warmest guest we could ever have had,” Traynham said. “He was just a delightful person. When he came into the office, he would greet everyone and chat with each person, asking how they were, how was their weekend, before he walked into his office. He just couldn’t have been a warmer person.”

Ironically, Traynham said the people arranging Tutu’s visit reminded them that he was a busy man with important work to do and asked that the archbishop not be disturbed or approached unless he spoke to them. Yet, that was not the reality of the man, Traynham said. “The archbishop loved people and loved talking with people and was a pleasure to be around.”

During his time at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023, Tutu created and taught a credit course for students and three noncredit mini courses that were open to the public centering around his experiences in South African politics, the struggle against apartheid and his work as chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, created by the post-apartheid government.

Dr. Jeff Michelman, who served as associate dean at the time, also recalled Tutu as an extremely personable man. He said that the archbishop seemed to enjoy talking with him about many different topics. “He was a wonderful human being in every sense of the word, and I’ve always been thankful to Earle that he offered the space in Coggin,” Michelman said. “It’s not often that you get to be in the presence of greatness, and that’s what I feel having been next to a Nobel laureate for an entire semester.”

Both Michelman and Traynham recalled a surprise reunion with the archbishop sometime later when they were invited to lecture at the University of Warsaw in Poland, one of 香港六合彩开奖结果2023’s partners in the Global MBA program. Invited by Alojzy Nowak, then the dean of the University of Warsaw Faculty of Management, the two were not expecting to see the archbishop, who had also been invited to Warsaw to accept an honorary doctorate. “It was just a wonderful memory and a wonderful surprise to see him again,” said Traynham, adding that the archbishop introduced them to the room and told everyone what a wonderful time he had teaching at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023.

Desmond Tutu’s Legacy at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023
Desmond Tutu was first invited to speak at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 in 1999, a connection made through his friendship with former 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 staff member Oupa Seane. He returned to teach in 2003 and then received an honorary doctorate from 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 in 2005. In 2018, Tutu donated several book manuscripts as well as correspondence and speeches — many written during his time on campus — in honor of retired President John A. Delaney. The documents have been placed in the Thomas G. Carpenter Library’s Special Collections and University Archives as “The Archbishop Desmond Tutu Collection.”

The collection includes the manuscript for Tutu’s book “God Has a Dream,” and a second manuscript for “Number Two to Tutu: A Memoir" by Michael Nuttall with a foreword by Tutu, as well as speeches Tutu was making around the world at the time. It also includes a speech he delivered at the 80th birthday of the late Nelson Mandela, anti-apartheid revolutionary and South Africa president, correspondence with his assistant and friends, and other handwritten notes.

One Final Memory of the Archbishop
Dr. Jay Coleman, vice president of data analytics, who had the chance to speak with the archbishop, described him as “extremely personable,” with the ability to make people feel comfortable around him. He also recalled that the archbishop’s presence in the building could certainly draw attention.

As Coleman was interviewing a candidate for a faculty position, he had a view to the hallway through the office glass, though the person being interviewed did not. In the middle of explaining why 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 was a great place to work, Coleman saw the archbishop walk out of the dean’s office suite dressed casually in a warm-up suit, a much different look than his formal attire in media photos. He immediately quipped, “And how many places can you see Archbishop Desmond Tutu dressed in a warm-up suit headed down the hallway?”

When the candidate finally was able to turn to see Tutu, he was surprised, and Coleman then explained Tutu’s teaching visit to the University. “For what it’s worth, the candidate took the job and is still on our faculty,” Coleman said.

Engaging Students with Real-World Projects

By Marsha Blasco

Bringing real-world problems into the classroom can spark excitement and make learning more meaningful for students, according to professors who have been doing just that in the Coggin College of Business. Here are two examples of the many courses on our campus and at Coggin that include community involvement and real-world problem solving with the Jacksonville business community.

Consumer Behavior Marketing Course
For marketing major Morgan Viccione, the nonprofit case study she worked on in Dr. Courtney Azzari’s Consumer Behavior course last fall was “eye-opening.” Pulled from the real world, the project exposed her to important community issues. “I actually thought it was really helpful doing all the research, reviewing the statistics and putting the presentation together,” said Viccione, whose long-term goal may include work at a nonprofit.

For Azzari, assistant professor of marketing, who has used the case study approach for the past four semesters, the results each term have been positive ― some presentations even "brilliant" ― and overall, the students have been engaged. As a result, she sees the project as “the best of all worlds.” “Students do something that’s real-world where they feel they can actually have an impact,” she said. “They’re looking at a real company with real clients, so it makes it more important for them than a textbook case study, and I think they have a greater stake in the work.”

The classroom partnership began when Azzari met Amanda Mahan, director of marketing and communications at Operation New Hope, a local nonprofit that provides training and employment options to reduce the obstacles that people face following incarceration. Not the typical marketing model, the organization has three target markets: clients who need the services but don’t pay for them, donors who fund the programs, and employers who hire the clients.

Throughout the semester, and after meeting with Amanda Mahan from Operation New Hope, students reviewed research to understand each of the groups. Who are they demographically? What’s their lifestyle? What do you know about them?
“Students look at the internal and external influences that shape the buying decisions of the target markets and cause them to make the decisions they do in the marketplace,” Azzari said. “Then they select a target group and create a marketing campaign that they believe will resonate with them.”

From the nonprofit’s perspective, Mahan appreciates the student’s ideas, calling some of the campaigns “exceptional,” with fresh ideas she puts to use in her marketing materials for Operation New Hope. In addition, she has hired three student interns from these collaborations and looks forward to continued interactions with 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 students.

While Azzari believes the course teaches students the marketing skills they need, she also believes they gain from an expanded way of thinking. “One of the goals of college should be to expand your mind, your worldviews and your perspectives,” she said. “We need to broaden students’ way of thinking, and this topic is completely outside what most of them deal with and think about on a day-to-day basis.”

Honors in Marketing Course
To ship a container of goods from China to Los Angeles would ordinarily cost retailers about $2,000 with delivery in several weeks. Today, the price for a shipment can be as high as $20,000, and it may not arrive for months.

Crowley Maritime Corporation, a Jacksonville-based company and member of the Marketing Advisory Council at Coggin, has customers worldwide who are asking for help with the current distribution crisis. Looking for solutions, the industry giant brought the problem to students in Dr. Andrew Thoeni’s Honors in Marketing class.

“This and other projects’ results are astonishingly impressive,” Thoeni said. “Students take these on, work on their own time, are managed by the companies and produce real-world results for the companies and boost their resumes in the process.”

The Honors in Marketing class is part of the Honors in Marketing program and focuses on technical and business skills, as well as communication and interpersonal skills. Thoeni, marketing instructor and head of the Honors program, also co-founded the Marketing Advisory Council and recruited its 25 members. Each fall and spring term, these companies submit projects for students in the class. The Crowley project was one of three fall projects, each completed by two students who together volunteered at least 80 hours to find solutions.

For the Crowley project, the student duo worked with a data set provided by the company, which included all worldwide shipments for the past three years, detailing what was shipped, by whom, its origin and destination. Once they imported the data to a data analysis software, they chose one category of goods and analyzed alternative manufacturing locations closer to the United States by reviewing wages, infrastructure, education level, and many other factors.

According to Thoeni, the completed work provides a “repeatable process” for Crowley: the company can now use the analysis to identify any another category of goods and find alternate manufacturing options for other companies.

The Honors in Marketing program, which started in 2019, accepts about 10 applicants each term. To graduate with an Honors in Marketing designation, students must maintain a 3.5 GPA and complete 200 hours in a professional marketing internship and 100 volunteer service hours. To date, the program participants have contributed 1,631 hours of community service.

Meet Lynne Arriale

Lynne Arriale is a professor of jazz studies and director of small ensembles in the School of Music. As a pianist of contemporary jazz and leader of the Lynne Arriale Trio, she has toured extensively around the world and been invited to play at a variety of notable jazz festivals and concert stages. The first-place winner of the 1993 International Great American Jazz Piano Competition, Arriale went on to record and produce 15 albums that have topped the JazzWeek radio charts and have received numerous “Best of” honors. Her 16th album will be released April 8, 2022. She has received accolades for her teaching as well. In 2018, Arriale was awarded the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Presidential Leader Award and was runner-up for the 2020 and 2021 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Faculty Association Distinguished Professor Award.

What brought you to 香港六合彩开奖结果2023? In addition to its outstanding reputation, 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 has a great jazz program with a stellar faculty. Professor Emeritus Bunky Green, a jazz icon, is a musical and personal hero. Many years ago, I was thrilled when he invited me to conduct a master class at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023. I was highly impressed with the quality of the program and the students; so, the opportunity to join the jazz department he directed was very exciting.

What research are you doing? The focus of my research is improvisational performance, publishing, composition, recording, and production. As a performer, I lead the Lynne Arriale Trio, which tours internationally. My 16th album as a leader is scheduled for release by Challenge Records International. “The Lights Are Always On,” which I co-produced, comprises a suite of 10 original compositions. The recording honors healers, caregivers, truth tellers, and defenders of democracy in the wake of COVID-19 and the Insurrection.

What’s one thing in your field of study that people might not know? It might not be generally known that jazz performances are improvised in real time, whether in a recording session or before a live audience. Decades of study are required to master this art form, which is necessary for the music to unfold organically in the moment. The beautiful magic of jazz is in the solos improvised during a performance. Created spontaneously, each solo sounds fresh and original each time the piece is played.

Do you have a favorite spot on campus? What do you like about it? My favorite spot on campus is in the classroom, watching my students learn.

What’s the most rewarding academic experience you’ve had at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 in or out of the classroom? I feel great during the “ah-ha” moments, when something “clicks” for a student, and the results are immediately apparent.

If you weren’t teaching, what else would you be doing? I can’t imagine life without teaching, but if that were the case, I would continue to compose, arrange, produce, and perform jazz.

What do you like most about 香港六合彩开奖结果2023? I am continuously inspired by the excellence and accomplishments of my amazing colleagues. I love working with my students; their dedication makes for a truly gratifying teaching experience, and it also fosters my own musical growth.

Describe your teaching style. Do you like to integrate tech, or are you more comfortable with a lecture-style classroom? I work with students one-on-one and in small ensembles. Their assignments include learning repertoire and lessons that address issues in their improvisation. This includes specific assignments, tailored to help them master fundamentals and expand their musical vocabulary.

Who has been the biggest role model in your life? All of my teachers have been role models. Among artists, Keith Jarrett, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis inspire me tremendously.

What advice would you give a student who is about to graduate? First and foremost, I would have them remember they are professionals and should always act accordingly; that they must treat everyone with respect, communicate with employers and colleagues, and network with other musicians. Regarding career development, I encourage the graduate to promptly start work on their first recording project, which is both a prerequisite and their personal calling card to play at venues. Finally, I would advise them to play on a regular basis with musicians they like and respect. These relationships are both personally and professionally rewarding and can last a lifetime.

What is your favorite memory from your undergraduate days? My favorite memory from my undergraduate days was playing concerts.

Where is the best place you’ve visited? I loved the Swiss and Italian Alps; they are gorgeous. I’ve also had unforgettable experiences in European concert halls, where impeccably maintained Hamburg Steinways and Bosendorfers make performing a pleasure.

How do you recharge? I recharge by watching programs that make me laugh, like “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

What do you like most about Jacksonville? Where else have you lived? I have lived in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin; New York City; Nashville; Indiana; and Tampa, Florida. I’m very happy living in Jacksonville; the people are warm and friendly, and I love the weather.

What do you enjoy about working here? I love the open and inclusive environment here at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023. My job here allows me to do what I am passionate about while surrounded by a community of colleagues and students who challenge me to grow every day.

How long have you lived in Jacksonville? Where else have you lived? I have lived in Jacksonville collectively for about 17 years – for a while when I was in elementary and middle school and then again since my undergraduate time here at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023. I have also lived in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Italy, Kansas, Virginia and Washington State.

What one memory do you most treasure? I really treasure the class I took on LGBTQ studies in my undergraduate years because it was the first time I was able to learn a lot of the history that informs my practice today. It was the first look I had into the history of my community and gave me the goals I continue to work towards today for equity and inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals.

If you could have a dinner party and invite any four people, from the past or present, who would be on your guest list? Silvia Rivera, Dr. James Barry, MJ Rodriguez, and Elliot Page. These individuals are all prominent transgender figures throughout history, and I would love to be able to discuss with them the current movement for transgender liberation and rights as well as their contributions to the movement.

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be? I would love to be a professor for a day in the social work program. I have always been passionate about teaching and being able to teach a future generation of social workers would be wonderful.

What superpower would you like to have? How would you use it? I would choose super strength, so I would be able to pick up anyone (or any animal) like a baby.

If you ruled the world, what would you change on Day 1? I would end for-profit healthcare systems so that healthcare can be free and equitable, so we can emerge from this pandemic in a better position than where we started.

What’s at the top of your bucket list? Visit Canada because it seems like a pretty cool place (pun intended) and I haven’t been.

What one food do you wish had zero calories? Chocolate.

Where would you like to go on a dream vacation? I would really love to go to a cozy cabin in Canada during the winter because I love snow, but I am not committed to shoveling it.

Tell us a few of your favorite things.

The Dark Truth 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Chocolate

Can chocolate actually be good for us?
Calling all chocolate lovers! Can chocolate actually be healthy for you? The answer is: with the right type and amount, yes! It is the cocoa content of the chocolate that is of interest regarding health benefits.

Studies have shown that dark chocolate has the most health benefits, mainly because it contains the highest cocoa concentration of all chocolate varieties. Some evidence suggests certain varieties of high-cocoa dark chocolate have similar (or even higher) antioxidant concentrations as the “superfood” berries: blueberries and acai berries. A diet rich in antioxidants, including small amounts of dark chocolate, has been shown as protective against chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Antioxidants can also protect aging of the skin and brain health.

How do we choose a beneficial chocolate?
It is important to note that the research found benefits in dark chocolate with a very high cocoa content. Many common brands of dark chocolate may not contain a high enough cocoa content to exert the desired health benefits, although they may taste good and can still fit into an overall healthy diet. If the chocolate tastes sweet, it is candy; if it is bitter, it is cocoa-rich chocolate.

The research shows benefits from dark chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70% or more. The higher the cocoa concentration, the more beneficial to our health. However, the higher-cocoa dark chocolate varieties tend to be bitter because they contain less sugar. A small amount of high-cocoa chocolate around one ounce per day is associated with health benefits. However, more is not better; too much can be counterproductive in terms of improving health.

What is the bottom line?
Even consuming dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa doesn’t replace eating a diet rich in colorful vegetables and fruits. If you like dark chocolate, you can obtain some benefits from it. If you don’t like dark chocolate, you should not force it. Instead, try to increase your intake of other antioxidant-rich foods, like dark greens and berries. Most importantly, allow yourself permission to consume a small amount of any indulgent food that brings you some joy as part of an overall healthy diet.
