💙🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Giving Day this week! Your generosity and support for the College of Arts and Sciences make a lasting impact on our students, faculty and programs.

Over the last three days, I had the incredible opportunity to join in the amazing experiences our students had on the UNF - College of Arts and Sciences Public Policy trip to Washington, D.C. From exploring the National Archives, engaging in diplomacy at the Chinese Embassy and visiting the White House and State Department, our students experienced policymaking at the highest level. Even more impressively, they presented their research to leaders from both the U.S. and China—an experience that will shape their futures in profound ways! To say it has been an inspiring trip does not do it justice. I've always known UNF provides our undergraduate students the best opportunties, but to see it in action will be something I will share for years to come. These transformative opportunities are only possible because of the unwavering support of our faculty, staff and the incredible friends of UNF. 💙 Today is Giving Day at University of North Florida! 💙 Your generosity allows us to continue creating these life-changing experiences for our students. I invite you to join me in giving so we can create more meaningful experiences like this for many more students to come.
