The University of North Florida's 36th Annual Fall Convocation is a celebration of the
accomplishments of many of our colleagues and friends. It is an opportunity to hear
President Delaney's State of the University address, as well as the Provost's remarks
on the efforts we will make this coming year to strengthen and refine our mission and values.
Convocation has traditionally also been a time to recognize the achievements of
our faculty in the areas of International Service, International Leadership, Teaching,
Scholarship, Service, and Advising. Another highlight of this program is the honoring of
UNF 's 30th Distinguished Professor, Louise Freshman Brown, Department
of Art & Design in the College of Arts and Sciences.
