Outstanding Faculty
The University of North Florida employs some of the most gifted faculty who enhance the community life with their resources and outside work. As of 2007, there were 696 faculty primarily holding appointments as full- or part-time teaching faculty. These faculty members receive awards and honors that bring recognition to the important work they do. For example, an English faculty member received a Special Community Service Award from the State Attorney's Office of the Fourth Judicial Court for her "Living Inside" Project at the Duval County Jail. In 2007, four faculty members in the Nursing program were recognized as one of the “Great 100 Nurses of Northeast Florida.” Our outstanding faculty are also involved in their respective fields, enhancing the academic prestige of our university. For the 2007-2008 academic year, faculty members served on the editorial boards of approximately 34 professional journals, and they held about 100 leadership positions in professional organizations. In addition, approximately 146 faculty members appeared on local television and radio news and talk programs just last year. Such appearances allow them to share their knowledge and expertise to the region.

Select List of Faculty Leadership Positions with Professional Organizations
Faculty also share their expertise with the community through
presentations, talks, and workshops with organizations in Northeast
Florida. In 2007, at least 45 speaking engagements were undertaken by
faculty. For example, a faculty member gave a research seminar on
Tick-Borne Disease Epidemiology for the State of Florida Department of
Health. Other organizations included the Rotary Club, various area
schools, St. Augustine Historical Society, the Cummer Museum of Art, The
Sanctuary, and the Northeast Financial Management Center. Faculty
members also provide other valuable resources to the community. For
instance, a faculty member in the College of Education and Human
Services served as a consultant for Spanish and English as a Second
Language with the Florida Teacher Certification Examination. Another
faculty member provides GIS consulting and support for Episcopal
Children’s Services. A Criminal Justice faculty member provided
community-based research for the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast
Florida and Operation New Hope. A complete list of community
presentations and resources can be found in Appendix A.
