This is what our colleagues have to say about supporting UNF's Power of Ten initiative.
They have the POWER... do you?
"For the University to reach true excellence, it must have private support. The support of employees is a statement that we believe in the long-term goals of the institution to which we have dedicated our work."
-Jeanne B. Patterson
Professor and Director Rehabilitation Counseling Program
"A university education gave me the ability to provide a better life for myself and my family, so I feel an obligation to help continue the work of the University for coming generations."
-Kathleen Cohen
Associate Dean, Thomas G. Carpenter Library
"It's a wonderful working environment and I want to return some good to the University."
-Bob Farnsworth
Technical Assistant
"I'm a Jacksonville native and a founding faculty member. I consider the University and city to have a strong complementary relationship. Each invests in the other and my contributions are a part of that mutual investment."
-Linda Smith
Librarian
"I give because I want to show my gratitude for the career opportunity that I have here at UNF. This is an exciting place of which to be a part and I want to support its growth."
-Connie Ellis
Director of Development
"My support for UNF and BCH are a way to show I believe in what we do at the University and in our units."
-Lillia Loriz
Director, School of Nursing
"So much of what we do in support of the University is invisible to those in the community - those who base their support upon our support. Giving to the faculty staff drive is a visible way to show all that we do for students."
-Pamela Zeiser
Associate Professor, Political Science and Public Administration
International Studies Program Director
"As a faculty member, I know what a gap there is between state funding and real needs for the programs I value at UNF. I give because I care and because I can, and I encourage you to do the same."
-Dale L. Clifford
Chair, Department of History
"My gift to the faculty staff drive enables me to support UNF's effort to internationalize the University. To this end, there are a number of important programs: International Studies, the International Center, Irish Studies, and our various speakers' series. These need everyone's support in order to afford our students and faculty the opportunity to travel abroad, to share our expertise with foreign universities and institutions, and to bring foreign students, government representatives, journalists, and other experts to visit UNF."
-David Schwam-Baird
Associate Professor, World Languages
