UNF-branded merchandise to be sold at area Target stores
By Matt Coleman

Target, a hugely popular national retailer with a strong presence in Northeast Florida, has added University of North Florida merchandise and apparel to three of its stores.

UNF products can be found on shelves at the St. Johns Town Center, Beach Boulevard and Jacksonville Beach Target stores next to merchandise from professional teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Rays and established college programs. The merchandise was put on display in July and will run indefinitely.

Director of Athletics Lee Moon said having Target support for UNF-branded merch is a step in the right direction for a university and an athletics program looking to continually build an expansive regional and national profile.

“We’re always trying to take that next step, either on the field or out in the community,” Moon said. “UNF Athletics has grown tremendously over the past few years, and that is obvious if you take a look at the quality of our teams. And in order to continue that growth and earn respect as a Division I program, we need to be highly visible in the community. That’s why this is a great step for us. Target is a great community retailer that fans can choose to support their Ospreys.”

The University’s thriving network of alumni will be energized when they see their beloved alma mater represented strongly in the community, said Kim Diamon, associate director of Alumni Services.

“Anything that makes it easier for our alumni to purchase UNF merchandise is a great move,” she said. “It’s all about being as visible in the community as possible.”

The Target deal was facilitated by Licensing Resource Group (LRG), which has served as the University’s trademark management group for the past two years.

Robert Harper, UNF’s director of athletic marketing, said LRG is one of the foremost leaders in college branding initiatives and has worked tirelessly on the University’s behalf to boost the Osprey brand.

“They’ve definitely proven their worth, as the number of licensees we have has steadily risen during our time with LRG,” he said.

North Florida’s displays at Target include an assortment of branded clothing — t-shirts, polos, fleece and hats — with more to come, said Brad Coley, an LRG brand representative handling the UNF imprint.

Coley said the biggest focus for the University has been expanding its merchandising base while protecting the integrity of the logo, and LRG has worked with other retailers to stock quality UNF products.

He classified Target as an upper-tier merchandiser with a tremendous reach, something he said will lead to other stores becoming more interested in stocking UNF apparel and other items.

“With three Targets coming on board, that’s a big step forward for the University,” Coley said. “We’ve been showing steady progress on that front. And as more UNF merchandise is moved, other retailers will start taking note and want to have their own UNF displays.”

Coley said the Target placement is a good start. But there’s more work to be done. He’s already working with a number of different retailers nearby, including a few in the Town Center, who are interested in showing some Osprey pride.

At the same time, the UNF Bookstore, which also sells University clothing and merchandise, has received a slew of new Osprey-branded apparel from top designers such as Nike and Hurley.

It’s further evidence that the UNF logo is in demand, Moon said.

“It won’t be long before you’ll see a UNF logo or catch a glimpse of an Osprey wherever you go in Northeast Florida.”

UNF offering innovative interpreting degree through new partnership
By Matt Coleman

The University of North Florida, in conjunction with an industry innovator in interpreter education, is at the forefront of a dynamic evolution in American Sign Language and English interpreting pedagogy.

This year, UNF and the VRS Interpreting Institute, the leading employer of interpreters in the United States, partnered to create a master’s degree in American Sign Language that prepares motivated graduate students, through a hybrid of online and in-class instruction, to teach the interpreting process in colleges and universities.

Already a pioneer in the ASL/English Interpreting world, UNF is known for its reputable and innovative faculty members who have contributed to building a nationally recognized program. When the UNF program started in 2009, it was only the second master’s program in interpreting in the country and the only one designated as a distance-learning program.

Now, UNF is generally considered amongst the upper echelon of ASL-friendly schools among other colleges such as Kent State University in Ohio and Gallaudet University, a private, federally chartered university specifically for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in Washington, D.C.

The UNF/VRSII partnership, which was initiated by UNF, started in May with a pilot cohort of 15 students who have been learning about the latest advances in interpreting through a combination of on-line classes and in-person instruction. Last month, the students spent three weeks on site at the VRSII facility in Salt Lake City to learn directly from all of the skilled interpreting pedagogy instructors UNF and the VRSII have to offer.

Founded in 2009 by Sorenson Communications, the VRSII offers a wide range of educational opportunities for individuals active in, or entering, the interpreting profession. The VRSII works with universities and nationally recognized trainers to offer a range of programs tailored to meet the on-going educational interests of ASL interpreting students and educators. In addition to the joint VRSII-UNF graduate program, the VRSII also collaborates with the University of Arizona to offer undergraduate credits through VRSII classes.

Dr. Len Roberson, dean of the UNF Graduate School, said the program is the first of its kind in that it offers an unparalleled collaboration between academia and industry.

“The instructors at VRSII are industry professionals at the leading edge of interpreting pedagogy,” Roberson said. “The combination of the VRSII instructors and UNF’s own talented faculty offers an incredibly well-rounded group of faculty who are innovators in the field. That instruction, combined with the resources available at the Institute in Salt Lake City, gives students a uniquely hands-on learning experience that transcends traditional distance learning.”

The Institutes’ executive director, Dr. Carolyn Ball, said the partnership is mutually beneficial to both UNF and VRSII because the goal for each organization is simple — find new ways to help educate future interpreter educators and create more qualified interpreting graduates who are better prepared to enter the field of interpreting. Through the pooling of resources, UNF and VRSII can offer exceptional online training in on-site classroom environments that can’t be matched at any other University specializing in interpreter pedagogy.

“UNF stood out as a partner institution because their faculty are well known around the world, and they publish more than most in the field of interpreting,” Ball said. “UNF is an incredibly innovative university with the ability to think creatively and out-of-the- Library program.box. This ability makes them easy to work with and empowers them to do things very quickly.”

The program is open to any student with an undergraduate degree who aspires to teach ASL/English Interpreting in a college or university. More information about the program, including enrollment requirements and tuition details, is available here.

Donors transform library space
By Dan Dundon

Donors have helped to change the face of UNF in many ways. The campus has greatly benefitted from donations for everything from equipment in new laboratories to technology enhancements in classrooms and lecture halls.

However, another contribution that is sometimes easily overlooked is the way in which donors to The Power of Transformation campaign are transforming the Thomas G. Carpenter library with amazing pieces of art.

Seventeen artists and collectors, including several faculty members and UNF alumni, have donated more than 80 pieces to the collection. The pieces give the otherwise bare library walls a pleasing patina of distinctive Florida flavor covering the area’s culture and history.

Paintings such as Noon at Matanzas Bay and Key West Morning, both by artist Tom Farrell, are examples of the many Florida scenes depicted throughout the library.

But in addition to the region’s culture, the donations also convey a sense of the history of Northeast Florida. Jacksonville artist Jonathan Lux donated a large piece of art that is actually a collection of multiple canvasses with depictions of various Skinner Dairy Stores. Nearly two-dozen of these distinctive stores once dotted Northeast Florida landscape between 1958 and 1985 as part of the transition between grocery stores and home milk delivery. A series of Jacksonville Jazz Festival posters on the first floor also detail the history of the area.

The donated works also include some noteworthy memorabilia. Autographed photos of such luminaries as George Gershwin and Duke Ellington were donated by the Ibach family and can be seen on the third floor. Stephanie Ibach, whose husband, John, a jazz pianist and physician, died in 2005, donated these pieces along with an extensive collection of jazz CDs and books to the library. The Ibach family donated 41 pieces of art to the library collection and is the largest single donor to the Art in the Library program.

The largest single item in the collection is an expansive wood sculpture by artist Norman W. Gregory that stretches along a wall on the first floor. After touring the building and watching student activity, Gregory said he was inspired to create a piece that could engage students in a visual representation of the passage of knowledge, one to another.

“The long, brick wall on the first floor seemed in need of something to break up the space and could provide enough area for me to tell the story in minimal imagery,” he said.

Gregory, who in addition to being an artist is a long-time area business executive, said it took him about eight months to develop the eye-catching piece for the library.

“The piece can be simply a diversion on a long wall or be taken in and contemplated,” he said, describing his piece in detail.

While the library will always be viewed primarily as a rich source of information, the art is becoming a destination in itself. More than 175 tours have been brought through the library in the last three years to view the art, said Dean Shirley Hallblade. She also praised a volunteer committee of members of the Library Dean’s Leadership Council who have assisted in the project.

Hallblade is grateful for the support not only from the area artists but also UNF artists.

“We are thrilled that so many donors have identified with our vision to showcase art in the Library and expose students to the wonderful diversity of work created by artists both in the community and at UNF,” she said.

Nofa Dixon, a long-time art educator and professional artist, is one of the UNF faculty members who have donated work to the library.

“They are building a high quality collection at the library and it is a beautiful building,” Dixon said. “I decided to make a donation of my artwork so students will be able to enjoy it. They may not go to an art gallery on a regular basis, but every student visits the library on occasion.”

Similarly, another donor who is also a UNF graduate said it was an honor to donate three photography pieces to the library. The artist, known simply as Laird, used infrared photography to show the world of nature in a way usually not seen by humans. His custom camera has been altered to record the infrared spectrum, which humans do not see. He manipulates the resulting image in Photoshop to create a unique portrait of nature. Laird, who graduated in 1980 and has taught photography at UNF, travels with both types of cameras when he’s on assignment.

“I had some great professors at UNF, and I’m happy to leave something there which may be entertaining and hopefully inspirational for students who use the library,” he said.

A complete list of the works currently on exhibit in the four floors of the library can be found on the library’s website. The guide was created by librarian Courtenay McLeland, curator of the Art in the Library collection.
