Welcome Message from President Moez Limayem
"At the University of North Florida, we believe in the power of community, compassion, and commitment. As a proud member of the American Heart Association First Coast Chapter Board of Directors, I am honored to invite all Ospreys—faculty, staff, and students—to join me in supporting the 2025 First Coast Heart Walk. This is more than a walk; it’s a movement that saves lives, raises awareness, and strengthens our bond as a university family. Let’s walk together—for our health, for our loved ones, and for a stronger Jacksonville."
