Student Service
Student Service encompasses 29 departments and units providing a generous array of programs, services, and credit and non-credit learning opportunities that complement students' classroom experiences and prepare them for a post-college life as engaged citizens. Student Service delivers transformational learning opportunities such as study abroad, student leadership development programs, projects that develop civic responsibility, career identification and preparation programs, and hands-on involvement in campus governance.
Student Service departments also provide a wealth of services that can help students outside the classroom to enrich their lives and improve their studies. The Counseling Center, Student Accessibility Center, Fraternity and Sorority Life, International Center, LGBTQ Resource Center, Military and Veterans Center, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Student Health Services, and more have resources to help students meet their personal needs and find their place on campus. Career Services offers assistance in navigating internships and finding employment, while Osprey Life, the Student Union and Recreation and Wellness provide entertainment and wellness opportunities through the year.
Undergraduate and graduate students wishing to explore or enhance their grasp of various academic majors will also find meaningful non-credit experiences in a number of the Student Service departments. For example, Communications, English, and Art and Design majors can hone their skills on the staff of UNF's student media outlet, Spinnaker Media; Accounting majors can serve on Student Government's Budget and Allocations Committee; and students in a variety of majors can find rewarding experiences in the Student Union.
Student Service departments also offer opportunities specifically for graduate students. For instance, the LGBTQ Resource Center works with graduate students seeking practicum/internship and volunteer opportunities. The Counseling Center serves as an approved internship site for students completing their graduate training in mental health counseling. UNF Preschool and Recreation and Wellness both offer undergraduate and graduate students opportunities for internships and volunteer work. Opportunities also exist for veterans who apply for a Veterans Affairs (VA) Work Study position at the Military and Veterans Resource Center.
