New mentorship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students
Most students can benefit by having a mentor. The School of Communication’s recently expanded mentorship program allows you to find a mentor who is a successful local professional in advertising, journalism, public relations or production. They can give you valuable advice about what it takes to get ahead in your career. The mentorship website has more information about who our mentors are and how to get in touch with the mentor of your choice. They are all eager to hear from you: Communication Mentorships

#Osprey Outing - August Meet Up
The UNF Communication Alumni are hosting a “Welcome Back” meet up at Cantina Laredo on Tuesday, August 27 from 6 – 8 p.m. Alumni and current communication students are encouraged to attend. This event coincides with the alumni’s monthly Osprey Outings and is a great way for current students to meet alumni in a relaxing and fun environment. For more information, contact Prof. Bobbi Doggett at rdoggett@unf.edu .

Alpha Epsilon Upsilon chapter
Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the National Communication Association’s official honor society at four-year colleges and universities. LPH is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS). LPH represents what Aristotle described in Rhetoric as three ingredients of persuasion: logos (Lambda), meaning logic; pathos (Pi), relating to emotion; and ethos (Eta), defined as character credibility and ethics.

The Alpha Epsilon Upsilon AEY chapter of Lambda Pi Eta at the University of North Florida was charted in 2019 to continue the tradition and uphold excellence in the discipline of Communication. Eligible students will be sent an email shortly so be on the lookout for your invitation to join the Alpha Epsilon Upsilon chapter at UNF.

For more information, contact Dr. Christine Holland at cholland@unf.edu or (904) 620-2651.

April 22nd Edition

Informational session about the M.S. in Communication Management, April 24
Those interested in the department's master's degree in communication management are invited to attend the informational session below:

Wednesday, April 24, 6 to 7 p.m.

Lobby (second floor) of Communication building (Building 14D)

2019 spring graduates invited to school's graduation reception
Spring 2019 graduates are invited to bring their families to attend the School of Communication graduation reception. The school's reception will be held on graduation day, Friday, April 26, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., in the Student Union Ballroom - 3804. That leaves you and family members plenty of time to attend Commencement, which begins at 4 p.m. This reception will give graduates the chance to say goodbye to favorite professors and classmates. Light refreshments will be provided. The school will also recognize the 2018-2019 Outstanding Graduates in the various disciplines, as well as honor scholarship winners, and talk about the benefits of joining the school's alumni association. Please RSVP.

Student email account changes
In order to provide better collaboration with the Office 365 tools, students will soon have an email account in the same environment as faculty and staff. During this transition, students will have two UNF mailboxes, their old one that uses "N-number@ospreys.unf.edu" and a new one that uses "N-number@unf.edu." Starting Tuesday, May 7, email communication from University systems will be delivered to the @unf.edu account only. Students will click the "Email" tile in myWings to access their new email account.

Beginning May 7, students will want to log in to their Ospreys account by clicking on the "Old Email" tile in myWings and activate automatic forwarding so any email still being sent to their Ospreys account is redirected to the new account. It's recommended students also turn on an "Out of Office" notice that directs email senders to contact them at their new @unf.edu address. Both the UNF and Ospreys accounts will be active for a period of time to enable transition to the new Office 365 environment. Communication will be sent prior to the Ospreys account being deactivated. Visit this webpage for additional information.

Contact: ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@unf.edu or (904) 620-4357.

WHO: Writers from Jacksonville and surrounding areas who want to improve their writing while helping others to improve, as well.

WHAT: Gentle critiques of poems and short prose pieces by and for beginning, student, professional, and published writers.

WHEN: Today, April 8, 2019 at 6-9 P.M.

WHERE: FSCJ. South Campus, 11901 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32246, Building T, Room 101

The JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VI will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2019.

One of our goals this year is to encourage Jacksonville writers who have not yet taken part in this annual celebration of "Jacksonville writers writing Jacksonville" to participate. To that end, UNF, FSCJ and JaxbyJax has teamed up to host monthly writing workshops at various locations around the city so that both student and non-student writers from the Jacksonville-area community can find out more about the festival, and also polish their writing through gentle critiques of their work.

Please bring 20 copies of your poem or short prose piece. You'll get to hear your work read aloud by another writer, and then receive spoken feedback and written suggestions to take home. JaxbyJax Writing Workshops are free, and open to the public (high school and older, please.) Participation in the workshop does not guarantee acceptance into the juried literary festival.
