  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.

  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.

   Spring 2019 registration tips for M.S. in Communication Management graduate students

  If you encounter any problems with registration, you may need a “prerequisite override” or other fix . Your graduate advisors, Dr. John Parmelee and Dr. Tulika Varma, are happy to see what your options are.

   

  Core Requirement courses being offered in Spring 2019 : MMC 6426-Qualitative Research Methods in Mass Communication and MMC 6421-Quantitative Research Methods in Mass Communication. Please note that MMC 6206-Ethics in Communication Management will be offered in summer 2019, not spring 2019.

   

  Good “departmental electives” that are available for Spring 2019 : MMC 5267-Issues in Emerging Media and COM 5627-Lying and Deception.

   

  For your “outside concentrations” courses (pick only one concentration from these: Business, Public Health, Leadership, Nonprofit Management or Public Management): Check which courses are acceptable at MS Communication Curriculum. Then see what’s available from the outside department/college. Exceptions can be made if the Department of Communication and the outside department/college agree. Check with your graduate advisor first.

   Spinnaker Media: a great leadership opportunity for students right on campus

  One of the most important things students can do while in college is to get as much authentic experience as possible in their field of study. Spinnaker Media, the student media outlet at UNF, has an opportunity that will look outstanding on the resume of any communication student. 

  Spinnaker Media is looking for student advisory leaders to serve on its Advisory Board, which meets once a month, usually on a Friday morning in the Spinnaker office. 

  This Advisory Board consists of students, professors as well as media professionals from the area. It is responsible for selecting Spinnaker student employees and volunteers who will guide the various media sections each semester and also reviews and advises on potential policy changes in how the student media organization is run. 

  This Advisory Board leadership position is usually a one-year appointment, (although exceptions are made if a student is graduating before the one year). All students in the Department of Communication are eligible to serve (advertising, public relations, journalism or production). However, they must have taken MMC 3200-Law and Ethics of Communication.

  This is a phenomenal opportunity for a few select students. Not only does it look good on a resume, it gives you leadership experience, provides inside information on the formal running of a board, allows you to network with both community and UNF representatives, and gives you deep insight into the workings of a media organization.

  If you'd like to be considered to serve on the Spinnaker Media Advisory Board, please send resume and a letter of interest explaining why you feel you would be a good candidate for this position to professor Bobbi Doggett. Either drop a hard copy at the front desk in the main communication office or email it to professor Doggett at  rdoggett@unf.edu

  Leadership Opportunity for Comm Students

  One of the most important things students can do in their undergraduate program to prepare for their eventual entrance into the real world is to get as much authentic experience as possible in both their particular field of study and in leadership opportunities. 

  We have a special leadership opportunity for you that will look outstanding on the resume of any communication student.  And this opportunity is available to you now.

  Spinnaker Media, the student media outlet at UNF, is looking for student advisory leaders to serve on the Advisory Board.

   

  Spinnaker Media is overseen by both an on-staff advisor and a special Advisory Board that consists of students, professors and media professionals from the outside community.  This Advisory Board is charged with selecting the Spinnaker student employees and volunteers who will guide the various media sections each semester and also reviews and advises on potential policy changes in how the student media organization is run.  The Advisory Board meets only once per month for about two hours (usually on a Friday) in the Spinnaker office.

   

  This Advisory Board leadership position is usually a one-year appointment, (although exceptions are made if a student is graduating before the one year). All students in the Department of Communication are eligible to serve (advertising, public relations, journalism or production). However, they must have taken the Media Law and Ethics course.

  This is a phenomenal opportunity for a few select students.  Not only does it look good on a resume, it gives you leadership experience, provides inside information on the formal running of a board, allows you to network with both community and UNF representatives, and gives you deep insight into the workings of a media organization.

   

  If you'd like to be considered to serve on the Spinnaker Media Advisory Board, please send resume and a letter of interest explaining why you feel you would be a good candidate for this position to Professor Bobbi Doggett, the department's representative on the Advisory Board. Either drop a hard copy at the front desk in the main communication office or email it to Professor Doggett at  rdoggett@unf.edu .

  In addition to brining the pre-production, production and post-production phases you've studied to life with volleyball and basketball productions for ESPN+ and ESPN3, the course will include guest speakers from Turner Sports, PGA Tour Entertainment, Jacksonville pro and minor league sports teams and local production houses. The guests will include UNF alumni and provide a valuable networking opportunity.

  Leadership Opportunity for Comm Students

  One of the most important things students can do in their undergraduate program to prepare for their eventual entrance into the real world is to get as much authentic experience as possible in both their particular field of study and in leadership opportunities. 

  We have a special leadership opportunity for you that will look outstanding on the resume of any communication student.  And this opportunity is available to you now.

  Spinnaker Media, the student media outlet at UNF, is looking for student advisory leaders to serve on the Advisory Board.

   

  Spinnaker Media is overseen by both an on-staff advisor and a special Advisory Board that consists of students, professors and media professionals from the outside community.  This Advisory Board is charged with selecting the Spinnaker student employees and volunteers who will guide the various media sections each semester and also reviews and advises on potential policy changes in how the student media organization is run.  The Advisory Board meets only once per month for about two hours (usually on a Friday) in the Spinnaker office.

   

  This Advisory Board leadership position is usually a one-year appointment, (although exceptions are made if a student is graduating before the one year). All students in the Department of Communication are eligible to serve (advertising, public relations, journalism or production). However, they must have taken the Media Law and Ethics course.

  This is a phenomenal opportunity for a few select students.  Not only does it look good on a resume, it gives you leadership experience, provides inside information on the formal running of a board, allows you to network with both community and UNF representatives, and gives you deep insight into the workings of a media organization.

   

  If you'd like to be considered to serve on the Spinnaker Media Advisory Board, please send resume and a letter of interest explaining why you feel you would be a good candidate for this position to Professor Bobbi Doggett, the department's representative on the Advisory Board. Either drop a hard copy at the front desk in the main communication office or email it to Professor Doggett at  rdoggett@unf.edu .

   

  Live Multicamera Sports Production course

  Need a class for the of Fall 2018 with no prerequisites and plenty of immersive learning in production? 

  
  How about taking RTV 4930 - Live Multicamera Sports Production course. 
  If you're a production major, it's experience you absolutely need regardless of your focus, and if you're not it's still a great experience to add to your resume. ESPN is a pretty well-known operation in our field. 

  
  In addition to brining the pre-production, production and post-production phases you've studied to life with volleyball and basketball productions for ESPN+ and ESPN3, the course will include guest speakers from Turner Sports, PGA Tour Entertainment, Jacksonville pro and minor league sports teams and local production houses. The guests will include UNF alumni and provide a valuable networking opportunity. 

  
  ESPN3 is growing and winning awards. Get involved and GET CREDIT. 
  Any questions? Feel free to contact me at d.deeley@unf.edu . Check out the Sample of UNF ESPN 3 Promo .

There are about 2,000 majors in the school, and almost all of them work at least part time to support their education. Under normal circumstances, paying tuition and other associated costs can be hard. For some, Harvey has made it that much harder. Supporting this fund can reduce the need for students to choose between continuing college and acquiring basic necessities. 100% of your donations will be used for students in need. Anything can help. Simply choose the “Valenti Scholarship Fund” on this page: https://giving.uh.edu/communication/

  Department of Communication now has a second major to choose from

  In an effort to offer more choices to students, the Department of Communication has created a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies. The B.A. in Communication Studies includes courses in mediated, interpersonal, and organizational communication. The B.A. in Communication Studies differs substantially from the department’s existing Bachelor of Science in Communication in that the B.S. focuses on preparing students for mass media jobs in journalism, advertising, public relations, and production, while the new B.A. focuses on interpersonal and organizational communication within a wider variety of businesses and organizations. The B.A. in Communication Studies will equip students to pursue entry and/or supervisory positions in the public, private, non-profit, and governmental sectors in which critical thinking, research methods and effective communication skills are required. Occupations include organizational trainer, human resources officer, sales representative, buyer, or governmental program coordinator. Some graduates with a B.A. in Communication Studies will enter advanced degree programs in the social sciences or professional degree programs, such as law school. Classes start this fall. For more information, contact your advisor or a member of our communication studies faculty. The curriculum is available on the department’s website: http://www.unf.edu/coas/communication/Programs_of_Study.aspx

  Students invited to take survey on political Instagram use

  Do you follow any political leaders on Instagram? If so, please take a quick academic survey, which is for research being conducted by several professors in the department: https://unf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0iY2fcC9QBom3Ep

  Valenti School of Communication at the University of Houston seeking help

  Dr. Temple Northup, Director of Valenti School of Communication at the University of Houston, has created an emergency scholarship fund for students in his department. There are about 2,000 majors in the school, and almost all of them work at least part time to support their education. Under normal circumstances, paying tuition and other associated costs can be hard. For some, Harvey has made it that much harder. Supporting this fund can reduce the need for students to choose between continuing college and acquiring basic necessities. 100% of your donations will be used for students in need. Anything can help. Simply choose the “Valenti Scholarship Fund” on this page: https://giving.uh.edu/communication/

  Department of Communication now has a second major to choose from

  In an effort to offer more choices to students, the Department of Communication has created a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies. The B.A. in Communication Studies includes courses in mediated, interpersonal, and organizational communication. The B.A. in Communication Studies differs substantially from the department’s existing Bachelor of Science in Communication in that the B.S. focuses on preparing students for mass media jobs in journalism, advertising, public relations, and production, while the new B.A. focuses on interpersonal and organizational communication within a wider variety of businesses and organizations. The B.A. in Communication Studies will equip students to pursue entry and/or supervisory positions in the public, private, non-profit, and governmental sectors in which critical thinking, research methods and effective communication skills are required. Occupations include organizational trainer, human resources officer, sales representative, buyer, or governmental program coordinator. Some graduates with a B.A. in Communication Studies will enter advanced degree programs in the social sciences or professional degree programs, such as law school. Classes start this fall. For more information, contact your advisor or a member of our communication studies faculty. The curriculum is available on the department’s website: http://www.unf.edu/coas/communication/Programs_of_Study.aspx

  Students invited to take survey on political Instagram use
