COEHS Emeriti Faculty

 Dr. Betty M. Flinchum has had a distinguished career in education as a teacher, professor, director and administrator in several universities in the United States and abroad. In preparation for academic work, she received her Bachelor’s degree at Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina in 1957; Master of Education degree from University of North Carolina in 1962 and Doctor of Philosophy degree from Louisiana State University in 1972.

In the early part of her career, she taught in university positions related to the areas of movement education; motor development of young children and teacher education. Following her Master’s Degree, she was selected by the Woman’s College for an exchange position in England where she served as organizer of schools in Somerset County. In following years, she spent a Sabbatical Year and several summers in England researching movement education theory. During those early teaching years, her research in early childhood was widely published; her textbook was entitled Motor Development in Early Childhood. As her academic career progressed, she served in university administrative positions for the main part of her career and focused on international education and international development.

Flinchum began academic work as department chairperson and faculty at Newcomb College, Tulane University. After five years with AAHPERD/NEA in Washington, D.C. Flinchum served for thirty-two years as a professor of Education and Director of International Programs at the University of North Florida, Jacksonville (UNF). She continues to serve UNF as an Emeriti professor and consultant for international initiatives. As a Founding Faculty member at UNF, she initiated and developed the University’s international programs which included the establishment of Study Abroad Programs; international student programs; faculty linkages and exchanges with countries in Africa, Belize, Costa Rica, Czech and Slovak Republics, France, England, Ecuador, Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, Guatemala, several countries in the Caribbean, and Central and South America. During her tenure as Director, UNF’s international student body grew to include young scholars from over 100 foreign countries.

In the first ten years of international program development, Dr. Flinchum wrote, developed and administered over one million dollars in local, State and Federal grants. Those grant monies funded all UNF’s international programs and helped to internationalize the curriculum of several colleges. She was successful in receiving Federal grants from United States Information Agency (USIA); United States Department of Education (USDOE); United States Agency for International development (USAID) and Higher Education Development (HED). The USIA grants resulted in UNF’s highly successful Belize Partnership and she was a founding member of the Consortium on Belize Educational Cooperation (COBEC). The USAID and Florida/West Africa grants resulted in establishing the first Centre Universitaire (now the Universitaire de Bambey) in Senegal, West Africa. A grant to UNF from USAID’s Higher Educational Development established the first curriculum in Health Studies for that institution.

Dr. Flinchum served on the State of Florida’s International Council that developed the eleven Florida Linkage Institutes: one of those institutes is the Florida/West Africa Linkage Institute (FLAWI) where UNF was the lead institution. She served as Co-Director of FLAWI and as a Board Member and co-editor of the FLAWI Newsletter for over a decade. During her tenure on the FLAWI Board of Directors, she wrote many successful grants that provided tuition funds for students from West Africa to pursue studies in Florida universities; and monies for faculty exchanges between FLAWI universities and West Africa. In addition to FLAWI, Flinchum coordinated with the FLORICA Institute with Costa Rica and established a degree program in Port Administration offered by UNF at the University of Costa Rica in Limon for the employees of the ports in Jacksonville and Limon.

In addition to her academic duties, she also served as UNF’s Protocol Officer and as President of the Jacksonville Sister Cities Association that fostered linkages with cities in France, China, Russia, Korea, Puerto Rica, South Africa, and Argentina. In her role as educator and diplomatic leader, she became friends with many international personages; U.S. and foreign Ambassadors; Ministers and members of Parliament. Many of these international leaders provided exchange opportunities for UNF faculty and eminent lecturers for UNF students such as Nobel Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. An ardent videographer, she produced a video for Belize schools of Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Belize in 1994. This video received a letter of thanks from Her Majesty.

Currently, in the status of Emerita Professor, she continues to consult with the University in areas of international outreach. In 2007, she was in charge of the organization and administration of the Master of Education Program in Belize, Central America—an outgrowth of the U.S. government-funded international program that she initiated for the University in 1986, following the establishment of Independence for that new nation. That program has produced over 550 UNF graduates living and working in Belize for the betterment of that developing country.

In addition to development work in Belize, she has also served as consultant for UNF in exchanges with West Africa, France, Mexico, Costa Rica, Eastern Europe, England and the Caribbean. One of her most notable contributions is the establishment of the previously mentioned Universitaire de Bambey, the first Community College-based institution in West Africa. That college was an outgrowth of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) grant projects and FLAWI relationships in Senegal, West Africa. In their ten-year review of funded projects conducted in 2009, USAID and Higher Education for Development selected Flinchum’s Bambey project as their Success Story; one of only a few so honored. In the past two years, she has traveled to Senegal for UNF to work with the President and staff of the University of the Third Age (UNITRA) on joint projects and study abroad programs.

Selected notable awards include the Order of Distinction given by the nation of Belize for thirty years of service to their educational development; the Lifetime Achievement Award in International Development given by agencies in the City of Jacksonville for her significant work toward making Jacksonville an international city; the International Development Award from UNF for distinguished service to the University; and the Honorary Alumna Award for her “devotion to UNF students” and “initiating and developing” the University’s international program. In October, 2013, she was honored as a Woman of Distinction by her Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and received the high honor of the Woman’s College Legacy Award in 2019. On her retirement, she was elected as an Emeritus Professor of Education; an honor and high distinction for retired faculty at UNF. In February, 2019, she was selected by UNF as Emeriti Professor of the Year.

In addition to her professional career, Flinchum has been involved in several philanthropic endeavors. During her tenure at UNF, she gave the initial monies to establish two scholarships at the University of North Florida; one for Belizeans who wish to study education at UNF (named for her friend Sir Colville Young, Governor-General of Belize); and the first College of Education and Human Services faculty scholarship for needy students (named for her friend Ellis White, the first dean of Education at UNF and First Faculty). Her donations to the College of Education and Human Services, established an office for international initiatives named for her leadership. In addition to those scholarships, she established the Betty M. Flinchum Endowment for International Travel at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro which provides a scholarship to assist students who desire to study abroad.

One of her Belizean projects was the writing and compiling of an authorized biography of a prominent Belizean colleague and friend, entitled, A Cultural Legacy: Sir Colville Norbert Young, GCMG, MBE, and D.Phil. Governor-General of Belize. It was published in 2008 by Print Belize, Ltd.

On retirement, Flinchum established Cultural Connections, LLC. This company provided grant development seminars and custom designed international travel and cultural training services for individuals, companies and universities. She also volunteered as an international programing consultant for educational institutions in the United States and abroad and continues to provide custom-designed international tours for individual and group travel.
