Faculty features: faculty updates at Coggin College

Gallo honored as top First Coast Voice 

Dr. Andres Gallo, director of the International Business Program, was honored by the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at Jacksonville City Hall for his work and contribution to the Hispanic community in the First Coast region. 

Dr. Gallo was acknowledged as being one of the most influential and talented Hispanic voices in the Jacksonville area. The honor was bestowed on Dr. Gallo from the Voces de Hispanos project in the city in September. The project was launched by the Chamber in 2021 with the objective of honoring members of the community who contribute to increasing awareness and assistance in the Hispanic culture on the First Coast.   

Dr. Gallo is a native of Argentina and his academic focus is on Latin America and property rights. 

Marketers name award after Coggin College faculty member  

The American Marketing Association’s Retail & Pricing Special Interest Group announced they have named a mentoring award in honor of Dr. Greg Gundlach, distinguished professor of Marketing, Management & Logistics at the Coggin College. 

Not only has the award been named after him, but the award has been endowed by a donor so it will be a permanent award. There were also awards named after two other faculty at other institutions. 

“This is a huge honor for Greg, and recognizes the tremendous efforts he has made with respect to mentoring in the profession,” said Dr. Richard Buttimer, dean of the Coggin College of Business. “His work in this area reflects well not just on him, but also on UNF and the Coggin College, and I am delighted that his peers have seen fit to honor him in this extraordinary way.”
