America 250 Florida initiative

This year, as our nation celebrates an incredible 250 years, the University of North Florida is joining in on the celebration.

UNF is partnering with organizations across the state for the America 250 Florida initiative, a vibrant, statewide effort highlighting Florida’s influential role in the American story. Throughout the spring, the campus will come alive with events that explore the people, ideas, and pivotal moments that have shaped the past two and a half centuries. Through a collaborative effort between the President’s Office, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Office of the Provost, the Thomas G. Carpenter Library, the Military and Veterans Resource Center, and the Office of Public Policy Events, Ospreys and community members can look forward to a rich lineup of celebrations, thought‑provoking programs, and inspiring experiences. It’s a milestone year — and UNF is ready to make it memorable.
