Announcements –
Collegiate Leadership Jacksonville is now recruiting; Dr. Daniel previously nominated, graduate research
student, Kelly Turner. Kelly went last summer and said it was a life changing experience. Dr. Daniel feels
it is a wonderful experience for the advanced undergraduate or graduate student to get connected to
community resources, understand issues in the urban community, and to view themselves as emerging
leaders that can take responsibilities. Dr. Daniel will forward the nomination form to the Department
chairs.
Lois Dellar is the new COEHS chairperson for our USPS staff. The first USPS staff meeting will be on
February 5 from 9:00 – 10:30am.
Dr. Lupi is still waiting for Dr. Waldrup to get back to her regarding a 20 hour per week OPS person to
rotate the departments.
Please let Dr. Lupi know if your faculty would be willing to do a poster session to share their research
with COEHS and the UNF community.
At this time, COEHS cannot fund standing display cases for departments. Small display cases that attach
to the wall may be affordable.
In preparation of the 2013 COEHS Scholar Convocation, Dr. Lupi shared a schedule to help department
chairs prepare. This will be the 4th annual COEHS Scholar Convocation. The scholar convocation will be
for graduates for the academic year, not exclusive to spring 2013 semester.
Dr. Ouyang’s visiting scholar, Dr. Paik arrived on January 14; she will be here for one year.
Drs. Cornett, Johnson, and Poppell have been meeting systematically with representatives from each of

various districts. The group would also like to meet with Superintendent Van Zant from Clay County.
