3. Annual Giving & Development Report (Teresa Nichols, Director of Development):

Mark first talked about the request from him last year for faculty to consider giving 1% to

the college and many have stepped up to do that. We have decided to give out license

plate frames to everyone and hope that those that don’t give to the college will do so in

the future. Faculty and staff were invited up to pick up a frame of their choice.

Teresa reported that the fundraising plan for the college this year is just over $2.2 million

in gifts and pledges and she report that we have already raised over half of that figure in

the first quarter of this year. We closed the $1 million gift from Blanche and Luther

Coggin to allow us the Entrepreneur Center next year. The dues from the Dean’s

Business Advisory Council in coupled with the table sales and ticket sales for the Coggin

Gala have put us over $1.2 million for the quarter. You have seen communication on the

Gala and we would love to have you attend. There are many silent auction items.

Tickets are $150.00 each. $50.00 of that is charitable donation to the college. You may

fund your ticket by check, credit card, payroll deduction or with foundation funds. If you 1

have foundation funds available, you may use them for this event. Contact Teresa for

help with that. Teresa encouraged everyone to be giving back to the college even if it is

$1.00 a pay period. Mina congratulated Teresa on a wonderful job for raising funds for

the college. She also encouraged giving to the college. Dr. Steven Williamson also

encouraged everyone to give to the college as well.

Megan spoke about the Speaker’s Bureau website. There is a catalog of speakers

available. She updated everyone on the website and encouraged the use of this program

if the professor will be out of town- to use this rather than canceling a class. Megan will

be glad to attend with the speaker as well as arranging everything for you. These

speakers want to come and speak and they could be a possible donor. Please contact her

for help. She explained the website on how to arrange a speaker online.

6. Dean’s Update:

a) ML&SCM proposal in APC process- Mark thanked Rob Frankel for all of his work

for two years on that proposal. It is still working through the process.

b) Downtown campus update- Mark handed out a proposed floor plan for the facility.

We are now at a place that university has given us the authority to negotiate with one

of the landlords for space in the downtown campus. The landlord is committed to get

us in by next August, Mark is hesitant that we will be in at that time. One floor is a

teaching floor and the other is the Entrepreneurship Center. There will be some

tweaking on this so if you have comments or thoughts please let us know. There are a

couple of things that may go awry for the proposal, they have not given us the

parking space that we needed so there is a discussion with the city on that to be

resolved. There were three proposals presented. We have to negotiate and then have

them get started on the facility. Earle retires today, and Pam starts on Monday. We

are hoping that we can get the revenue sharing from the university. Without profit

sharing/revenue sharing we will not continue if the university will not contribute.

Questions were asked about the ways of teaching there and at the main university.

Mark indicated that they are working on systems to see what is available.

c) CCB faculty hiring approvals for Fall 2018

g) Departmental Advisory Committees-

7. Other CCB Unit Updates:

a) CMC & Marketing (Shannon Italia)- Shannon handed out Career Management

Center-Activity Summary – Fall 2017- She asked for everyone to encourage students

to visit the CMC about interning. We know that in combination with solid academic

performance in the classroom, interning is the single most important thing that

students can do to increase their opportunities for career advancement out of college.

They are 20% more likely to have multiple offers and they are more likely to make

more money than their peers that do not intern. She also talked about how the

external community will reach out to you and ask you who do you know that is a

good marketing student that can intern with my company. The most common

question asked is “How can I hire an intern” Feel free to forward those inquiries to

Shannon’s attention. Any support you would like in the classroom, feel free to reach

out to Shannon as well.

Mark announced that Shannon received a new title this summer: Sr. Director for

External Relations. Congratulations to her!

Mark also shared that he has received a couple of emails in the last couple weeks

from companies that stated that students were not prepared for interviews as well as

they should be. We are the front lines. We have to encourage students to use the

CMC. CMC will help them with their interview process, their resumes. When

students go out into the community they are representing us as well, so if they aren’t

7

prepared, that shows that we are not doing our job. Mark also shared that Deutsche

Bank has many openings, so if there are students looking for jobs they have them.

b) Advising Services (Jennifer Jackson) - Jennifer thanked her team for a great job on

the Major’s fair held on Friday, 9/29. Faculty and Staff that support it. The students

enjoyed it. Please keep comments coming to help. The 1614 students that Mark

showed earlier, those are students that the Advising team affects plus the students that

are already here. If we look, the team has a caseload of about 800 students, which is

above the national average. So you may not always see a lot of students sitting in the

lobby all the time, but the things that they do are behind the scenes. She appreciates

all that the team does. Jennifer shared, with the SPAC, Student Petition for Academic

Policy, if we have a couple of those that get hung up in the system from time to time,

you may get an email from Jennifer or the team, I will send out directions on how to

approve or make recommendations on those SPAC, if they are not recommended in a

timely manner, and get to the SPAC committee, there are financial implications on

students that we have to figure out how to fix, so Jennifer will get those directions out

to you. With the proposed changes coming concerning the speech course, and the

professional communication course, Jennifer wanted you to keep in mind, that when

it comes to catalog changes. All students are not impacted by catalog changes, so if

you are having conversations with students, remember for example: students that are

currently enrolled are not going to be required to take the professional communication

course. Those students who are currently enrolled in this current catalog year. But if

approved for the next catalog year, then of course those students will be required to

take the course. Just keep catalog year in mind when having those conversations.

Policy Acts open Oct 1 and close Oct 31. Kelly sent out an email to those students.

The graduation application deadline is Oct 12, so if you have seniors in your class if

you would please encourage them to apply and not to forget. Mark also thanked the

team for the Major’s Fair.

c) SBDC (Janice Donaldson) - The annual nonprofit management conference is coming

up on Oct 6. If you have an interest or your students, please let Janice know. Janice

thanked Diane Denslow, there are eight small business case studies in her Small

Business Consulting class, so those students are providing some great advising

recommendations to our small business clients. Janice also thanked Lakshmi for

providing a case study that she did her E-business strategy course which we have

8

submitted to the Small Business Institute for student project of the year, so we should

hear about that soon. She is also putting in a paper for that conference as well. The

thing that has impacted the most is hurricane Irma. We have been very involved in

working on disaster recovery, we are helping with SBA, federal disaster loans for

business, and they do home loans as well. Many people don’t know that there is a

state Florida small business disaster bridge loan. It is a loan that helps businesses

until their insurance comes through or until their federal loan comes through or until

they just recover. It is up to $50,000, no interest for six months. The SBDC is

accepting the applications, processing them, putting them before level committee and

closing the loan. We have handed out checks to small businesses and the success

story has been picked up by The Jacksonville Business Journal, The Florida Times

and the Wall Street Journal. We have accepted 57 applications, approved 39 for

almost $1million, and closed 15 of them. We will close the rest next week. It has

been challenging but rewarding – when you can hand someone a check.

8. Standing Committee Reports:

a) Bylaws (Chair, Robert Schupp)- No report

b) Continuous Improvement (Chair, Cheryl Frohlich)- Last meeting was held in July, it

was about replacing the SPC4064 with ENG3025. There was a multitude of

discussion. It was finalized in July that we should replace it with the ENG3025.

Some reasons were that there was one of the SPC4064 was actually online. Not sure

how a speech course could be online but it was. In looking at the other various

sessions, there were different things stressed in each and we felt it would be good idea

to replace it with ENG3025. ENG3025 is the writing center that is Ashley Faulkner.

Ashley has attended our meetings the last year. We had initially thought about

replacing it with our own course, but then you run into where do you put a business

course that is writing. Our decision was that the ENG3025 would be the best bet.

We are also looking at the assessment reports that were coming out. The student

learning objectives was another issue that came up. That was sent out to the various

chairs and the people involved in that discipline so they would decide what was the

major objectives of that discipline to be put into the report. Cheryl was not sure if

there were changes to that or not. Chris indicated they would be discussing. Cheryl

will send out an announcement when next meeting will be. Chris Johnson spoke –

Chris had handouts on the Proposal to Add ENC3250 and replace SPC4064 which

9

will both cover writing and oral communication. This was a recommendation from

the continuous improvement committee but of course we have to go through the

processes within the college and university to pass that legislatively. I have asked the

departments to take the proposals to the respective departments because it requires a

change in every program of study. We are waiting on a few departments to complete

this discussion. We then will need to take to the college curriculum committee and

then ultimately bring it to a college vote. Those things can be done in an electronic

vote but wanted to give you info on that today.

c) Scholarship (Chair, Oliver Schnusenberg) – no report

d) Strategic Planning (Co-chairs, Parvez Ahmed and Dag Naslund)- No report- Mark

commented that the university is looking for a new president, they just voted on a

new Strategic Plan for the university. It may be on the president’s website. They had

to get a new one in place for SAX accreditation that takes place this year. There is a

strategic plan in place so Mark is waiting to see what the plan will look like after new

president is here.

e) Technology (Chair, David Lambert)- Andres spoke and said they were looking into

combining the technology committees.

f) Technology Enhanced-Learning (Chair, Cheryl Van Deusen)- They are rewriting the

mission of the document for the committee for the DL to include hybrid courses.

Hoping to assist with funding for proctoring for online course for hybrid courses for

testing etc. The actually meeting will be in October.

g) Special Committee Reports:

a) Accreditation & Assessment (Director, Chris Johnson)- Information on the upcoming

visit on January 28-30, 2018. Our review team is listed and the update of the project.

David, Mark and Chris have a working draft for that report is in process. We expect a

final draft to be sent out to the Executive Committee and Academic Affairs for review

by October 16. It is due to the team by November 28th and we are on target to

meet that deadline. Looks in really good shape. In the spring it was mentioned that

the college had adopted this system to manage our faculty qualifications and other

aspects of accreditation moving forward. Chris is thankful to each of you that

submitted your faculty vitas. A couple of GA’s have been working very diligently

inputting your educational background activity as well as your scholar activities into

that system. I will be working with the university IT because they want us to develop

10

a common login that matches UNF credentials. By the end of next that process

should be complete and Chris will ask that faculty login to your individual account in

the system. Chris will send the instructions. Mark reiterated that it is important that

all faculty goes into that system and verify the information so that our report is

accurate. Mark also told committee chairs that we need minutes up-to-date on the

website, if anyone has been a chair in the last 5 years, please send those minutes of all

meetings to Susan or Laura so they can get them updated.

b) Research Databases (Sean Davis)- Sean reported that we have talked the past couple

of all college meetings and we have gotten some new data in. He handed out an

explanation of the systems in place and also emailed it to everyone with PDF links;

Compustat data base and Eikon. We have limited login so we have Jennifer to help

out with the process of logging in. Sean is on the campus technology committee and

asked the question “how many of you do the plagiarism check using the new verify

tool?” Comment that it is ‘O.k.’ Sean reported that the interfacing is changing. They

are working on some different things to use for verifying.

c) Distance Learning Committee: (Sean Davis) – They are working on what solution

was mentioned earlier – Examity is a full live tracking solution but there are some

quirks, so if you have feedback or opinions on this, please contact me.

Mark thanked Sean for his work on this. Mark thanked faculty that went to Crowley

for a luncheon, (Brian Flynn, Robert Frankel, Dong-Young Kim, Nathan Kunz, Dag

Naslund, David Swanson, Cheryl Van Deusen, Steven Williamson, Pingyang Zhang)

Crowley has research data that we can utilize. Drew Theoni spoke about research

data mark. The research data that Sean talked about is purchased data and Drew’s is

intended to allow to gather, , protect and distribute proprietary data from

companies like Mayo, Publix, Crowley, Suddah. The objective in his mind is to

create to central database that anyone in the college can use for research with real

data identified sole proprietor, real market data, operations data. Also this data can be

used for a single class project and a cross discipline project, so exceptionally you

could have a data set that is large and multi-discipline where a project could start in

one discipline one semester and the student could look up that data and look at it in a

different point of view in a different discipline across semesters. The project is brand

new so it will take some time build it in structures. Drew indicated that he wrote the

compliance policies, the legal policies, IT security policies and everything we need to

11

build such a data structure here. If you have existing proprietary data, we may have a

place to store that shortly and share that with the entire faculty and as we get

opportunities from external companies to provide us data, we now have the ability to

say we can accept it and this is how we protect it. If any questions, please contact

them.

h) Departmental News:

a) Accounting & Finance (Chair, David Jaeger)- David reported about a former

accounting student; Patrick Camish, he earned an undergrad in accounting and a

master accountancy degree last summer. In late spring it was announced he was a

winner of the 2016 award for AICPA. There were 100,000 candidates that took

the CPA exam during 2016- 58 qualified for the award. It goes to candidates that

score 95% or above on all four parts of the exam and pass all four parts on the first

attempt. Patrick is the first UNF grad ever to receive this award. We are really proud

of Patrick for receiving that award. 2)Last spring we were in the process of changing

the admission criteria as far as the test scores for the MBA and now we are in the

process of changing requirements for the GMAT, GRE for the MaCC program. What

we are doing is a version of what the MBA has changed too. If you are familiar there

are four levels in the MBA criteria. Our first level is very similar to the MBA level.

Our number two is like the number four in the MBA which essentially is if you do not

fit under the first one than basically we go back to the test score, do the index formula

as far the admission. It is going to mirror what the MBA does. 3) We are getting

Beta Alpha Si chapter going. This semester is the beginning of that process. This is

an international honor organization for accounting students, but includes accounting

finance and information system students. We are going to have an organizational

breakfast for a core group to start the group. That will be held in the next couple of

weeks. It is a very long process to be awarded the chapter. Thank you to Jeff

Michelman for voluntary to be the faculty advisor and is the person that taking on the

major task to getting everything done and getting the chapter established.

b) Economics and Geography (Chair, Albert Loh)

c) Management (Chair, Paul Fadil)- Still working on the curriculum. The minors in

Human Resource Management and Operations will be on the catalog in the fall of

2018. The Entrepreneurship course will move to be a requirement course for all

management majors and the entrepreneurship minor will also be a choice for

12

management majors as well. The two minors we are looking at is one in leadership

and one in MIS – that is down the road. We are looking at one in international, but

after discussion we decided to go with double major instead. Paul apologized to the

faculty about his reporting on Crytal’s passing, he didn’t give a lot of info because

she donated her body to science and her husband did not want any form of memorial

– she didn’t want any memorial. Paul is meeting with Bill her husband on Monday to

hopefully create an award in her name for the Best Strategic Management student at

the end of the year. Congrats to Dag Nasland, Dong-Young Kim and Lakshmi Doel

as being three of the five chairs. Lakshmi Doel is going up for full professor as we

speak, Kora Borches is going up for promotion as well. Thank the department heads

of the other disciplines for being so professional when we are going after the same

limited resource funds.

d) Marketing & Logistics (Chair, Reham Eltantawy)- Dawn Russell is the newly

appointed Director of MBA, MSM and Certificate Programs in Coggin - Reminder

this minor is only one year old and it is the now the 2nd largest minor. We have 8

minors in the college and we are the 2nd largest minor in just one year. Our marketing

concentration students is the 3rd largest of the ten Coggin concentrations. Online

SCM MBA course has 14 students. We started offering online courses more in the

spring and this fall. Scholarship news- Adel Elsansary is chartered distinguish

member of American Science and Association. He has worked on a piece that is

going to be published in the Amer. Science and Asso. Review.

Courtney Baker has two publications. One is in Consumption Market and Culture

and a second in the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing. Greg Gundlach also

has a publication. Young tae Choi has a piece published in the Asian Journal of

Communication.

David Swanson has had three publications – two in Transportation Journal, one in the

Journal of Marketing Channels. He co-authored one with Dawn Russell in the

Transportation Journal.

Mark congratulated Greg is the representative on the bargaining team so if you have

questions you may ask him.

i) Graduate Programs Update

a) MBA/MSM – Dawn Russell- She has centralized the information. Dawn has set

down the priorities 1)Outreach – going out to companies and growth and make the

13

program known, 2)Communication among faculty 3) Working relationships with all

the places that touch our graduate programs. She is working with Advising, Career

Services, the graduate school and many other areas. Dawn put together for faculty an

area for discussion, thoroughly voluntary information and discussion only. She put

together a CANVAS site. You can opt in or opt out. She calls it the “Directors

Online Forum”. It is for forum for faculty to get updates basically if you want to

know what Dawn is doing or rate what she is doing. She would like to run some

discussions and then the alternate month have a Canvas conference, so we actually

have some meetings on what is going on in the classroom. Dawn wanted to not only

focus on growth of the program but concurrently on quality of the program and

having good relationships around the university to be able to get done the things we

want to do process wise. Upcoming meetings: Dawn and Shannon going to Florida

Blue to talk about our programs. The certificate programs or potential joint

programs; the MBA/MHA is a program that we are working to formalize. Brooks

College is talking about pulling their faculty to see if they want to make this program

formal and if they do, then we decided that we would want to as well. Business

Analytics status – Dawn will be contacting those that are needed to have that move

forward. Dawn would like to run a discussion- if you are interested – you can answer

or not answer. She does want to hear from people. This system can be used in

different ways. If Mark needs to discuss something with three faculty- he can put it

on here.

b) MAcc – David Jaeger- David mentioned that they are working on changing

requirements for test scores. We have been on a steady increase in enrollment in the

program. Comparing Fall 2016 to Fall 2017, we are up about 13%. The last few

years we have seen a shift in the program, we still have a significant number of part

time students but more and more the larger percentage of full time students in the

program. A lot of that is being driven by the fact, the Big 4 and the next tier

accounting firms are hiring people if they graduate in Spring 2017 they are hiring

them to start in September 2018 and basically telling them you are hired a year out

and want them to get the 150 hours you need to be licensed to be a CPA and work on

the exam during that period so when they walk in the door they are basically ready to

go and don’t have to worry about those things.

j) Flagship Programs Update

14

a) IB Flagship – Andres Gallo- Congratulations to Lian An – started as full professor in

the Economics Department. Global MBA-We had 27 students at UNF for the Fall

semester and another 27 that are starting in Germany in October.

– This December there will be a meeting here at UNF – bringing all the faculty

members of the different schools that teach the program to have a workshop here

about teaching, about learning what they do in their classrooms compared to what we

do here. That will be a great opportunity for any of the faculty that would like to be

involved you are more than welcome to attend. Update on IB – We had the

International Conference at Austral University this past August and had six faculty

members participating: Paul Fadil, Albert Loh, Mina Baliamoune, Chiradip

Chaterjee, Adel El-Ansary and Andres Gallos. He hopes in the future we can do this

type of event in other places. We have some new partners – signing an agreement

with ZSEM Business School in Croatia, Shi Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and

Management, India, Universidad de La Plata, Argentina. The IB conference will

March16. Details will be out soon. We just had a visit from Felipe Ruiz Moreno,

from Universidad de Alicante, a professor of marketing. He had a chance to go into a

class. He is working on research. He spent three months here on research and tried to

get to know faculty members. Andres asked faculty to support our short term study

abroad programs and encourage students.

b) T&L Flagship – Robert Frankel – Robert thanked Jay Coleman for getting the

master’s program through the university bureaucracy. Rob is sure it would not have

gone as well as it did without his help. Lynn Brown received two university awards

in the last year – UNF Spot award- recognizes different service contributions at

different levels in the university and also voted the UNF Club Advisor of the Year for

the entire UNF university. There are over 130 clubs across campus. The funding

level – the flagship received several months ago, its third re-up from Rhian, the

organization that supports the case competition that is held here every year, they also

provide scholarship funding and some other support for other issues. That was about

$155,000 over a several year period. Thank you Teresa and Megan for their help with

that. T&L had just under $40,000 of scholarship award in this past academic year as

well.
