  • This week, we are halfway through the spring semester. We are looking forward to gathering in person for commencement ceremonies soon, and we are also looking ahead to the fall. -- We have many reasons to be optimistic: lower COVID-19 positivity rates in our community and around the country, decreasing hospitalization rates, accelerating vaccine distribution, and ongoing research to improve our understanding of how to protect ourselves and our communities. With these trends in mind, we are planning and preparing for a fully in-person fall semester. What does this mean? -In-person classes -Face-to-face student group meetings, activities, and programs -Fans at sporting events -Fine arts performances with in-theater audiences -The gradual reintroduction of bigger events We will spend the months leading up to August preparing to maximize the student experience while continuing to prioritize health and safety. -- This plan relies on a central assumption that the positive trends we are seeing now will continue to improve. With continued positive conditions, it’s possible some safety precautions could be lifted sooner than the fall. However, if conditions worsen, we will change our plan accordingly to protect our students and our community. As we have throughout the pandemic, we will continue to follow the guidance of local, state, and federal health officials. University leadership will continue to meet frequently, and we will provide detailed plans about the policies and procedures you can expect on campus this fall as we get closer to the start of the fall semester. -- In the meantime, we ask you to continue to take necessary precautions like wearing your mask, practicing social distancing, & closely monitoring your health. If you feel symptoms, even allergy-like symptoms such as a headache, congestion, or sore throat, stay home & contact the Student Health Center or your healthcare provider. If you decide to get tested off-campus, please report your test using one of the online forms: Student Self-Reporting and Faculty & Staff Self-Reporting. As we move forward with optimism, the health & safety of every member of our campus community remains our highest priority.

  • #WomenWednesday for #WomensHistoryMonth continues with Lindsey Craft MBA '15 @jualumni. Lindsey is a Technical Project Manager at @blackknightinc. Her advice for soon-to-be Dolphin alumni? Network, network, network! If you are interested in someone's job or career, don't be afraid to reach out and ask if you can have an informational interview. You never know where that conversation can lead... potential job opportunities, internships, etc.

She was inspired to continue her education and ultimately became a double Dolphin (@jualumni) in 2014 when she earned a doctorate in nursing practice. In 2015 she returned to her alma mater as a clinical assistant professor in the Keigwin School of Nursing to develop and lead the adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner program. Borne was instrumental in developing the Student Health Center at Jacksonville University. She is also a founding member of the DolphiNurse Alumni Network Board (@dolphinurse).
