• #PhinsUp for this #FacultyFriday 🐬! Our faculty member this week is Associate Director of Aviation Alix Melchionna. She has been flying since she was very young, after being able to solo on her 16th birthday, she received her private pilot certificate before her driver’s license. As usual, we asked her a few questions. ❓ What is your favorite part about being a professor? My favorite part of being a professor is getting to share my passion for all things aviation. Getting to see my former students as first officers fly the aircraft I am sitting in gives me great pride knowing that they are achieving their goals! ❓ Why do you like working at Jacksonville University? I love working at JU where our School of Aviation welcomes the elite aviation students from all over the world and offers small class settings and personalized attention! ❓ What is your best advice for the incoming students in the Fall? To the 2023 class, my advice to you is to get the full JU college experience! First, get involved by joining clubs/organizations that interest you, whether it’s Greek life, student government, or one of the many aviation organizations the School of Aviation offers. Second, make friends, trust me they will be your best friends for the rest of your life! Third, utilize office hours and get help/advice from your professors. Last, go to class! 90% of life is just showing up! ---- #JacksonvilleUniversity #Aviation #AviationMajor #Fly #Planes #WomenInAviation #Faculty

  • ❓What are you most passionate about and what are your plans for the upcoming Fall semester? .... “I’m originally from New York City🗽, and love the culture that comes from being in a city, which inspires a lot of my work. I have a passion for visual storytelling, and telling compelling stories with cameras and lighting. A single shot, lens choice, or light can completely change a character or subject, and I love exploring different styles and choices to develop a character and a story! This semester I will be producing and directing my own short film🎥, and am working as the cinematographer on another short film. More work will always come up, but that’s what I have planned right now! I will also be working with the @jusailingteam to do video work for them, and doing graphic design work for @dolphinproductions and @cityperkscoffeeco in Saint Augustine!- @cloud9_films, @julbscfa Animation and @jaxufilm major. ...

Starting every day knowing that I am fortunate to do what I love--work with students and faculty to advance #ART. ❓ What is your favorite memory or story from teaching? Leading JU students on two European concert tours--to France in 2013 and to Italy in 2016.

I help by ensuring that the college's facilities, technology, resources, and faculty are up to the challenge of educating the future generation of artists who will change their communities for the better. ❓ What do you like about working at Jacksonville University?
