President Saunders' 观点, Op-Eds and Podcast Interviews
Dr. 玛莎D. Saunders shares her insights as University President through viewpoints, op-eds and podcast interviews.
Recently, UWF announced the public phase of the “Here for Good” capital campaign. I really like the campaign title because it reflects the University’s growth as a steadfast member of the Northwest Florida community for more than half a century. 我们在这里有一段时间了. We are here to stay, and we are here for the good of our community. 更重要的是, the Here for Good campaign is a proclamation — a promise to unleash the best that UWF has to offer for the good of our students, 我们的地区, 我们的国家.
Will Rogers once said, “One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.” As I write this viewpoint in the waning days of 2023, I’m filled with overwhelming gratitude for a splendid year, and the support of a great community.
The 火博体育 proves that the fusion of arts and sciences enhances education and prepares students for a collaborative, 创造性的未来. Read my latest viewpoint in the 彭萨科拉火博体育杂志 on how UWF is breaking barriers by implementing STEAM projects on campus and in the classroom.
UWF's contributions go beyond classrooms — they encompass the preservation of history and service. October is American Archives Month, and we celebrate our strong ties to Pensacola and its rich heritage through the UWF Archives and Historic Pensacola. Read more about our archives and innovative projects that showcase history's relevance in our community in my latest viewpoint in the 彭萨科拉火博体育杂志.
UWF achieved a historic enrollment record this year with more than 14,000 students joining us this fall — our highest enrollment in 56 years. Read my latest viewpoint in the 彭萨科拉火博体育杂志 on how UWF is shaping a diverse campus, focusing on student success and adding in-demand programs.
From its 30 properties serving residents, 它的公共广播, its many school camps - and most importantly through its people - UWF is a vital partner.
College is a big investment of time and money and should not be undertaken lightly. And with a robust job market, why go to the bother? I can think of a few reasons.
With a new comprehensive master plan awaiting implementation, walkability is a front-and-center issue at UWF. I walk the Pensacola campus almost every day and find it gives me a greater appreciation for campus activity, traffic flow and the general mood of our students.
College is a great place to fall in love, and a lot of people do. Many meet their life partners on campus. Some researchers believe that people who meet in college make the absolute best married couples.
As we wrap up the last few days of 2022, I'm reminded of the days and months spent fulfilling our mission as a leading institution of higher learning. The 火博体育 continues to reach for the stars. We had record enrollment, record gifts, national recognitions and so much more. Read about all the recognitions and rewards that rolled in for #UWF in 2022 in my recent viewpoint in the 彭萨科拉火博体育杂志.
How do we ensure a climate of civility and inclusion on a university campus at a time when we seem to be so far apart as a nation? The subject means enough to us at UWF that we added it as a direction on our newly approved strategic plan.
首页town universities bring many great things to a community, and the 火博体育 is no exception. You might be surprised to learn UWF’s contributions go far beyond educating students.
