    July 22, 2021 Deans & Department Chairs- It’s hard to believe that we are already at the end of July and looking at Fall starting a month from now. We have all faced truly unprecedented times and I once again thank you all for your hard work and ongoing efforts. Over the next few weeks additional informational emails will be sent out to a broader university community about the Fall start. Please watch for those messages and make sure they are shared as needed. As a reminder, registration for Fall is currently open. Orientation is ongoing as well. In this last year your instructors have demonstrated amazing flexibility and some truly innovational teaching techniques. I support and encourage that continued innovation. I applaud that ongoing effort, but also want to remind you of some basic parameters that must inform your decisions about Fall classes. As always, Space and Scheduling is available for questions and support. Face-to-Face classes and online approval Any class section already built and coded as face-to-face must remain coded as face-to-face, even if an online course approval is received prior to the start of Fall classes. You may add a new section that is coded as an online offering, adjust instructors across different sections, or even combine\co-list sections and teach them together. Students and parents have made housing, travel, and assorted planning decisions based on the Fall schedule. Changing instruction mode at this late date is not feasible and will negatively affect the students. Flex classes on Tallahassee campus Flex classes are still an option for Fall on the Tallahassee campus.

  • Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study
    Arts & Economic The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts .rMI Culture Organizations and Their Audience From the iconic images of the Florida Highwaymen to the museums that preserve and collect our history, arts and culture define us. They improve quality of life for Floridians and visitors to our state. The arts and culture inspire creativity and lifelong learning, build strong communities, and build a strong network for leadership that encourages a stronger Florida. The findings of The Arts and Economic Prosperity III reveal that, in addition to these innumerable benefits, arts and culture bring economic vitality to our state. This study reveals that the cultural industry is important to economic prosperity. In Florida, arts and culture mean business. With more than $3 billion in total direct expenditures into the Florida economy in 2008, arts and culture are sound investments in Florida’s future. In the pages to follow, you will read about the many ways that arts and culture are good news for those looking to strengthen Florida’s economy. Leaders in Florida are supportive of arts and culture because they have helped to bring new businesses and ventures to our state. In today’s competitive global marketplace, arts and culture can play an important role in attracting high-wage jobs and a creative workforce. The Arts and Economic Prosperity III expands that notion. Not only can the cultural industry play its important part in attracting business critical to economic recovery, this industry contributes directly to economic activity, supports jobs, and returns revenue to local and state government. The return on investment number speaks for itself.
