The College wins national award for faculty FCCJ received a Certificate of Excellence in the 1995 Theodore M. Hesburgh Award competition, a national award given by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association—College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA—CREF). The award, presented at the American Council on Education’s annual meeting last month, was given to FCCJ for its innovative faculty development programs. The Hesburgh Award acknowl- edges innovative, successful faculty development programs designed to enhance undergraduate teaching. One award and five certificates of excellence were given this year, making FCCJ one of only six col— leges and universities in the nation to be selected for recognition. “FCCJ is especially proud to receive this award because it is an affirmation of our commitment to meaningful learning and excellent teaching,” said District President Charles Spence. “The College’s achievements in this area could not have been possible without the ded- ication and hard work exhibited by our faculty members.” FCCJ was recognized for the accomplishments of its Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, which was established in 1988. The Center, organized and directed by faculty members, focus- es on perennial and emerging issues in higher education; the use of new educational technologies in the classroom; the development and use of teaching and learning development procedures to promote student suc- cess and retention; and faculty assistance in learning outcomes. “The Center was built on the philosophy that faculty are the key to improving student learning,” said Spence. “By giving faculty members opportunities to test their teaching ideas and put research results into practice, we’re impact- ing student success.” The Center has worked to achieve its goals by implementing programs for faculty research mini- grants, classroom research, cooper- ative learning, adjunct faculty development and faculty spotlights. In addition, the Center sponsors the National Conference on College Teaching and Learning, which Continued on page four FCCl’s new logo: A ’star is born The year was 1986. In celebration of Florida Junior College’s name change to Florida Com- munity College at Jacksonville, the College’s public affairs department developed a new logo which depicted “... the dynam- ic, state-of—the-art excitement of Florida Community College at Jacksonville” (from Outlook, Oct. 1986). Since that time, the logo, affectionately known as the “hockey sticks,” has appeared on all College publications, documents and merchandise. Today, FCCJ is trading in its hockey sticks for a logo that is far more appropriate: a star. The idea of creating a new College logo began last fall follow- ing an external advisory commit- tee’s recommendations, according to Wendy Morrow, director of mar- keting and public relations. “They LEI Florida Community College at Jacksonville thought that we should have a symbol that is more recognizable, one that people can identify as FCCJ,” she said. “They also agreed that the star was a good concept and that we should incorporate it into more of what we do.” The resulting logo combines both suggestions (you might say we killed two birds with one star) into a modern design that is also more versatile than its predecessor. “The new logo gives FCCJ an updated look. And it gives us a vertical for- mat that we didn’t have before, which will enable us to be more cre- ative in designing publications,” she said. Publications that feature FCCJ’s new logo have been popping Florida Community College at Jacksonville up since its becoming “official” on Jan. 1, 1995. The process of imple— menting the logo Collegewide, however, is expected to take considerably longer, Morrow said. “We are not going to take everything with the old logo and throw it in the trash. That would be quite expensive,” she said. “Instead, we will incorpo- rate the logo into new publications and merchandise as they are print- ed. It’s definitely going to be a gradual process.” Faculty and staff who have questions about the use of the new logo should contact the marketing and public relations department at 632-3125. The department can also provide the new logo on logo sheets or on floppy disks for IBM and Macintosh computers. History repeats itself While FCCJ’s logo has undergone a facelift, the offi- cial College seal remains intact. The reason, Morrow said, is because of tradition. “The seal was created when the College was created; it represents our roots,” she said. “In that respect, it’s really kind of sion sacred.
