Literature Professor Richard Bizot, a charter member of the Dept., was the catalyst and longtime coordinator of Irish Studies at UNF. In addition to designing and teaching courses on Irish fiction, poetry, and drama, he conducted literary tours of Ireland in 1986, 1987, 1990 and 1992, for university students and members of the community. In 1991, Bizot was instrumental in bringing Irish poet John Montague to UNF for the first Irish Studies event on campus.\nIn March 1995, a formal Irish Studies Program was initiated through the generosity of the Schultz Foundation, a Jacksonville, Florida, family foundation. UNF was the recipient of funding from the Foundation in the memory of John Francis Reilly, the Irish-born father of Nancy Reilly Schultz. The Foundation supported Irish Studies at UNF for ten years, and underwrote both the John Francis Reilly Performance and Lecture Series and the Reilly Fellowship program. A UNF Irish Studies Committee supervised the Series; initial members were Richard Bizot (chair), Dale Clifford, Betty Flinchum, Charles Galloway and Debra Murphy.\nThe Reilly Performance and Lecture Series presented 101 public events from its inception in Fall 1995 until Fall 2008. Irish poet and educator Seamus Deane presented the Inaugural Series Lecture, \"Irish Studies: Rereading a Culture,\" on November 9, 1995. Other Reilly Series events included poetry readings, concerts, lectures, film series, exhibits and symposia. The Reilly Fellowships for curriculum development were awarded to eleven UNF faculty members who developed a variety of Irish Studies courses in art, film, Celtic spirituality, education, history, literature, nursing, political science and sociology. As a result, UNF faculty and students have presented scholarly papers at many Irish Studies conferences in the United States and Ireland.\nIn totality, the Irish Studies Program raised more than $100,000 in contributions to the UNF Foundation, establishing one endowment - the Moriarty Endowment, named after Professor Bizot's mother's family, and more than $100,000 in in-kind contributions.\nIn November 2008, due to budgetary constraints, most of the operations of the Irish Studies Program were suspended by the University until further notice. The last major event held was a Samuel Beckett Festival, featuring a trilogy of world-class events on October 30 - November 6, 2008.","Note written by ","The Commencement Records consist of printed materials, memorabilia, and regalia dating from the University's first commencement (June 10, 1973) to the most recent commencement.

State Senator John E. Mathews, Jr. introduced a higher education bill calling for a feasibility study for a Duval County \"senior\" college. The study, with a positive recommendation for an upper and graduate level Duval County institution, was published by the Board of Regents in May 1967.\nThe first phase in UNF's development was the selection of a permanent location. In April 1968, a Site Selection Committee was appointed, and Jacksonville businessman Gert Schmidt was named chairman. Other members of the Site Selection Committee were Hugh Abernathy, Charles Brooks, Kenneth Craig, Justin Montgomery, Jack Quaritius and John Trekell. On September 4, 1969, after extensive studies and rigorous debate between urban and suburban site supporters, the Board of Regents accepted a 1,000 acre site in south Jacksonville from the City of Jacksonville for the permanent campus.\nOn July 11, 1969, the Board of Regents announced that the new institution would be called the University of North Florida and appointed Dr. Thomas G. Carpenter as its first President. As the founding UNF administrator, he personally directed the physical development and initial administrative organization of the University and assembled a team of faculty, administrators, and support staff.\nOn September 1, 1969, the skeleton University staff occupied its first home: one large room on the sixth floor of the Florida National Bank Building in downtown Jacksonville. In August 1970, after the recruitment and the continuing addition of personnel, the University moved to its second (and last) interim location, the former Florida Chamber of Commerce building on Arlington Expressway.\nThe official Groundbreaking ceremony for the new campus was held on September 18, 1971. President Carpenter welcomed over 600 guests, among them keynote speaker Governor Reubin Askew, state and local dignitaries, faculty and staff, and the general public, including prospective students. After a fast track construction program, the University opened on October 2, 1972, as an upper division and graduate institution with a 2,027-member student body.
