“Top Five” songs to get you in the fall spirit
Fall is here, though probably only in name, in Florida. For those fortunate enough to enjoy a real, seasonable fall in a place where the seasons actually change, these songs will stir up those red, orange and yellow leaves in the back of your mind’s eye. For those who have only experienced the climatic boredom of the deep South, these songs will capture the spirit of the fall season and create a soundtrack as the nights get cooler and summer fades into mere memories.
Endless study abroad opportunities provide students fun, education
Have you ever wanted to see Paris? Go to London? See the majestic sites of Italy? Or traverse desert sands and see the pyramids of Egypt?
How would you like to meet fellow students from other countries and experience foreign cultures?
UNF can help answer some of these questions through study-abroad programs. Through short-term and semester programs, students can earn credit for school and experience the world.
Varsity Village plans include many upgrades, additions
At a time when budget cuts are on everyone’s minds, one might wonder where the UNF athletic department plans to get the money for an estimated $30 million project called UNF Varsity Village.
Students do not have to worry about seeing a raise in tuition for this project. UNF Varsity Village is going to be donor-funded. To date, a little more than $5 million has been raised, according to Shawn LaFata, director of media relations.

| Fenway Park. The “Green Monster” is one of the most iconic architectural creations in sports, and the atmosphere is second to none. Chowing down on Fenway Franks isn’t bad either. | Lambeau Field. It is flat-out one of the hardest environments to play at in sports. | Dolphin Stadium. There’s nothing like watching the Dolphins beat the snot out of their AFC East counterparts in the sweltering South Florida sun. | The National Ribbon Dancing headquarters in Vermont.

Search for new athletic director begins
The UNF athletic director search committee gathered for its first meeting Sept. 15 after this summer’s announcement that former athletic director Dr. Richard Gropper would be moving on.
The meeting was the beginning of a series scheduled to continue the second week in November, after the initial screening of applications is completed.
Team wins in overtime
The UNF men’s soccer team won its second consecutive game Sept. 20 against Flagler College 2-1 at Hodges Stadium. This marks the Ospreys’ third win of the season.
The game opened with play from both sides. In the 22nd minute, Flagler’s Conor Killeen dribbled past three players and kicked the ball into the goal.
The Ospreys spent the next 50 minutes trying to even the score.
Men finish second, women seventh
