Sophomore UNF Library Field Trip InfoBased on the closures of schools, universities and the museum, we will re-schedule the UNF Library Field Trip for the Fall Semester. Please reach out to us if there is anything that you may need, and if we can't personally assist you and your family, we can at least point you in the right direction.
Like you all, we look forward to the time when we are finally able to return to normal and our regular every day routines. |

Seminar Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please remember that all students must enter and exit the Museum via the back door and we ask that you park or get dropped off in the parking lot at the foot of the bridge. If you are coming from the Main Street bridge, take the IMMEDIATE right turn at the light at the off-ramp, to turn into the museum parking lot. If you are using Waze or Google Maps, select the "Parking Lot" function or use Friendship Fountain as your destination, instead of the Museum, since the programs provide "Door-To-Door" driving directions.
Typically the front entrance to the museum is locked and we cannot open those doors after hours. On a few rare occasions, there is another event scheduled at the same time as our seminar. For safety's sake, please adhere to the established policies for entrance and exit, and try not to venture into other areas of the building. Once the seminar has ended, please make sure that you stand where the Joe Berg Staff can maintain visual contact until your ride has arrived.
