Faculty Paints Paws With The Downtown Chamber of Commerce!


This past Saturday a number of our faculty members participated in the Downtown Chamber of Commerce annual "Paint the Paws" event. This event is held at the start of each football season. Downtown Chamber of Commerce members secure the supplies and then paint the Jaguar Paws which line Bay Street downtown. The Jaguar Paws start several blocks from the Jacksonville Landing and end at the football stadium.

The Downtown Chamber of Commerce came on board as a Business Partner during the late part of the spring. They have graciously agreed to lend their talents and resources to various aspects of our program during this coming school year. This partnership was launched with members of the Chamber volunteering as door greeters during our Orientation!

Many of our faculty members decided to join the "Paint the Paws" event as a way to who our appreciation to the Downtown Chamber of Commerce for their support of our new program!
