The Week Ahead: Intersession at UNF

Graphic by Rachelle Keller

UNF has just experienced a mass exodus as seniors graduated on July 31 and students moved off campus at the end of summer term. While it might seem like it’s just you and nature hanging out at UNF from Aug. 1 to Aug. 19, students can still work out, eat on campus and enjoy campus events.
