JFU History

Julia-Frances University was founded in 1940 by Stanley and Catherine Krzanowski who were both first-generation college students. They met studying anthropology at the University of San Francisco. After they graduated they began to coauthor together several books based on the San Francisco natives and their experiences. These two individuals founded several non-profit organizations within the Bay area focusing on providing educational opportunities for under-represented youth. Later in life, the two of them decided that their work needed to be continued and began to fundraise to open a liberal arts college. The land was donated by Ms. Regina La’Fonte, a longtime friend of the Krzanowski family. It was named Julia-Frances College in honor of Stanley and Catherine’s mothers who worked hard to make their college experience possible.

Julia Frances College became a university in 1965 and has become a home for thousands of students, faculty, and staff. Based on the founding principles of the university it been recognized for its commitment to social justice initiatives globally.

Today, tomorrow, and the next day -- Julia-Frances University will continue to provide a well-rounded and holistic approach to educating the future leaders of our society.

The Importance of Diversity at JFU#4 JFU Learning Outcome:Global Perspectives: Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice

The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Center for Diversity has developed a series of workshops addressing diversity, social justice, inclusion, power, privilege, and the intersections of identity. These workshop series are offered through the Leadership Certificate sponsored by Student Activities and Leadership, the Certificate in Diversity program sponsored by OMA, part of the First-Year Success Series, and are available as one of the options to fulfill one of the diversity requirements within the core curriculum. These workshops were designed using a Privilege Identity Exploration (PIE) Model. 15

Work)ops:

In order to fully integrate diversity into the JFU curriculum, Academic Affairs has collaborated with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Center for Diversity to provide a faculty member whose primary responsibility is to conduct research and to serve as a resource for faculty and staff who are developing their course syllabi. This role will assist faculty with ideas and resources for incorporating diversity into their curriculum. The staff person will also review syllabi, offer feedback, and facilitate professional development workshops for faculty and staff. Electives in diversity education and identity development are also available for students.

Classroom Expe*ence:

Programs: The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Center for Diversity host a variety of programs that explore all aspects of diversity. These events are open to the entire campus community.

Commi%ees: The Division of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs has created a campus-wide committee to examine policies and procedures, hear student concerns, and monitor the campus diversity climate. Students are encouraged to attend these open-forum meetings.

Residence Halls:

The Division of Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, and the Office of Housing and Residence Life have collaborated to create a living and learning community focusing on diversity. The community represents multiple aspects of diversity and intersections of identities. Students who belong to this learning community will also be enrolled in the course, “Diversity in the United States: Examining how Power and Privilege is Woven into Our Society”.

Diversity Programming also occurs within each residence hall either by a Resident Assistant or University staff member.

O*entation: New Student Orientation and New Faculty and Staff Orientation are examples of when diversity training or seminars are conducted. For faculty and staff a three hour training will occur. For new students, there is a seminar and activity related to diversity on JFU’s campus.

Conferences: The Division of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs host an annual two-day Diversity Summit. The summit has several tracks which are sponsored by several student organizations and university departments. Each office or organization is responsible for providing a specialized track in a topic related to diversity. For example, our Black Student Union and Student Support Services sponsors a track on black identity. It is like several mini conferences within a larger conference.

The Importance of Diversity at JFU#4 JFU Learning Outcome:Global Perspectives: Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice

Social Justice is an essential component of diversity education at JFU. Our goal is for students to

understand issues related diversity and multiculturalism and move towards being more

socially just.

Social Justice Development: Being an Ally (Relational)

Advocate (Vocal)Agent (Action-Oriented) 16

“Culturally responsive teachers are those who have a socio-cultural consciousness,

have affirming view of the students from diverse

backgrounds, have a sense that they are both responsible for and capable of bringing about educational change that will

make schooling more responsive to students from

diverse backgrounds, embrace constructivist views of

teaching and learning, (active learning process), are familiar

with their students’ prior knowledge and beliefs, and

design instruction that builds on what students already

know while stretching them beyond the familiar.” 17

“Increased diversity among students could improve intergroup relations beyond the classroom.” 19

“Residence halls provide a potentially powerful environment for encouraging openness to diversity because of extended opportunities for students to interact with peers and staff to implement programs that expose students to multicultural issues” 20

“Taking a diversity course in the first two years of college is also associated with the likelihood of voting in a federal or state election, while participation in diversity extracurricular activities is associated with voting in a student election and increases in leadership skills” 18

“Studies of organizational learning also suggest that leaders such as college presidents, deans, and vice presidents for student affairs, are helpful in facilitating campus-wide organizational learning.” 21

“It is the responsibility of colleges and universities to educate citizens and our next generation of leaders who will become the “architects of new solutions to our lingering social problems”. Therefore, it is an impetus for linking diversity with central education and civic goals.” 18

Division of Student Affairs at JFU

“ Anything we can do to help these students compete and become a part of a complete learning experience is a win for all of us who believe in the power of education to transform lives and build a better society.” 22

-Juan Gonzál,Vice President for Student Affairs

Mission of Student Affairs

“Being a student leader on campus introduced me to students outside of my residence hall floor and taught me to value working with others, understanding differences, and recognizing ways in which I can be an effective member of a team.”

My freshman year I joined Students for an Equal ------------------- Society, a club on campus. My sophomore year I ------------------- treasurer, the following year I became President. I ------------------- was able to watch our organization grow from 5 to ------------------- 60 participants and one of the most active groups on campus.”

Service Learning

“Service-Learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development. Reflection and reciprocity are key concepts of service learning.” 24

“Students who do service learning from fields that do not lead to a career in human services such as engineering provide a valuable service because it attunes them to the needs of their community and many of them even though they will not go into the field professionally will serve on community boards and may even run for public office.” 26

“Students who participate in service learning have the following outcomes:

1. a reduction of negative stereotypes and an increase in tolerance for diversity;

2. greater self knowledge,3. greater spiritual growth,4. finding reward in helping others,5. increased personal efficacy,6. increased desire to include service to others in ones career plan,7. increased ability to work with others,8. increased leadership skills,9. increased feeling of being connected to a community as an increased

connection to the college experience through closer ties to students and faculty.” 26

It’s about recognizing privilege.

In a recent study, nearly all participants who participated in service-learning “initially felt guilty about their economic privilege, but their guilt was eventually transformed into a sense of responsibility as they came to understand that they could use their privilege to help others.” 25

“Working collaboratively includes learning many skills, such as moving a group towards a goal, managing disagreements without being destructive, generating ideas to move beyond obstacles in a project, and being accountable.” 12

First-Year Seminar

Overview:This course is designed to introduce students to the college experience, college learning, the curricular and co-curricular experience, transition from high school to college, study skills, and explores inquiry based learning. Each course will have a different theme but all sections will have the same learning objectives.

Course subject:The instructor will teach about a subject matter not typically taught within the JFU curriculum. The course is designed to introduce the student to formulating questions, developing research strategies, and how to reach a conclusion. Course themes may include: “Modern Literature: Examining Harry Potter”, “Understanding Religious Texts”, “Balancing Nutrition in College”, “Parenting and Child Development Around the World”, “Using Film to Better Understand Ourselves and Others”

Retention Team:The class will be team taught by 1 faculty member, 1 student affairs professional, and an undergraduate peer mentor. The team approach will create a classroom environment where all perspectives are represented; the academics; the support; and the student experience. Advice can be given from all three perspectives to give a well rounded and holistic experience.

The team approach will also connect the student to university resources and expand the relationships built within the classroom. This model will work towards ensuring each student is being retained at JFU.

Course Details:Assignments will be developed by the retention team and graded accordingly. Bi-weekly journals will be a common denominator throughout all sections. This will allow the mentor to understand in great detail how each student is performing and adjusting. Also, each student will be required to meet with a member of the retention team for a one-on-one meeting mid-semester.

Socials:Three times a semester the Peer Mentors from each section will host a joint gathering activity for all students. This will also serve as an opportunity for students to create and maintain new relationships.
