Welcome to Jacksonville University! The purpose of this guide is to provide you with community resources that are in the Jacksonville area from grocery stores to places of worship to nonprofit organizations that can support your journey at JU. Our institution is stronger because of the diversity of our students, faculty, staff and alumni. This rich tradition is at the core of this institution’s growth and development. A mosaic, by definition, is a piece of art produced by arranged together small colored pieces of stone, glass or tile to create something beautiful which is reflective of our campus community. The Mosaic, a diversity and inclusion resource guide, is a living document. If there is a place or organization that you’d like to see included, please contact the Student Inclusion Center. Explore Jacksonville and all it has to offer. We look forward to meeting you!
