When you’re the president of the university, everybody wants you to come to their event and he came to ours. So I feel really excited that he is here and it might be one of the first times you’re even in the hip. Is this correct? Is this your first time in the hip? So you’re officially hip? Oh what a horrible pun. Forgive me, I’m sorry, no more. No more of that. Without further ado, please welcome the new president of the University of Florida Ken Fox. Thank you, Liz. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Liz. Thank you, Liz. Thank you, Liz. It is indeed my very first second in the hip, but I’m certainly not hip, sorry. I was pleased to hear that you all spent the evening chasing clues on the scavenger hunt with those clues designed by UF alumnus Tom Shorter from the Washington Post. And I’ve always known that you could find wisdom in a periodic table, but only a journalist would put it on the tip of a popsicle stick. We are so pleased to have and to host this event. We’re thrilled to not only have Tom here, but so many luminaries from media, from the arts, from academia, from nonprofits with us here in Gainesville. And you all are fortunate to be a part of this event. I have to go do important things like speak to the faculty senate. I’d rather be here. And I’m really jealous. I’d love to listen to your stellar speakers. I personally, sincerely feel a personal affinity for the subject of this event, of the Frank. Public interest communications is not communications about change, but communication to change, as our professor Ann Cristiano says. Ann explains her phrase with a little known story on Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott. She’ll be telling you that story, so I’m not going to ruin what she’s going to tell you, but I’ll just say that it centers on a woman named Joanne Robinson and her behind the scenes communication and her work to ensure that black citizens did not border Montgomery’s buses during the boycott. History is full of Joanne Robinson’s. Women and men whose communications genius provide success to the good and noble causes that they’re involved in and that they care about. And what’s so inspiring about Frank is that it brings a rare focus not only to those individuals, but to the science and the practice of public interest communications itself. Universities have academic disciplines in many areas, including journalism, media communications. What Frank does is that it foreshadows the emergence of the crucial disciplines surrounding public interest communication. At the University of Florida, we inspire our students and our community to service by talking about the Gator Good. I’m proud that this vision of communications for public good is emerging here and even prouder that we’re sharing it with the world through Frank. The public service that begins at a university should extend through lifetimes and the world and Frank takes us there. To all of you who have taken time to be here and to those that are speaking and participating, I applaud you for doing that. I’m very grateful for that and for what you’re in the ways that you’re making a difference. I wish you all the very best as you work to communicate not only about changing the world, but to change the world. Expect that you’re going to do nothing else and that you’re going to achieve that. Thank you and warm welcome to all of you that are here from out of town. Thank you.
