In late February, the University of North Florida Board of Trustees found the school’s next president in Ohio business school Dean David Szymanski. Szymanski comes to UNF after leading the Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati. He describes himself as a “classic academic” and has spent most of his career focusing on research, teaching and student development. “Teaching is a passion,” he said, although he won’t be handing out class assignments. Instead, Szymanski will use his other title, professor at UNF’s Coggin College of Business, to drop in occasionally as a guest lecturer. Szymanski, 60, holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in economics, an MBA with a marketing emphasis and a Ph.D. in marketing, with a minor in economics and analytics. His academic career began in 1981 at Vanderbilt University and spans nearly four decades at campuses in Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin and now Florida. He published research on marketing strategy, applied metaanalysis, and sales management SEE SZYMANSKI, PAGE 3

Special to the Daily Record
University of North Florida President David Szymanski replaces John Delaney, who retired at the end of May. Szymanski comes from the University of Cincinnati.
Lucky’s Market expects to employ about 150 people early next year when it opens in OakLeaf Station in southwest Jacksonville. It will be the company’s second area store after its December 2016 opening in Neptune Beach. “We tend to look for and find vibrant, thriving towns where people love good food and then we open stores there,” said spokeswoman Krista Torvik by email. Torvik said Lucky’s is rapidly expanding in Florida. It has up to 20 leases signed for stores spanning from Montana to Florida, with the bulk in the Sunshine State. Lucky’s operates 29 stores and anticipates that count growing to more than 40 by year-end. She said the OakLeaf Station store, which will be near Orange Park, will open in the first quarter of next year. The city is reviewing a permit application for Lucky’s Market Operating Co. LLC of Colorado SEE MATHIS, PAGE 3
