Webber chose UNF because she saw the anticipated growth of the University and wanted to be a part of it. As an undergrad, she got involved with Student Government, PRSSA and Osprey Productions, where she found her niche. After volunteering to get some event planning experience, she became a program assistant, which lead to assistant director and finally director of Homecoming.
While alumni engagement, athletics, student government and Osprey Productions used to work independently, she helped bridge them together and unify the Homecoming festivities. She coordinated all the activities and worked on everything from booking the comedy show acts to advertising across campus and the local community. For those of you who remember John Mulaney and Steve Aoki performing at the Nest, you know who to thank. Learn more.

Nothing says Homecoming like some home cooking, and we're thankful
Ivory Orr (’03) was able to bring his food truck back to the Nest for the Black Alumni Association tailgate.
Bad Chic Chicken & Waffles
launched in 2022. Orr and his daughter, Maliyah, are noted foodies, so they base their menu off items they enjoy. Items like the Cinnabun waffle have been a hit, along with new items like the Fruity Pebble and Cinnamon Toast Crunch waffles. Learn more.
