As a college, with enrollment growing 23% since 2011 and currently more than 900 graduate and undergraduate students, the Davis College of Business (DCOB) has created an award to recognize our students for their performance. We have selected 40 students who have excelled in the classroom while continuously developing their leadership skills.
After three years of promoting the Top Talent of the Davis College of Business, I feel like uncovering the process in which the list is selected. First, Advantage Business Magazine opened the online application portal in September. After more than 100 students applied, the next step was to narrow the list to 40. This was done by a selection committee made up of Advantage staff and members of the Executive Advisory Board (of DCOB).
All students who applied were invited to have their photos taken by a professional photographer and to attend workshops on how to tune your digital footprint to attract employers or to manage your online reputation (for our currently employed students).
Thanks to our partners at Northwestern Mutual, a behavioral assessment tool was offered to help students better understand their own strengths, decision-making characteristics and areas of improvement.
Lastly, a professional meet-and-greet is scheduled for students and members of the business community alike. It’s our goal to foster long-lasting relationships that will be firmly rooted in Jacksonville.
These students will undoubtedly be the leaders of tomorrow, even perhaps in your organization. Some will continue their current career path and others are looking for employers where they can make a maximum impact.
JU Davis means business. We are committed to providing opportunities for experienced professionals to grow into polished individuals whose skills are verified by their degree, as well as to helping those with untapped potential, establishing the foundation for jumpstarting a career within the business world. Between networking with C-level executive alumni and career-changing internship and job opportunities, our business students are provided with ample opportunities to strengthen and enhance their professional lives.
The Top 40 Talent from this year and years prior are prime examples of this philosophy. I encourage you to introduce yourself, serve as a mentor, and challenge these rising stars to see what some of the smartest new graduates in North Florida can do for you. If your organization needs talent, I urge you to take a look at our students. I know you will like what you see.

A member of the university’s women’s soccer team for four years, she suffered a severe concussion during the second game of her sophomore season and has now had four concussions over the past two years. Dealing with the symptoms from her concussions has been the greatest challenge of her life. Constant headaches make it difficult to read, write, attend class, complete assignments and take tests. Because of this, she has had to use great time management skills to ensure that she gets all of her work done while still dealing with her cognitive setbacks. Doctors urged her to take a semester off. Instead, she worked through adversity and managed to make Dean’s List every semester since her initial concussion, while simultaneously working as an intern in the soccer operations department for the Jacksonville Armada Professional Football Club.
Maycee Dioneda
MBA – Accounting & Finance
linkedin.com/in/mayceedioneda
A quote by Anita Roddick states, “To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.” This quote constantly reminds Dioneda to never lose sight of the prize. One of the most defining instances was the day she made the difficult decision to drop her lifelong desire of becoming a nurse. After 11 years of dreaming about it and two years of experiencing it, she realized it was not her ideal career. It was not until about a month later when she found her niche in accounting. Her second most defining instance came when she gave up seven years of cross country & track to join the rowing team. However, it was not until she became a coxswain that she explored how to use criticism to better herself, motivate others, and always be prepared to make last minute decisions. She has witnessed that a race, much like life, will almost never go according to plan. But she has also learned that it is not about constantly playing the sympathy card when things do not go well but instead learning to successfully play the cards that she is dealt.

All of this was done without having a source of income, or his wife having any job prospects or friends. In short order and with a lot of perseverance, he completed his undergraduate degree (Magna Cum Laude) and began work as a flight instructor at Comair Aviation Academy and adjunct professor at Jacksonville University. He began his airline career soon after and is now a Captain of an Airbus A320 at JetBlue Airways.
