Story on Page 5

More children are going to sleep hungry as the number of people living in extreme poverty in the Caribbean and Latin America rises due to the coronavirus pandemic. Food For The Poor continues to respond to urgent requests for food. The charity will bring supporters together for a one-night National Celebration — We Are One, a virtual event that will raise funds to provide more food to families devastated by the pandemic. The event will be livestreamed from 7 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13, from Boca Raton Community Church, in Boca Raton, Fla.

Florida Atlantic University’s Adams Center for Entrepreneurship, in the College of Business, has been awarded a partnership with the Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program (VFEP) for the sixth consecutive year. The Adams Center will receive funding from VFEP, which offers qualified veterans the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive entrepreneurship/business education and mentorship program through the center. “Being involved with the program since its inception in 2015, I’ve witnessed firsthand how it has evolved and expanded every year, and how it genuinely helps veterans start or grow successful businesses,” said Kevin Cox, Ph.D., assistant director of the Adams Center and the lead instructor for the program. “I look forward to another successful year.” Additionally, for the first time, FAU’s entry in the Veterans Florida statewide virtual pitch competition won first place. FAU alumnus Steven Edwards founded Premier Virtual, a company that created a software platform designed to facilitate hiring. He secured $3,000 through his win.

COMMUNITY Lynn University Believes Adjustments Made Will Make for Smooth Reopening

By: Trey Avant In March, educational institutions from small elementary schools to large universities had to transition from in-person instruction to fully online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been six months since the pandemic changed the way American students received their scholastic instruction and now most schools are ready to reopen for the traditional inperson educational experience. Lynn University is one of those schools. The school, famous for its unique approach to teaching, is set to resume on-campus classes Aug. 24 with a renewed focus on improving the health and wellbeing of its students and faculty while offering increased flexibility and safety for everyone. As with almost every other public area in Florida, state and local guidelines require that masks and social distancing be enforced while on-campus. A hallmark of Lynn’s approach to education is their small class sizes. To maximize the safety of others Lynn is adopting a form of block scheduling. In a statement provided by Lynn’s senior public relations manager, Jamie D’Aria: “The semester will be scheduled as four separate, four-week undergraduate terms during which students take up to two courses… With fewer courses at a time, block scheduling will limit the number of people that students and faculty come in contact with during each session. It also allows the university to quickly switch to remote learning if necessary.” Students also have the option

to opt-out of on-campus courses and take their classes remotely. The school’s health center is providing free COVID-19 screening to students and faculty who may have been exposed to the virus and according to the school’s website, “Lynn partnered with CVS Health to provide on-site rapid result COVID-19 testing services.” Dorm life will be different as “there will be no more than two people assigned per bedroom,” according to the university’s website. Reducing the number of people assigned to a bedroom has eliminated the option for a three-person bedroom. Visitors will also be disallowed. Most upperclassmen will be assigned to a nearby hotel with shuttle service that will take them to and from campus. As more space becomes available upperclassmen will slowly be moved back to campus if they wish. Isolation rooms will also be provided to residents who test positive for coronavirus but due to limited availability residents who test positive for the virus should prepare themselves to make their own off-campus living arrangements. Athletics has probably suffered the biggest changes as the Sunshine State Conference (SSC), which is the athletic conference that Lynn participates in, has decided to cancel its Fall 2020 athletic season. This semester looks to be a memorable one for Lynn University filled with unique challenges. Palm Beach County is, as of Aug. 11, currently at 36,944 total cases of coronavirus.

Parkland Teen Develops A Tech Connect Drive To Donate iPads For Patients In Need

By: Destiny Harris Rising senior at North Broward Preparatory, Ryan Burns drives door to door in the Parkland area collecting iPads to donate to patients in need. Ryan was inspired to start the donations after his 75-year-old grandmother spent a week alone in a hospital in Queens, New York with no visitation permitted amid the COVID-19 pandemic. When Ryan’s grandmother finally received an iPad from his father, William, the CFO of Cross Country Healthcare he could see that it was a positive distraction for her. Unfortunately, every patient does not have the capabilities to access technology the way Ryan’s family did. Last month, Ryan decided to spend his free time creating Tech Connect Drive, an organization dedicated to collecting used iPads and tablets from neighbors, friends, and local residents to donate to hospital patients who lacked those resources. Before becoming the Founder/ President of the Tech Connect Drive, Ryan found other ways to serve his community. Ryan has volunteered with SOS Children’s Villages, HOPE South Florida, and promoted Light The Night. Ryan’s father is the Corporate Walk Chairman for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night, a walk to build awareness of blood cancers as well as raise money for research and support of patients and their families.

“Sending my grandmother an iPad actually relieved her stress about being in the hospital. Another time when my father got diagnosed with leukemia, having the iPad changed his mindset and was another positive distraction for him” said Ryan. Currently, Ryan has collected 22 iPads and fully reconfigured five of them. Ryan has been putting up flyers at local businesses and promoting the drive to receive more donations for patients at Colonial Assisted Living at Fort Lauderdale, West Boca Medical Center, and Broward Health Coral Springs. Ryan’s donations primarily focus on hospitals but he hopes to donate the iPads to nursing homes and rehab centers in the future. Ryan urges residents are interested to get involved in donating any way they can and would love to send donations all over South Florida. “If they might not have an iPad but know of a facility in need of it, they can contact me,” said Ryan. Ryan is taking steps to make the Tech Connect Drive a non-profit organization and he said he would like to continue donations even after the pandemic. Ryan driving to homes for contactless pick-up of anyone donating a device. Students willing to help with the drive will be able to get community service hours as well. To learn more about donating a device or receive more information, text “donation” to 954-870-3224. August 21 - August 27, 2020

PBSC Dental Hygiene grads take first manikin exam for state licensure Palm Beach State College’s graduating Dental Hygiene students were set to take their state licensure exams this spring when COVID-19 prevented them from performing the one exam that requires treating a live patient. Otherwise ready to start their careers, no license meant no job. But with perseverance and an emergency order from the Florida Department of Health, the students took the clinical exam on Aug. 5—using a computerized manikin to simulate a patient. Indeed, COVID-19 brought about the first use of manikins in dental hygiene licensure exams in Florida and across the nation. When the pandemic interrupted dental hygiene classes in March, graduating classes began letterwriting campaigns to their state dentistry boards and governor’s offices asking to either waive regulatory statutes requiring a live exam or allow use of a manikin. On May 28, based on the COVID-19 state of emergency declared by Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees, M.D., issued an executive order to allow manikins for this purpose until Sept. 1, 2020. With unintended foresight, the test administrator—the Commission on Dental Competency Assessments—had been working with Acadental, a dental education products manufacturer, on a manikin-based option for use in the Patient Clinical Treatment Exam, and in response to the COVID-19 crisis, they accelerated their efforts dramatically. Now of the 44 states that use the tests administered by CDCA, 24 have chosen to use the manikins. Palm Beach State College is one of only five CDCA testing sites in Florida, out of 18 dental hygiene schools, and one of the first in the state to use the manikin exam. In the exam, each student is given a unique set of teeth that snaps into the manikin head. Each set is programmed to evaluate students on their clinical and judgment skills. Every movement is digitally captured, as the students detect and remove simulated dental calculus (tartar), measure periodontal pocket depth and assess tissue, among a range of components in the two-hour

test. The approval for this alternative exam enables students to move ahead with their careers, but also addresses an urgent public need. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, more than 59 million people in the U.S. live in 6,296 areas with a shortage of dental health professionals, including 257 shortage areas in Florida. And COVID-19 promises to exacerbate the problem. Judy McCauley, RDH, chair of PBSC’s Dental Hygiene program, confirms an even greater demand for her graduates due to COVID-19. “Experienced or older hygienists don’t want to go back—they don’t want to take the risk— and then you have the younger ones that have children who can’t go back because of the schooling situation, so there are a lot of job opportunities right now, and in that respect, our students are very fortunate.” The Dental Hygiene program opened again on July 13 to allow students to restart their hands-on studies in the College’s Dental Hygiene Care Center, based on the Lake Worth campus. There are normally 24 chairs, but now only 12 are used in order to adhere to social distancing guidelines. This teaching facility has also started seeing patients from the community again, not only in accordance with CDC, OSHA and American Dental Hygienists’ Association guidelines, but also with strict rules of their own. Currently, out of an abundance of caution, they do only the basics and are avoiding higher risk procedures, such as those that use aerosols. Also, in addition to daily health screenings of the students, faculty and patients, they are only treating healthy adults with no underlying medical conditions. “We are being very conservative in who we treat at this time, exceeding CDC guidelines.” McCauley said. “Yet even though this is a rather high-risk health profession, the same as dentistry, medical and nursing, we still had 140 completed applicants for the 24 spots in our incoming class. It is a profession that has a lot to offer, and students want to pursue it.”

FAU Grad Earns Fourth Degree, Hopes to Mentor Immigrants

When Shernette Dunn emigrated from Jamaica to the United States as a 16 year old, she had one goal in mind – “achieve the American dream.” Dunn, 38, will be one step closer to her dream and will receive her Ph.D. in adult and community education from FAU’s College of Education, something she accomplished in only three years. This will be Dunn’s fourth degree from FAU. She earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, K-12; a master’s degree in reading education, K-12; and an education specialist degree in school leadership. Currently the director for reading strategies and first year success at the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs, CO, Dunn traveled back and forth from Florida to Colorado for classes while working full time, all while supporting her son, Jayden, 8, as a single mother. At one point she went back and forth for 17 weeks straight, often times taking work calls and completing her schoolwork in airports. “I want my son to know he can be anything he wants to be as long as he has the drive and ambition to do so,” said Dunn. In what little free time Dunn

has, she volunteers to feed the homeless at local shelters. Last year, Dunn received a prestigious, national award from the USAF Academy Preparatory School for her outstanding leadership with the Academy’s 2023 incoming class. Dunn was instrumental in the development of college success and faculty orientation courses, which allowed faculty and advisors to better assist students to adapt to a stressful military environment. Prior to her role at the Academy, Dunn worked for Broward County Public Schools for more than 13 years as an elementary school teacher. “She is a remarkable woman,” said Valerie Bryan, Ph.D., professor in FAU’s College of Education. “Her strength, stamina and perseverance against all odds, make her a dynamite individual.” Following graduation, Dunn hopes to work at a university in student affairs so she can support and mentor students. Ultimately, she would like to open a tutoring center and provide educational opportunities for immigrants all across the South Florida area. “Students don’t always have motivation or a support system at home and I want to be that person for them,” said Dunn.

Food For The Poor National Event Raises Funds to Feed Families More children are going to sleep hungry as the number of people living in extreme poverty in the Caribbean and Latin America rises due to the coronavirus pandemic. Food For The Poor continues to respond to urgent requests for food. The charity will bring supporters together for a one-night National Celebration — We Are One, a virtual event that will raise funds to provide more food to families devastated by the pandemic. The event will be livestreamed from 7 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13, from Boca Raton Community Church, in Boca Raton, Fla. Countries in the Caribbean and Latin America are not only facing increasing cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, but lasting economic damage and fears of a food crisis. “We knew early on that the problems were going to be terrible in the countries we serve,” said Food For The Poor President/CEO Ed Raine. “If you add the challenges of unemployment and all the people desperately seeking food, the scale of the problem is enormous. This has only underscored our efforts to do even more, all made possible because of our generous donors.” Ninetime Grammy nominee Matt Maher will perform two songs for the event and share his heart for families in need. Earlier this summer, Maher’s current single Alive & Breathing was climbing Rolling Stone’s Trending 25 list and was the third fastest rising song within all music genres. In addition to entertainment by Maher, the program will include testimonials from donors, videos from the countries and details on the charity’s pandemic response. With needs growing in the countries served by the charity, Pastor Bill Mitchell, of Boca Raton Community Church, said the virtual event is an opportunity to follow Jesus’ teachings to feed the poor. The church offered its space and technical support to livestream the event. “We are blessed to be able to give back in this way to families who are suffering,” said Mitchell, who will give the opening prayer at the virtual event. “Food For The Poor turns the face of the American church to the Caribbean and Latin America. Our church resonates with that mission.” Since mid-March, Food For The Poor has shipped 709 tractor-trailer loads of aid to the countries it serves. That includes 200 containers specifically for COVID-19 relief, including food, personal hygiene items, medical supplies, medicine, personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies, and 120 containers of rice from the Republic of China (Taiwan). The charity also has purchased and shipped 80 containers of food and

www.bocaratontribune.com

relief items, with another 19 containers waiting to be shipped, as well as purchased food directly from local businesses in the countries. In Colombia, Venezuelan migrants who had fled their home country’s economic collapse for promise of a better life are now struggling to return. Bridges on the border cities of Cucuta and Arauca have been closed, leaving migrants stranded on the streets. “Because of the coronavirus there’s no more work. I must go back to Venezuela because the food is already running out and I don’t have enough money for rent,” said Maria, a migrant who left Venezuela for Colombia to give her son a better future. “I decided to sell everything I had and go back home with my son.” Without an income, these vulnerable families cannot purchase basic food and health essentials. Red cloths hang in the windows of families who don’t have anything to eat. “The pandemic has become very complex here in Colombia,” said Constanza Ovalle Rozo, Director of Integral Development Centers at Minuto de Dios, one of the charity’s partners in Colombia. “Food For The Poor’s generosity and assistance to help the situation here in Colombia to the Venezuelan migrants has been wonderful.” In Haiti, Bishop Oge Beauvoir, Executive Director of Food For The PoorHaiti, said he has never received so many requests for food in his five years with the charity. “Everybody is coming to us for food,” Beauvoir said. “The churches are on the frontline. Priests keep calling asking for more food. A priest from Bell Fountaine said, ‘Bishop, my people are dying.’ People have only one location to go, the churches. In the cities, if people are hungry they go to the churches.” Paulette Cadet, in Haiti, is grateful for food supplied by the charity’s generous donors. “I want to thank Food For The Poor because you sent us food to eat,” she said “I couldn’t feed the kids. I can’t work because of the coronavirus, which has really affected our country. I pray to God that you can always continue this ministry to help feed people.” The event’s silent auction will open at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10 and close on the day of the event, Aug 13. To register for the event, receive notifications and a link to participate when the auction opens, go to www.FoodForThePoor.org/one. Event sponsors include Salem Media Group, Boca Raton Community Church, Hormel Foods, The Calmark Group, Florida Aquastore and Sandals Foundation.

Voting Must be a Priority On Tuesday, voters across Palm Beach County will join other Americans in using the most powerful tool we have to evoke change at the polls. And while we have been focused on the inpact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the past six months, I urge voters to also become fully engaged in the upcoming primary election. As we mourn the recent passing of two towering titans in the civil rights movement - U.S. Rep. John Lewis and the Rev. Cordy Tindell “C.T.” Vivian - I was inspired and moved as I reflected on their sacrifices, accomplishments and intellect. In his 2017 book, “Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America,” Lewis wrote that “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have” to make change in a democratic society. That explains why the powerful, through time, have tried so hard to

limit its access. Lewis, who died July 17 from stage 4 pancreatic cancer, spent his life working to improve American democracy. At 80, he was the last surviving member of the “Big Six”, the group that included the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and organized the historic civil rights March on Washington in 1963. Rev. Vivian, 95, died from natural causes. Their passing, just hours apart, dealt a major loss for a nation still grappling with protests and demands for racial equality decades later. The pair, like Dr. King and other civil rights activists, had marched together, addressed friendly and hostile audiences together, faced violence together, were arrested, thrown behind bars and beaten. In the face of violent opposition, they led sit-ins, boycotts, marches and Freedom Rides against segregation in the South. At the height of the push for justice, their beatings at the protests galvanized support that led

to key changes so we all can have the right to vote on Tuesday. During a recent discussion with a group of young people, many of them told me they did not plan to vote, primarily because they did not think their votes would make a difference. They cited quite a few horrific events involving the death of blacks, including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks. I look at those incidents as a reason to vote, but in their minds, it is a sign that nothing works – that there would absolutely be no redress. While I understood their concerns, I shared with them that politics can feel disingenuous. I can relate to them feeling unwanted or undervalued by their local, state and federal governments at times. It always tickles me as the election season approaches, politicians – many whom went unseen or unheard of during their tenure – would “come out of hiding” to announce their intent to seek another term in office.

As I shared with these young minds, it is easy to feel disenfranchised by the political system, but it does not mean that it is completely broken. In spite of how you feel, it is critical for you to use your right to vote as a person of color, a woman, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or as a United States citizen for the candidate you feel will best respect and fight for you. The post-pandemic community will need strong leadership. One way to ensure we have the right people in office is to vote on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Organizations such as “When We all Vote Palm Beach County Voting Squad” has been doing an outstanding job informing voters of the issues through a series of candidate forums. Regardless of your political affiliation - Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or independent - Tuesday is the day to make your voice heard and vote.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

Love in the office that cannot be discouraged When you hear the term, “love in the office,” what comes to mind? A romantic relationship between coworkers or colleagues, perhaps? Some workplaces forbid such “fraternization,” while others merely discourage it or insist such relationships be kept discreet. But what about a kind of love in the office that cannot nor should not be discouraged, with no cause for discretion? What I am referring to is the kind of love we often see described in the Bible. For instance, Jesus on numerous occasions told His followers to, “Love your neighbor as yourself ” (Matthew 22:39). This was preceded by what He called the “greatest commandment” – to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). Well, that sounds nice and fits well

August 21 - August 27, 2020

for religious or spiritual settings. But what about the everyday, dog-eat-dog, highly competitive business and professional world? As one song put it, “what’s love got to do with it?” Actually, when we look closer, we see that love can – and should – have a lot to do with how we conduct ourselves and relate to others in the marketplace. Looking back at what Jesus said about loving God and loving our neighbors as ourselves, this does not refer to the emotional, warm, fuzzy feelings we get when we are around people we care about. This is about revering and honoring God in all we do, and in the process, demonstrating sincere interest and care for others – including colleagues, coworkers, bosses, customers and suppliers. Think about perhaps the greatest single statement about love in the Scriptures: “For God so loved the world that he

gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal lif e” (John 3:16). This definitely was not a hugs-and-kisses kind of love. It was an expression of divine love – and sacrifice – that the human mind cannot fully comprehend. Yet every day of our lives, we can benefit from this. There is no way humanly speaking we can replicate this unfathomable form of love, but at the same time, as followers of Jesus we are called to demonstrate sincere, even sacrificial love to those around us, whether it be where we work, in our homes, or our communities. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). What this looks like in a real-life situation will differ from one person to the next, partly depending on the circum-

www.bocaratontribune.com

stances we find ourselves in. But here are a couple of examples: Living others by putting them first. Often in the business world, the mantra is, “Looking out for No. 1 – look out for yourself,” This is not the admonition we receive from the Scriptures. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better (more important) than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). Seeking to give rather than to receive. The natural tendency is to seek whatever we can get out of a situation, but the biblical command is to instead, seek how much we can give.. “…the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35).

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By Rick Boxx

Shining Like Stars in the Marketplace

By Robert Weinroth

Are You Counted? The US Census Needs Your Response With much of our daily activities overshadowed by the ever-present coronavirus pandemic, it is easy to understand how the more routine aspects of our lives have felt inconsequential. However, notwithstanding the disruptions we have faced, life does go on. Grappling with the likely longterm impacts of the pandemic will require a collaborative effort between government, business and each of us. Virtually lost in the swirl of the pandemic response has been the decennial US Census. Unless you live under a rock, you know every ten years we undertake an actual county of the number of people residing in the United States. The census is more than just a head count. It provides a snapshot in time (April 1st) of our country’s population and is a determinant of how legislative seats (federal, state and local) are apportioned. The self-response rate for Palm Beach County is currently less than 60 percent. In other words, with an estimated 1.5 million residents living in our county, 600,000 residents have yet to be counted. In the coming months, enumerators will be dispatched to find many of those who have failed to respond. It is clear the damage wrought by the pandemic will require a broad federal response to restore our economy and assist residents address the long-term impacts of the pandemic. The distribution of federal and state dollars will be directly tied to the census figures. An undercount will skew data used to determine how our state allocates representation in the legislature and local governmental bodies and will, likewise, impact how billions of dollars a year are allocated for schools, hospitals and other infrastructure projects. If you are one of the 600,000 residents yet to respond to the US Census, now is the time to be counted. - Respond online at: www.2020USCensus. gov.

- To respond by phone, call 800.330.2020. - To respond by mail, locate the census questionnaire sent to your home. (In midApril, the Census Bureau began mailing paper questionnaires to homes that had not responded online or by phone). Please, help shape our future – each of us counts! This month the state’s primary contests and nonpartisan elections for School Board and judges will be decided on August 18th. While over 500,000 Vote by Mail ballots were already sent (beginning last month) there is still time to request a Vote by Mail ballot to avoid to lines and potential health concerns of in-person voting. Ballots can be requested online at www. PBCElections.org. Here’s a little known fact – while you generally must be a registered Democrat or Republican to vote in the primary (except for the nonpartisan races which are open to any voter), where the candidates are all affiliated with the same party, it becomes an “open” primary and all registered voters can cast a ballot. This will be the case when voters select from the candidates running for PBC Supervisor of Elections since both are registered Democrats. Even if you are a “No Party Affiliated” voter, you can vote! This year, due in large part to the pandemic, many seasoned poll workers have declined to accept an assignment. Many precinct-polling locations have been relocated or merged due to health concerns by the hosting venues. Voting by Mail offers a safe, convenient way to cast your ballot. And, this year, postage to return your ballot is being paid by the county so there’s no need to locate enough stamps to ensure the proper postage is affixed to the return envelope. As with responding to the US Census, it is imperative for voters to cast their ballots to shape the future of our county. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay involved!

A question I often hear when speaking about faith in the workplace comes from people who are not CEOs, those who are not the top decision-making executives in their companies. Many of them can readily understand how a CEO can affect change within an organization, but those who are not CEOs doubt their own ability to bring about change where they work, especially in terms of faith and spiritually based values. This kind of thinking, while understandable, is unfortunate because it can undermine the potential for genuine, positive change. From my own experience, and in consulting with people in many kinds of businesses and organizations, I have discovered there are unlimited opportunities of all people to make a difference. A question that naturally arises from such a statement is, “How can we make that difference?” I think the best place to start is by considering two similar passages from the Scriptures, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. Both talk about people of faith “shining like stars” in their surroundings. In the prophetic book of Daniel, it tells about “a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.” But then it declares, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever” (Daniel 12:1-3). The other passage, the second chapter of Philippians, reminds us, “it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” Clearly, it states wherever we go and whatever we do – even in the workplace – God can use us to accomplish His plans. Then we are instructed, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked genera-

tion. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky” (Philippians 2:13-15). We live and work in turbulent times; at times things seem dark and disheartening. “Where is God in this?” we might wonder. It is at times like these, however, that we have the opportunity to do as the Scriptures say, to “shine like stars in the sky” to illuminate the oppressive darkness. Think of it this way: In a large, well-lit room, a lightbulb of low wattage or a candle seems to make very little difference in how bright the area appears. However, when the lights are turned off and all other sources of illumination have been eliminated, that small lightbulb or candle suddenly seems to shine brightly, drawing us to it. In a similar way, if we find ourselves working in spiritually dark environments, we can ask God to provide ways where we can “shine like stars” and make a difference far beyond anything we could imagine. Author C.S. Lewis wrote, “I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” That is a profound statement, and we should pray as ambassadors for Jesus Christ in the marketplace, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:20, that as others observe our lives and hear us tell about what we believe and why, that they also will be able to see Him. It is important to remember that God’s ways are unconventional. When we embrace His ways, and model them in the places where we work, our actions stand out to others. As the Lord works in us and through us, often in unexpected ways, they will see a difference. Over time, He will give us the opportunity to reveal Jesus Christ, “the light of the world” (John 9:5) to those around us. Heizer Media Group

“Seeing that other people saw in my organization what I saw, was a great feeling,” he said. Earlier in the year, veterans competed in a local business pitch competition. In addition to Edwards, winners of that competition were Max Burwick, whose company, BizPsych, developed a machine-learning tool, and Arthur Freemon, who started SOF Designs, a company that created a pillow for sleep apnea patients and the general public. Edwards, Burwick and Freemon each won $1,000 to support their ventures. FAU has been recognized as one of the top programs for entrepreneurship studies, according to the latest rankings from The Princeton Review/Entrepreneur Magazine. FAU ranked No. 39 among undergraduate programs in the 14th annual survey. Named in recognition of FAU alumnus Scott H. Adams in 2001, the Adams Center for Entrepreneurship prepares students and entrepreneurs in all disciplines who are looking to become successful business owners. Veterans Florida is a nonprofit created by the State of Florida to help military veterans transition to civilian life and to promote Florida’s status as the nation’s most veteran-friendly state. Veterans Florida provides powerful tools for veterans to take advantage of the benefits of living and working in the Sunshine State.

Palm Beach County to Offer course on Prejudice and Power By: Nadia Gordon Discrimination and racial relations are two important topics that are ongoing within the United States as well as the rest of the world. That is why the Palm Beach County School District is looking to add a new course to educate middle school students on these topics. According to the Palm Beach County School District the new course will be “Entitled Prejudice and Power: A Discourse on Race and Ethnicity in the United States, the course will give students the opportunity to engage in dialogue about topics such as structural racism and race as a social construct.” In a WPTV interview, Brian Knowles, the manager of the office of African, African American, Latino, Holocaust and Gender studies for the Palm Beach County School District said, “It is important for our young people to start to engage in these conversations.” (The class will) create student voice around difficult conversations pertaining to race,” Knowles explained. The course is meant to act as a safe space for young students and “Teachers will act as facilitators, delivering content and concepts through individual and small group work, wherein students can comfortably share their efforts, personal experiences, and thoughts,” notes the Palm Beach

County School District. “Through education, we have the opportunity to create a just society by educating our youth about the role that they have in dismantling structures founded on racism, prejudice, and discrimination,” said Knowles. The course has been in the works for over a year and has yet to be approved by the Florida Department of Education. However, Knowles said recent current events surrounding George Floyd’s death and the protests that followed called for faster implementation. Additionally, the reaction to the new course has been good, but there are some who don’t agree according to the Palm Beach County School District. “Maybe not everybody is excited about these spaces, but I think that only proves how incredibly important it is to provide those spaces,” said Diana Fedderman, the assistant superintendent for teaching and learning in Palm Beach County. With the recent death of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter protests, and other acts of discrimination within the country it is important to educate our youth on these issues and give them an opportunity to voice their experiences. “If there is anything a post Parkland has really taught adults is that our students are ready. Our students are ready and capable, and they want to engage in civil discourse,” said Fredderman.

PBA Establishes Dr. Terriel Byrd Scholarship Fund

Palm Beach Atlantic has established a scholarship for students of color. The scholarship is named in honor of beloved faculty member Dr. Terriel Byrd, professor of urban Christian ministry. Byrd is also coordinator of the evening ministry program. His scholarly work focuses on the theme of Christian unity. His writings examine racial separation in worship and interpret the voice and message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for modern audiences. In 2007, the University honored Byrd with the Charles and Hazel Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching. Images of violence against people of color have motivated many Christians to action. While meaningful dialogue has fostered understanding of existing inequality, Christians are com-

pelled to do more to support those lacking access to the economic advantages that a private, faith-based college education can provide. Your gift to The Dr. Terriel Byrd Scholarship underwrites a transformative PBA education for students of color. The renewable, four-year scholarship applies to tuition and room and board, providing students with opportunities to immerse themselves in their studies without financial hardship. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to build the scholarship fund. The scholarship expands student access to Palm Beach Atlantic, equipping graduates to be resilient servant leaders. Alumni are fearless in faith and adventurers who positively change the world.
