Many businesses have fallen victim to the COVID-19 economy and as result been forced to close down. Consequently, Boca Raton’s popular music venue the Funky Biscuit will close, at least temporarily, at the end of the month, due to lost revenue attributed to the pandemic.

The Funk Biscuit which reopened for memorial day will end a nearly 10-year run as one of most frequented and and most beloved stages in South Florida for nationally touring and local musicians.

After 10.5 hours of deliberation from parents and school board members, the School District will start off the year with distance learning. The district has taken the spread of the virus into account as the average number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has increased significantly.

According to their agenda, when the school district initially closed in mid-March, there were less than 70 new cases per day.

• Palm Beach State College has been invited by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in its Second Chance Pell experiment, which will provide more education opportunities for incarcerated individuals in Palm Beach and Martin counties. The initiative, first created in 2015, provides need-based federal Pell grants for individuals in federal and state prisons to enroll in postsecondary programs offered at local colleges and universities or distance learning providers. PBSC is among a new cohort of 67 schools invited to participate this year.

• Officials in Palm Beach County are witnessing a massive spike in COVID-19 cases due to gatherings and parties happening after dark at local bars and food establishments. As a result, restaurants, and bars can expect to be closed starting today from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. in an effort to issue an order prohibiting the selling of alcoholic beverages and food.

• Florida Atlantic University recently announced the appointment of Kelly J. Shannon, associate professor of history and the Chastain-Johnston Middle Eastern Studies Distinguished Professor in Peace Studies, as the new director of FAU’s Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Initiative (PJHR).

PJHR’s mission is to work toward developing and sharing the best practices for promoting tolerance and understanding of diverse cultures. It offers a unique multidisciplinary framework operating across the University to invite engagement by all members of the community and external partners in research, scholarship, creative activities, and applied practices that realize a

• If you are deciding what type of mask to wear when going out, the N95, cloth mask may be the best choice to protect yourself from the spread of COVID-19. On July 10, WPTV and Florida Atlantic University’s biology department conducted an experiment to determine the effectiveness of three different popular face coverings against the COVID-19 virus.

• Florida Atlantic University Pine Jog Environmental Education Center took a new approach this year to honor winners of its 2020 Green Schools Awards. Foregoing a traditional ceremony, the center created a series of more than 30 award videos to showcase the exceptional efforts of local schools that are “going green” as participants in the center’s nationally recognized Green Schools Recognition Program (GSRP).

• The Early Learning Coalition is seeking assistance in helping child care centers serving emergency personnel, and essential workers obtain the necessary supplies they need to stay open safely. During this time of need, The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County has generously received a donation of $10,000 in highly coveted hand sanitizer from the Medical Group of South Florida.

• Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the appointment of Kerry-Ann McDonald, MD, to the medical staff of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute (LWHWI) and BocaCare® Physician Network. She specializes in benign and malignant breast disease.

The Student Counseling Center and the Palm Beach State College Chapter of the National Council on Black American Affairs are partnering to launch a mentoring program for first-time-in-college women of color.

The Sister to Sister project is being funded with a $4,200 mini grant the College received from BeWellPBC, a countywide behavioral health initiative engaging residents, providers and systems to advance behavioral health and wellness. Only 13 inaugural grants were awarded out of more than 100 applications from residents, nonprofit organizations, the faith community and schools with ideas to build more equitable and inclusive behavioral health support, promote workforce wellness and focus on residents most in need.

Fifty PBSC female students of color will be paired with mentors, including faculty, staff and alumni, who will provide support and encouragement to complete their first academic year. To qualify, participants must have a high school grade point average of 2.0 to 2.5.

Plans are to host a kickoff tea ceremony and a cultural expo as the culminating event. During the year, the students will participate in a series of seminars on financial planning, nutrition, wellness and mental health. Each student will receive a planner and a T-shirt. At the culminating event, a certificate and a gift card will be awarded for their participation.

Sherry Fletcher, student development advisor II on the Boca Raton campus and second vice president of NCBAA, said she had a desire to start a mentoring program, so when she

learned of the BeWellPBC grant, she encouraged NCBAA to partner with the Student Counseling Center and work with the PBSC Grants office to pursue the funding.

“I think young women in college need role models,’’ Fletcher said, reflecting on her own undergraduate experience and the benefits she gained from participating in a similar program.

“Black and Brown students are still typically underserved, and they need somebody to help them get across the finish line.”

The College already has a similar program, Aspiring Male Panthers, that targets men of color. The Sister to Sister project comes as PBSC, as part of its strategic plan, is working to improve retention and help close the graduation gap for minority students at the College.

While Sister to Sister will serve 50 students for 2020-2021, the goal is to sustain the initiative beyond the grant year.

“Women are the foundation of the world but carry the world on their shoulders, and they tend to do this alone. The Sister to Sister project will be one of their supports along their route to greatness,’’ said Dr. Roxanna Anderson, a psychology professor at the Boca Raton campus and president of NCBAA, an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges that works to maximize personal and career opportunities for African American students, faculty, staff and administrators. “The project is to provide support by providing them with a mentor who can come to their aid whenever the mentee hits a roadblock… and get to know them better.”

Delray Beach assistant police Chief Gene Sapino is one of four finalists for the top cop’s job in Bluffton, South Carolina.

The four were whittled from a list of more than 100 applicants spanning 30 states.

The $106,000 a year job became vacant when the former police Chief Chris Chapmond returned to become the chief in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Chapmond previously served for 22 years in Hot Springs, including the latter two years as assistant chief. The Town of Bluffton is looking to hire its fourth chief in as many years.

Sapino said, if hired, he plans to make Bluffton his new home for a long time.

“Leadership is key, and my plans are to stay there,” he told The Island Packet newspaper in Hilton Head. “I’m not using it as a stepping stone.”

Some town officials say they would like to see their police department reflect the town’s diversity. According to the latest Census, Hispanics make up 15.5 percent of Bluffton’s 27,495 residents, and nearly 8 percent are blacks. Bluffton has as many residents as Greenacres.

Sapino, with his more than 25 years of law enforcement experience, said he is ready for the challenge. He witnessed his agency increase its minority representation over the years, and as an assistant chief, was instrumental in it reflecting the community.

The 66-officer Bluffton police department mirrors Delray Beach police department in many ways. Bluffton is a very progressive police department, which uses social media effective-

ly, Sapino told the newspaper.

“They do outreach in the community.

They give virtual ride-alongs,” he said. “They’re doing all the things we do.”

He promised that under his watch, his agency would not be a haven for rejects from other departments, a practice that has plagued the Bluffton police agency in the past.

“We do not take employees with substantial baggage,” Sapino told the newspaper. “We vet them thoroughly before they become a police officer.”

He added that he would strive for excellence and professionalism.

“The people of the town deserve that,” he said. “I would do everything I can to gain the trust of not only the citizens but of the (officers).”

Known for several art galleries, Bluffton is between Interstate 95 and Hilton Head Island.

In 2018, SafeWise listed Bluffton as the fourth safest municipality in South Carolina, and in 2019 The Home Security Advisor named it the safest municipality in the state.

Town manager Marc Orlando said he hopes to hire his chief by mid-September.

The other finalists are Ricky Pinksaw, chief of police in Emporia, Virginia; Stephenie Price, assistant chief of police of the Savannah Police Department and Michael Ricks, program director for criminal justice technology at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, in Beaufort, South Carolina. Ricks also served as chief of police for the Moss Point, Mississippi, and Tuskegee, Alabama, police departments.

Glades and Clint Moore Road to Undergo Extensive Construction By: Nadia Gordon Glades Road/I-95 and Clint Moore Road are set to undergo extensive construction, as a result Clint Moore road will experience a full-closure spanning for 15 months.

On August 24 at the City Council Workshop, the Florida Dept. of Transpor tation (FDOT) and project representatives presented plans for a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at Glades Road and the Clint Moore Road overpass bridge replacement.

The City of Boca Raton says that these construction projects are part of the more extensive I-95 Express Lanes project currently in progress in Boca Raton and Delray.

The Glades Road/I-95 Interchange project is estimated to begin early 2020 and is set to be completed by late 2022. The goal is to

reduce traffic congestion, increase safety and improve mobility.

The Clint Moore Road overpass bridge replacement project is scheduled to begin late 2020/early 2021 and is estimated to be completed by early 2023.

Clint Moore Road Overpass Bridge replacement project According to the City of Boca Raton Clint Moore Road will undergo a full closure during the 15 month construction period as opposed to a 26 month construction period while maintaining traffic on the bridge to expedite construction and minimize impact to drivers.

The project will result in widened lanes to improve clearance over the I-95 travel lanes, in addition a one-lane exclusive access for emergency responders, as well as 7 ft. bike lanes with multi-use paths.

Duff and Bang win 2020 Stewart Awards for teaching Dr. Suzie Duff and Dr. Jang-Young Bang, who are both credited with launching a new program or initiative at Palm Beach State College, are the 2020 recipients of the Stewart Distinguished Teaching Award.

T h e Lake Worth campus professors were surprised with the news at a recent faculty forum. The award, which comes with a $5,000 cash prize for each winner, is the highest honor presented by Palm Beach State College for e xc e l l e n c e in teaching and learning in the classroom.

“When I was hired full time, I remember going to Convocation, hearing the winners’ names called and thinking ‘that’s going to be me one day,’’’ said Duff, who teaches human services and psychology and serves as Human Services Department chair. “It’s super special that this has come to fruition for me.”

“I’m very grateful for the award,’’ added Bang, who teaches science.

A 16-member faculty committee, including past award winners, chose this year’s winners after an extensive self-nomination process that drew 12 applicants this year. Professors are required to demonstrate that they go above the norm by developing, implementing, assessing and analyzing innovative learning practices to help students succeed in reaching their academic goals.

Duff was chosen because of a “happiness project” she developed for her General Psychology class. She based the project on positive psychology research that suggests that people’s psychological health and wellness can improve by them adjusting their mindset to think more positively.

She said the lesson helps students learn how to change their mindset in the present and gives them tools they can use in the future.

Starting at the beginning of the semester, they incorporate five small changes into their lives, including writing down 250 things for which they are thankful, journaling about five positive experiences, practicing meditation, conducting five acts of kindness and changing a physical behavior like drinking more water. They submit a journal at the end of the semester to document their work.

“What good is teaching them psychological theories, data from research or therapeutic modalities if they can’t learn how to apply the information to find joy in their Community

lives? The idea is that we can’t just teach students information, test them on it and then send them on their way. We need to teach students how to apply what they are learning to their own lives,’’ said Duff, who holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Research Methodologies from Florida Atlantic University and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University.

Duff, a licensed m e n tal health counselor, spent the first part of her career serving people in need, including adults with mental, physical and developmental disabilities and children who experienced abuse and neglect. She worked as an adjunct professor at PBSC before joining the faculty full time in 2012. Among her other achievements at PBSC, she partnered with Dr. George Stoupas, also a PBC professor, to help create the Bachelor of Science in Human Services degree program that launched this fall.

Bang was chosen for a review lesson, which was a take-home diagnostic quiz, he created for this General Physics 1 students that encouraged them to provide more reasoning and application of relevant principles used to get their answers. The diagnostic quiz, which they worked on in groups, was followed by a review, assessment and further reviews. The purpose was to enhance students critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Since joining PBSC in 2014, he has taught both calculus- and algebra-based physics, conceptual physics, earth science, and some math courses. He served as Physical Science and Chemistry department chair from fall 2015 to spring 2020. As a member of eLearning and Instructional Technology Committee, he organized the Community of Practice for Lake Worth faculty.

As a member of the College Affordability Task Force, he has led the Open Educational Resources Promotion Subcommittee.

His physics students and he created PBSC’s Physics Club in fall 2015, and he has served as the Physics Club advisor since then. He holds bachelor’s degree in physics and philosophy from the University of California Berkeley and a doctorate degree in theoretical high-energy physics with a minor in mathematics from Indiana University, Bloomington.

FAU Study Finds Certain Face Coverings Ineffective for Protecting Against COVID-19 By: Nadia Gordon A new study conducted by Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science finds that face shields and masks with valves do not aid in preventing the spread of COVID-19. In fact, they may have adverse effects.

The study done by researchers at FAU’s College of Engineering and computer science was conducted in order to increase public awareness about the effectiveness of face shields alone as well as face masks with exhalation valves.

Dhanak, Ph.D., department chair, professor, and director of SeaTech. “Over time, these droplets can disperse over a wide area in both lateral and longitudinal directions, albeit with decreasing droplet concentration.”

To simulate the performance of the face shield, researchers used a horizontal laser sheet in addition to a vertical laser sheet revealing how the moisture moves horizontally. Researchers noted that not only do the droplets spread forward, but they also spread in a reverse direction.

Even in Death, Monica Herring is Still Giving of Herself Delray Beach is mourning the death of Monica Herring, the liturgical ballet aficionado, who has been praising God through her gift of dance for close to 30 years.

Monica, 37, was pronounced dead at Delray Medical Center earlier this week after she was involved in a motor vehicle crash on Sept. 2.

A major dancer in her own right, Monica was known over Palm Beach County for her gentle spirit. Whenever someone asked her to perform, she gladly made every effort to share her talent. And whether she was working with kids at Banyan Creek Elementary by day, the Achievement Center for Children and Families in the evenings,

or dancing in churches or at events in her off duty hours, she gave her best.

Monica was happiest performing. In public she was more reserved and more private. But when she was ministering through dance, that’s where she let out her heart and soul. Dancing was her way of coping with the ills of this world.

She began dancing at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church and served as the Angelletes Praise Dance instructor for a while. She danced with Love & Action Productions and also managed youth performer Fisher Hooks, who was named South Florida Gospel Music Awards’ 2017 Best Gospel New Artist of the Year.

Monica was a product of KOP

Mentoring Network and I watched as she perfected her art over the years. I recalled when she began teaching some of our students her art, I had some trepidations because liturgical dancing was not widely embraced in local churches then. She however assured me that, “It will be OK Mr. C. Ron, trust me.” And it was.

For her, it was not about performing for an audience, it was about praising God. She was never putting on a show in the traditional sense. Whatever form Monica’s worship took, she had a single goal: drawing others to the faith they embrace.

If there is any consolation in Monica’s passing, it would be knowing that

she will be dancing with the angels. And while we all will grieve her passing, it comforts me knowing that losing her life can save or improve the quality of life for up to 25 people because she donated her organs.

A scholarship fund is been established in honor of Monica at the Achievement Center for Children and Families.

Additional infor mation was not available at press time.

A memorial is being planned locally and funeral services will be held in Georgia.

The Business of Brokenness What do you typically do with something that gets broken, like a smartphone, a watch, a pen, or even a car? Try getting it repaired? Dispose of it? Or find a suitable replacement?

Such responses are common, but recently I was reading about a better way of repairing cherished possessions that can actually make them more valuable.

Have you heard about “Kintsugi”? Also called Kintsukuroi, it means “golden repair.” It’s a centuries-old Japanese art for restoring broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with precious metal, such as gold, silver or platinum. This process is rooted in a philosophy that regards breakage and repair as part of the valued object’s history, rather than something to be disguised or forgotten. In effect, this amounts to a celebration of the brokenness.

This caused me to think about the episodes of brokenness we experience September 11 - September 17, 2020

throughout the course of this journey we call life. No matter how much we try to avoid it, failure figures as prominently in our careers as does success: Job interviews for promising jobs don’t work out. Much-anticipated promotions don’t come. Well-conceived business ventures don’t succeed. Sales contracts are not finalized. Entrepreneurs have to file for bankruptcy, sometimes more than once, when risks are not rewarded.

What if, instead of trying to ignore or conceal such failures and broken times, we gave them the Kintsugi treatment, seeing negative experiences as opportunities for growth, to persevere until we achieve success?

Brokenness can serve valuable purposes in our personal lives as well. In fact, the Bible teaches that God uses it to build us into the men and women He desires for us to become. Psalm 51:17 says, “The sacrifices of God are a bro-

ken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” Why is this? Let’s look at some other Scripture passages to find an answer: Brokenness develops necessar y humility. Success has the tendency to make us feel puffed up, filled with pride and thinking more highly of ourselves than we should. “For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble of spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite’” (Isaiah 57:15).

Brokenness gets our hearts back on the right course. Sometimes our outward actions seem right, but deep down we realize they are based on the wrong motives. Being broken can cause us to reexamine not only what we do, but also why we are doing it. “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrific-

www.bocaratontribune.com

es as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22).

Brokenness can turn our eyes back to God. When things are going well for us, both professionally and personally, we can become tempted to forget our reliance on God. “So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in loving devotion” (Joel 2:13).

Brokenness helps us learn to be dependent. The business and professional world often promotes an attitude of, “I can do this all by myself.” Experiencing brokenness can bring us to the end of our trust in self-sufficiency. Jesus declared, declared, “I am the vine, you are the branches…apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

COLUMNISTS ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

FAITH

By Robert Weinroth

The Inspirational Value of Managers

Recap of Issues Addressed by PBC Board of County Commissioners at Its September 1st Meeting At the September 1, 2020, Board of County Commissioners meeting, the board took the following action: COVID-19 – received a report from Dr. Alina Alonso, director of the Florida Department of Health-Palm Beach County and Emergency Management Director Bill Johnson on local COVID-19 mitigation efforts. To date, Palm Beach County has reported a total of 41,965 confirmed cases and 1,136 fatalities. The county’s overall positivity rate is 12.98 percent, The daily positivity rate stands at 3.49 percent and the positivity rate per 100,000 cases is 2.9 percent.

Dr. Alonso said these numbers are very good but, “there is still a long road ahead of us. We are nowhere near to having herd immunity.”

Phase 2 – reviewed staff recommendations for an incremental Phase 2 reopening of certain entertainment venues, schools and other businesses in Palm Beach County after Labor Day. Following several hours of discussion and public comment, board members agreed to send a letter to the governor requesting approval of an incremental Phase 2 plan.

County Mayor, David M Kerner, will deliver a copy of the letter to Governor Ron DeSantis at a meeting on Thursday.

Mandatory face coverings, physical distancing and enhanced sanitation practices will continue to be enforced.

Rebel Recovery – approved a contract with Rebel Recovery Florida Inc. for needle exchange program services for the period September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2025. This action authorizes a needle exchange program to legally operate within Palm Beach County as part of the Infectious Disease Elimination Program. By the end of the contract period, the pro-

gram will provide services to a projected 200 unduplicated participants and exchange an estimated 210,000 needles/syringes. No County funds will be used in this effort.

EMS – agreed with a staff finding of extraordinary circumstances and extended the current secondary service provider Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for American Medical Response and Medic Ambulance Service to provide ALS transport and BLS inter-facility transfer services for an initial period of six months to June 30, 2021, with an option by the BCC to extend the two COPCN renewals for one additional six month period, if necessary.

Advisory Board – received an annual report presentation of the 15-member Advisory Commission on Women. The ACW sent surveys to 24 agencies/providers and 8 topics were identified as main challenges and/or concerns. Following the receipt of the surveys, the ACW held listening sessions in six locations throughout the county. One recommendation will be to organize a job-matching event that reflects feedback received at the listening sessions.

Beaches – announced that all county-owned beaches and beach parks will be open Labor Day weekend. They include Coral Cove Park, Tequesta; Carlin Park, Jupiter; DuBois Park, Jupiter; Jupiter Beach Park, Jupiter; Loggerhead Park, Juno Beach; Ocean Cay Park, Jupiter; Juno Beach Park, Juno Beach; Ocean Reef Park, Riviera Beach; Phil Foster Park, Riviera Beach; R. G. Kreusler Park, Palm Beach; Ocean Inlet Park, Ocean Ridge; Ocean Ridge Hammock Park, Ocean Ridge; Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream; and South Inlet Park, Boca Raton.

FAC Scholarship – recognized A’Niyah Miller, a recent graduate of Glades Central High School, as the recipient of the 2020 Florida Association of Counties Presidential Scholarship.

Gallup, a prestigious analytics and advisory company founded more than 80 years ago, has published a book called It’s the Manager.According to an article about the book in the Wall Street Journal, Gallup research discovered “the single most profound distinct and clarifying finding” in its 80-year history.

The Gallup organization’s study revealed that managers did not just influence the results their teams achieved; they accounted for 70 percent of the variance in the productivity levels of their people. As a result, Gallup began to advise companies to seek out managers who infect their teams with a sense of purpose, individuals that function more like a coach.

One of the study’s conclusions was that managers can help bridge the gap between engaged and disengaged workers. We see this truth reflected in the biblical description of Israelite king David, a talented leader who knew how to engage others in his cause. In Psalm 78:72, we read, “David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.” If you want your business to flourish, hire managers skilled at engaging others.

It’s the Manager also identified another factor critical for hiring the right managers. They must understand why it is so important for workers to become engaged in the work they do, not just show up and put in their time. The Gallup researchers observed that in previous decades, workers ranked their families, having children, owning a home and living in peace as priorities that ranked above having a good job. But by the turn of the 21st century, that trend changed. Those surveyed said a rewarding job ranked first.

The engagement level of workers can decline dramatically if their job feels unrewarding. Good managers have learned how to inspire the uninspired. The Old Testament book of Proverbs has an interesting insight about this: “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out” (Proverbs 20:5).

For businesses to flourish in the future, they will need to identify discerning managers who have the capacity to “infect” their team with a sense of purpose, one that they find rewarding.

To maximize both productivity and morale, there is another step beyond keeping workers engaged. The truly effective manager has the ability to inspire their teams to become even more engaged, and increase the level of engagement throughout the organization.

Gallup’s research determined only about one-third of employees are highly engaged in the United States, where the study was conducted. However, they discovered that in successful businesses, engagement can often reach as high as 68 percent of the entire organization.

This is important, they noted, because their research also discovered the top 10 percent of companies, ranked in terms of level of employee engagement, posted profit gains of 26 percent through the last recession, while their competitors having lower levels of employee engagement experienced a 14 percent decline in profits. People of character, those who can inspire their teams toward new heights of excellence and performance, are to be prized – and pursued.

“But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain” (Exodus 18:21).

In-person school to resume September 21 in Palm Beach County By: Megan Mandatta “The school district said students in preK through grade 12 self-contained ESE pro-

grams and ESE special schools, who choose in-person instruction, can return to school campuses on Sept. 16,” according to WPTV. “The district said those families will receive a phone call from their school with followup details.”

Parents have the option of continuing remote learning or allowing their children to return to school campuses. But they must let

FAU Alumni Association Launches AMPLIFY

the school district know as of September 9.

The decision can be made here https://www. palmbeachschools.org/students_parents/ transportation/MakeYourChoice

For children who continue distance learning, they are able to return to in-person learning whenever they want. The transition takes one week to process. But those who return to school can go back to distance learning overnight.

Adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines will be enforced with in-person instruction.

Florida Atlantic University’s Alumni Association (FAUAA) has launched AMPLIFY, a new program that features a series of webinars, spotlights and digital content that will be based upon the national heritage celebration of each month.

“As our society begins to have substantive conversations about racial bias and inequity, the Alumni Association saw an opportunity to have an influential impact on facilitating more of these conversations and provide resources for continued education,” said Chandra Roberson, assistant director of engagement for FAU’s Office of Alumni Relations. “FAU was founded on the principle of access to higher education for all and has continued that legacy with an

incredibly diverse student and alumni base, and we wanted to create a platform that celebrates their accomplishments, tells their stories, and amplifies their voices.”

AMPLIFY aims to enable discussions on change and to celebrate the impactful influence of minorities within our community and nation. It also includes a Black alumni-owned business directory, which will continuously accept new submissions and be updated regularly.

“Representation is important, so we hope that by showcasing and celebrating the successes and stories of our alumni, it will also act as an inspiration to our current students and our community,” said Roberson.

FAU Awarded $2.4M NSF Grant to Train Data Scientist Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science in collaboration with FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, and Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, have received a five-year, $2.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to train graduate students in data science technologies and applications. Data science and analytics is an emerging transdisciplinary area encompassing computing, statistics and various application domains that include medicine, nursing, and industry and business applications among others.

Although scientists and engineers are well trained in their own areas of specialty, there is a lack of integrative knowledge needed for new scientific discoveries and industry applications made possible by data science and analytics.

“Big data and data science is a burgeoning field that requires a highly-skilled workforce representing many disciplines who are adept at gathering, interpreting and analyzing massive amounts of data, which lead to powerful new insights,” said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “This significant grant from the National Science Foundation will enable our project team to develop an innovative and integrative curriculum that will provide our graduate students and the companies and institutions they will serve with a leading-edge to take them to the top of their field or industry.”

The FAU research team is led by Borko Furht, Ph.D., principal investigator, a professor in the Department of Computer and Electrical

Engineering and Computer Science, and director of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Knowledge Enablement (CAKE), FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science.

“Data scientists are not just statisticians or machine learning experts; they also are authori-

ties in the field or business where they are applying those skills,” said Furht. “Effective data scientists need to be able to work in interdisciplinary teams and to use data visualization and communication skills to communicate their findings to individuals not trained in data science. Our program will produce graduates with technical depth and understanding of data science technologies and applications.”

The project team includes Janet Robishaw, Ph.D., senior associate dean for research and chair, Department of Biomedical Science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, and an expert on genomic analysis; Ruth Tappen, Ed.D., Christine E. Lynn Eminent Scholar and Professor, FAU’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nurs-

ing, and an expert on nursing management and memory disorders; Taghi Khoshgoftaar, Ph.D., Motorola Professor in the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an expert on medical applications of big data analytics; Elan Barenholtz, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology, FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, and an expert on deep learning and brain behavior; Xingquan (Hill) Zhu, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an expert on deep networks and its applications; Oge Marques, Ph.D., an expert on data science and AI in medical applications; Jinwoo Jang, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, and an expert on data analytics in the Internet of Things (IoT) and transportation, and a fellow of FAU’s Institute for Sensing and Embedded Networks Systems Engineering (I-SENSE); Hari Kalva, Ph.D., associate chair and professor, Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an expert on software optimization; and Camellia SanfordDolly, an education and evaluation expert.

Thirty faculty members from five FAU colleges and 10 departments will participate in the program. Primary training elements of the curriculum will include the development of normalization courses, the creation of different testbeds for the various application domains, boot-camps, in-depth elective courses, and professional workshops. A total of 45 trainees will be funded by the program: 30 Ph.D. stu-

dents and 15 master’s students. In addition, the researchers expect to include in the cohort 10 to 12 Ph.D. students and 12 to 15 master’s students each year who will be supported by other grants and related departments.

“While data science technologies and applications have evolved significantly over the last several years, it is clear that current graduate training in data science does not sufficiently prepare students for future challenges as researchers and practitioners in data science and its applications,” said Daniel C. Flynn, Ph.D., FAU’s vice president for research. “With this grant from the National Science Foundation, our interdisciplinary team at Florida Atlantic University will leverage their extensive expertise and talents to provide a unique and comprehensive training opportunity for the next generation of data scientists.”

The convergent research themes will focus on three data science and analytics areas: medical and health care applications, industry applications, and data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Each course will be developed by at least two faculty members from two different disciplines. Integrated research and training and multiple testbeds for different application domains will be developed in FAU’s new NSFfunded Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Laboratory. Each testbed, which relates to a research project, will include a computer platform, software tools, and a set of learning modules. Research projects will be formulated jointly with industry partners who are members of the NSF CAKE at FAU.
