More room at the table for “We Dine Together” clubs at Boca high schools Five years after the startup, “We Dine Together” club’s still helping new students adjust at Boca Raton Community High School. Now its success has earned community support to expand.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation’s generous $12,000 donation will allow the nonprofit Boca Raton’s Promise to help this inclusion initiative grow new clubs in Boca Raton and Delray Beach public and non-public schools.

“We Dine Together” club members help new students assimilate by ensuring they don’t eat lunch alone.

Conversations follow, and invitations are extended to join established club activities and find needed resources.

Started in 2017 by a then Boca High student, the school named AP English teacher Jordan Hernandez as club advisor.

Funcamps Opens New State of the Art Facility at FAU Funcamps celebrates its 25th anniversary this summer in Boca Raton with more than 7,000 campers that have learned invaluable skills that will last a lifetime. This summer, Funcamps (www. funcamps.com) is opening up in a new state-of-the-art facility at Florida Atlantic University. MagiCamp, Space, Science and Jurassic camp will all be offered at FAU. Parents send their children again and again not just because of the fun experience, but for the relationships and skills campers cultivate each summer.

“MagiCamp has been a part of my life for 12 years, and in addition to having a blast every summer, it’s taught me confidence and how to perform in front of an audience,” said Harrison Melull, an Olympic Heights High graduate and former camper and counselor. “Funcamps has helped teach me responsibility and how to manage kids in addition to learning how to be a magician.”

MagiCamp is actually the impetus of Funcamps, programs which offer a fun and creative approach to the world of day camps. From Space and Rocket Camp and Amazing Science Camp to JurassicCamp to Camp Idol, Funcamps has a program for everyone.

COMMUNITY Boca Helping Hands Expands Food Feeding South Florida® Announces its Third Annual “Feed Distribution in Boynton Beach Your Creativity” Art Competition

Feeding South Florida, the leading domestic hunger-relief organization in South Florida, is excited to announce its Third Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition. Elementary, middle, and high school students throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties are invited to participate for the opportunity to have their artwork converted to one of Feeding South Florida’s truck wraps – a 36-foot moving billboard that travels throughout South Florida.

The art competition is the first of Feeding South Florida’s several “Summer Hunger Ends Here” initiatives, a campaign designed to raise the awareness and funds necessary to end summer hunger in South Florida. It’s aimed to engage students, their parents, teachers, and schools in a critical issue, while also recognizing and highlighting the talent in our community.

Summer months are some of the most difficult times for South Florida families because when school is not in session, some kids don’t have access to free or reduced-price school meals. In South Florida alone, there are nearly 200,000 children who don’t know from where they will get their next meal, and over 500,000 who rely on free or reduced meals during the school year.

Seeking to fill the void of school meals, Feeding South Florida is a proud sponsor of the USDA Summer Food Service Program, providing meals to kids at Summer BreakSpots, pop-up mobile pantries in lowincome communities. Feeding South Florida also assists families in its Community Caring Centers at both warehouse locations.

“We are excited to announce our third annual ‘Feed Your Creativity’ Art Competition that kicks-off our ‘Summer Hunger Ends Here’ campaign,” said Sari Vatske, executive president of Feeding South Florida. “Participating in the art competition allows students to give a voice to nearly 200,000 children who go to bed hungry in South Florida.”

The first-place winner will be awarded: Artwork is displayed as a truck wrap on

a 36-foot tractor/trailer that travels throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties.

Artwork prominently displayed at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park warehouse until Aug. 31, 2022.

Artwork inclusion in Feeding South Florida’s “Million Meal Summer” Food Frenzy promotion, including digital toolkit and/or social media assets.

Announcement on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Other accolades include: Youth People’s Choice Award: the piece with the most “likes” on Facebook and Instagram wins.

Youth Ambassador Award: Feeding South Florida’s kids council chooses this award.

Orange Ribbon Award: The judges choose the piece that speaks most to the mission of ending hunger.

School Spirit Award: Given to the school that has the highest number of pieces submitted.

Boca Helping Hands (BHH) is expanding its food distribution schedule in Boynton Beach as part of the organization’s hunger relief efforts in Palm Beach County.

Starting on March 2, BHH will be serving the Boynton Beach community five days a week through its drive-thru Pantry Bag Program. The program is open to qualifying Palm Beach County residents living at or below the poverty level as determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Individuals enrolled in SNAP, TANF, or Medicare/Medicaid automatically qualify. Registration is completed in-person during their first visit to any of five distribution locations.

The Boynton Beach satellite food distribution is located at First Baptist Church of Boynton Beach, 301 N Seacrest Blvd, Boynton Beach, FL 33435. Distribution occurs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 am – 12 pm and Wednesday from 1 pm – 2:30 pm. Pantry Bag Program clients receive non-perishable staples such as rice, pasta, and beans in addition to seasonal fresh produce and protein.

Pantry Bag Program client Patrice D. says the food helps supplement her fami-

ly’s income. “There’s five of us in the family. It helps us with the food, and if my husband doesn’t have work, which he usually does, but sometimes he doesn’t have work.”

The Boynton Beach satellite distribution site first opened in November of 2017. Demand has steadily increased since then, growing from 355 pantry bags of groceries distributed in that first month to 1,549 bags distributed in January of 2022.

Additional information on how to register for the Pantry Bag Program, hours, and distribution locations can be found on BHH’s website at BocaHelpingHands.org/PantryBagProgram.

In addition to receiving pantry bags of groceries, Boynton Beach residents are also eligible for emergency financial assistance for rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare vouchers for medical, dental, and behavioral care services for the uninsured. Requirements and additional information about how to apply for financial assistance can be found at BocaHelpingHands.org/ResourceCenter. Additional information for how to obtain healthcare vouchers can be found at BocaHelpingHands.org/Healthcare.

In keeping with Feeding South Florida’s belief that food is a bridge to understanding others, the 2022 theme is “Food is Community.”

The deadline to submit artwork is Feb. 28. All artwork will be displayed during a Gallery Night in May, where winners will also be announced. The winning truck will be revealed in Summer 2022.

Additional instructions regarding preferred colors, size, and accepted mediums are available at www.tinyurl.com/ARTtoFSF. Students may also register to learn more.

Sponsorships and in-kind donations are available. For more information, contact Michele Fernandez at 954.518.1818 x1863 or mfernandez@feedingsouthflorida.org.

Novel Wearable Armband Helps Uses of Prosthetic Hands Typing on a keyboard, pressing buttons on a remote control or braiding a child’s hair has remained elusive for prosthetic hand users. With current myoelectric prosthetic hands, users can only control one grasp function at a time even though modern artificial hands are mechanically capable of individual control of all five digits.

A first-of-its-kind study using haptic/touch sensation feedback, electromyogram (EMG) control and an innovative wearable soft robotic armband could just be a game changer for users of prosthetic hands who have long awaited advances in dexterity. Findings from the study could catalyze a paradigm shift in the way current and future artificial hands are controlled by limb-absent people.

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science in collaboration with FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science investigated whether people could precisely control the grip forces applied to two different objects grasped simultaneously with a dexterous artificial hand.

For the study, they also explored the role that visual feedback played in this complex multitasking model by systematically blocking visual and haptic feedback in the experimental design. In addition, they studied the potential for time saving in a simultaneous object transportation experiment compared to a one-at-a-time approach. To accomplish these tasks, they designed a novel multichannel wearable soft robotic armband to convey artificial sensations of touch to the robotic hand users.

Results, published in Scientific Reports, showed that multiple channels of haptic feedback enabled subjects to successfully grasp and transport two objects simultaneously with the dexter-

February 25 - March 3, 2022

ous artificial hand without breaking or dropping them, even when their vision of both objects was obstructed.

In addition, the simultaneous control approach improved the time required to transport and deliver both objects compared to a one-at-atime approach commonly used in prior studies. Of note for clinical translation, researchers did not find significant differences between the limb-absent subject and the other subjects for the key performance metrics in the tasks. Importantly, subjects qualitatively rated haptic feedback as considerably more important than visual feedback even when vision was available, because there was often little to no visually perceptible warning before grasped objects were broken or dropped.

“Our study is the first to demonstrate the feasibility of this complex simultaneous control task while integrating multiple channels of haptic feedback noninvasively,” said Erik Engeberg, Ph.D., corresponding author and a professor, FAU Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering , College of Engineering and Computer Science, a member of FAU’s Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences , Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, and a member of I-SENSE and the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute. “None of our study participants had significant prior use of EMG-controlled artificial hands, yet they were able to learn to harness this multitasking functionality after two short training sessions.”

To provide haptic feedback, Engeberg and the research team worked on the EMG control and design of the custom fabricated multichannel bimodal soft robotic armband with Emmanuelle Tognoli, Ph.D., co-author, a research professor,

FAU Department of Psychology and Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, and a member of the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute.

The armband was fitted with soft actuators to convey a proportional sense of contact forces; vibrotactile stimulators were included to indicate if the grasped object(s) had been broken.

The armband was designed for haptic feedback at three locations corresponding to the thumb, index, and little finger, a sufficient number to convey the amplitudes of the forces applied to both objects grasped by the hand. The armband has three air chambers, each of which proportionally corresponds to one of the three BioTacs equipped on the Shadow Hand fingertips.

The armband also is equipped with three co-located vibrotactile actuators that would vibrate to alert the subject if the object(s) in the grasp(s) had been broken (if one or both force thresholds was/were exceeded).

“Examples of multifunction control demonstrated in our study included the proportional control of a card being pinched between the index and middle fingers at the same time that the thumb and little finger were used to unscrew the lid of a water bottle. Another simultaneous control demonstration was with a ball that was grasped with three fingers while the little finger was simultaneously used to toggle a light switch,” said Moaed A. Abd, first author and a Ph.D. student in FAU’s Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering.

Information discovered from the study could be used in the future frameworks of highly com-

www.bocaratontribune.com

plex bimanual operations, such as those required of surgeons and guitarists, with the goal of enabling upper limb-absent people to pursue career paths and recreational pursuits currently unattainable to them.

“Enabling refined dexterous control is a highly complex problem to solve and continues to be an active area of research because it necessitates not only the interpretation of human grasp control intentions, but also complementary haptic feedback of tactile sensations,” said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean, FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science. “With this innovative study, our researchers are addressing the loss of tactile sensations, which is currently a major roadblock in preventing upper limb-absent people from multitasking or using the full dexterity of their prosthetic hands.”

Other study co-authors are Joseph Ingicco, a graduate of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Biorobotics Lab within FAU’s Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering; and Douglas T. Hutchinson, M.D., an orthopedic hand surgeon affiliated with the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics.

The research was supported by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the National Institutes of Health (NIH); the National Institute of Aging of the NIH; the National Science Foundation; the United States Department of Energy; Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and seed grants from the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute and FAU I-SENSE.

Lois Dolphus Martin, Longtime Educator, Tenacious Warrior for her city Shortly after the integration of Delray Beach’s Carver High School in the early 1970s, Lois Martin found herself fighting her peers for respect and fair treatment in the schoolhouse.

And upon returning home to Boca Raton, the math teacher faced another hurdle: racism and discrimination.

“I have been fighting racism since I was a child, which prepared me for anything,” Mrs. Martin, who credited her strong Christian upbringing for her endurance, once said.

Services were held recently for the longtime educator, volunteer, and community and civic leader, who died Jan. 9. She was 93.

“What a wonderful human being she was,” said Bill Harper, director of food and warehouse operations for Boca Helping Hands, where Mrs. Martin volunteered for more than 10 years. “She is just sitting in glory now, singing.”

Addie Hudson, Mrs. Martin’s best friend, said the news of her passing was an unexpected blow.

“I am just so devastated about it,” said Hudson, 95, who was the maid of honor in Mrs. Martin’s wedding and the god mother of her son, Edward. “I was just hoping she would hold on to see her grandchildren graduate from college and high school.”

The two spoke daily about everything, Hudson said.

Mrs. Martin spent 50 years in the education-

al trenches, beginning at Pearl City Elementary School, and Roadman Elementary School, which was the city’s first school for blacks. She graduated in 1946 as class salutatorian from Carver High School before heading to Florida Normal College in St. Augustine. She transferred to Florida A&M University after two unhappy years to pursue more independence and a challenging academic environment, according to an April 2002 interview with The History Makers. She worked hard to pay for her education and graduated in 1950 as one of four female math majors in her class.

Mrs. Martin began graduate work at Boston College but returned to teach math at her alma mater, Carver. She also taught math for five years during the turbulent 1960s in an integrated environment at Booker T. Washington High School in Montgomery, Alabama, and at Carver Middle School in Delray Beach, where she retired in 1988.

A passionate advocate for education, Mrs. Martin did not mince her words when it came to fairness.

As a reporter for one of the area’s dailies, I spent some time with her shortly after she retired. She had a no tolerance for nonsense and was a great storyteller.

She once told me about a supervisor at Carver High, who “did not know any math” and asked her for help.

“She said, ‘I want you to teach me how to check the lesson plans and what’s needed…,” Mrs. Martin recalled, adding that the woman was simply unqualified for the job.

One day when Mrs. Martin was teaching quadratic equation, her supervisor returned her lesson plan, peppered with red marks.

When Mrs. Martin asked her, ‘What equation is this?’, the supervisor replied, “You know I don’t know any math, I don’t know what that is.”

She also said the red marks indicated she at least read the plan.

“I told her, ‘you better find yourself some whiteout and get every red mark out of my lesson plan book, and you’re going to hear from the principal’” Mrs. Martin said.

Mrs. Martin met with the principal and meticulously laid out her lesson plan. She explained that she had students with different learning levels and had to teach them accordingly.

“I can give you my scope of what I’m doing.

I can give you the booklet of where they’re going next and everything else and all of that,” she told him. “But just a lesson plan for this week I can’t do it. And I thank God that I have it all ready and here it is. I will not be doing any more lesson plan.’”

She was not required to write a lesson plan after that.

Viola Fashaw said her aunt played a significant role in her and her seven siblings’ lives.

“She helped my momma to raise us because

my father died when I was actually three years old and I had seven siblings,” Fashaw said.

And although Mrs. Martin was her math teacher at Carver High School, she did not get any break.

“She said if I got a C in her class, it would end up being a D because she did not want anybody think she was being partial to us,” Fashaw said.

Throughout her retirement, she remained engaged in the community. She was active in Ebenezer Baptist Church where she was a Sunday School teacher, secretary and treasurer.

She pushed for dignity and equality for the residents of Pearl City and Dixie Manor, the city’s only public housing complex. The city built the Lois Martin Community Center in her honor in Dixie Manor.

She also served on several city boards and participated in nonprofit organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and Boca Helping Hands, which provides food, medical and financial assistance to those in need.

She logged more than 3,200 hours there and no task was too hard for her. Some days, she would wrap utensils in napkins, make sandwiches for the center’s clients or check bags at the door.

“She really was thrilled to be here to talk to anybody and everybody she could,” Harper said.

“She got in the morning and came here to impact lives and was happy when she did.”

You Can Communicate Better!

Every human being comes into the world with communication mechanisms. Even newborn babies know how to share pressing needs to a parent or guardian, capable of supplying their request.

What many adults fail to understand, even after several years on planet earth, is that communication among fellow humans is a task that demands continued improvement. The mere utterance of words, or an expression of feelings, does not necessarily indicate that a message has been sufficiently grasped!

Those who are eager to be understood by others, so as to anticipate a response from them, are responsible to convey their message with clarity, free from interfering noises, and at a moment February 25 - March 3, 2022

which offers the best chances of comprehension, and the provision of an adequate response.

Not only serious issues, but also less significant matters, have the greatest probability of being heard, understood, and acted upon when timing, surroundings, and emotional wellbeing of those engaged in the conversation are key factors taken into consideration. A dialogue does it best!

It is the one communicating to another who has the primary responsibility of ascertaining that the message has been heard and understood. While using the vacuum cleaner, when the television or radio are blasting, or when children are fighting or crying nearby, is not the right time to convey messages to another person, with the

expectation of being clearly heard!

The moment a spouse enters the house after a long day at work is never the best time to address any issue of importance to be received by the hearer, especially when that issue entails potentially bad news.

I once heard of a wise wife who studiously avoided greeting her husband after his long day at work with any bad news, regardless of the seriousness of the issue. So, one day, as soon as her husband entered the house, with a welcoming smile she went to kiss him, and proclaimed: “Hi, honey; you should be happy to know that three of our four children are not in the hospital at the moment!” With that creative approach,

www.bocaratontribune.com

and the blow softened, she was able gradually to explain that one of the kids had broken a leg during a ball game, but all else was okay!

You can avoid being misunderstood, not being heard, or sharing your thoughts at an inappropriate moment by seeking the right time, the best setting, and the most clear and adequate words which effectively and exhaustively express what you desire to convey.

It is not late at night, much less when you are tired in bed ready to sleep, or at moments when other pressing sirens beckon another’s attention that you should spill your concerns, or seek an answer to significant matters. Communication is not hard, but it needs to be done effectively!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By: Rick Boxx

By Robert Weinroth

Palm Beach County to Offer a Peak Into The Cold War of the 1960’s In the words of Winston Churchill, those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis were issues confronting the 35th President of the United States.

Hidden on Palm Beach County’s Peanut Island is a fascinating relic of that era, the Detachment Hotel; otherwise known as the Kennedy Bunker.

The Board of County Commissioners recently approved a plan to restore the 1,800 square foot Cold War-era bunker.

In 1961, the United States Naval Construction Forces (“Seabees”) constructed the secret bunker for Kennedy at the end of his first year as president, during the run up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. The bunker was designed to house up to 30 people for 30 days The top-secret nuclear bomb shelter was designed to protect JFK during visits to the family’s Palm Beach estate, a short helicopter ride across the water. The bunker was closed shortly after the president’s assassination and was declassified in 1974.Hidden in the woods and underground, it fell into disrepair until restored in 1998. It was last open to the public in 2017.

The port has owned Peanut Island since 1923, five years after the 79-acre island was created from the dredged sand of the Lake Worth Inlet and is only accessible by boat.

Under the recently signed agreement between the county and port, the county will continue to operate a park (opened to the public in 1999) and the historical facilities (the bunker, Coast Guard station, Coast Guard boat house and Coast Guard docks) for the foreseeable future.

With the exception of a presidential seal, added as a modern enhancement, the decommissioned bunker is very close to its original design. The earth-covered structure is protected by multiple layers of concrete and rebar with entry made though a blast-hardened tunnel, with a 90-degree angle to minimize shockwaves from a nuclear explosion. The facility also contains a decontamination room and radio room Since it is located on an island, visiting it requires taking a water taxi, pri-

vate boat or a kayak.

The bunker is quite small, stocked with containers of drinking water, Army K-rations, a ham radio and a rocking chair, JFK’s seat of choice due to back injuries sustained during WWI and his service on the PT-109.

JFK had a similar shelter built on another vacation destination, Nantucket Island. That shelter has never been open to the public.

The Kennedy bunker has not open for tours since 2017. The non-profit that managed the facility lost its lease with the county after several years of conflict.

The county plans to restore the historic properties and operate it as a lowimpact, educational, historical and cultural facility and a passive park.

The County is seeking $1.5 million from the state, and another $1.5 million from the federal government to restore the facility.

A two-story, Colonial Revival-style house built in 1936 operated as a Coast Guard station during World War II. The Coast Guard station provided cover for the construction project.

At the time, official communications said the construction was being done to build storage facilities for the nearby station.

While the president was never evacuated to the shelter, it is likely Kennedy participated in drills that would have taken him to the location on two separate occasions. The presidential yacht, Honey Fitz, was seen operating near Peanut Island at least twice during the Kennedy presidency.

A significant amount of work, as well as permitting and fundraising, will be needed to restore the historical facilities. According to Eric Call, the County’s Recreation Director, it will likely be several years before the compound is accessible to the public.

State Rep. Mike Caruso has requested $1.5 million from the legislature for the project. A similar request submitted last session did not make it out of committee.

Once completed, the public will have access to the bunker and the former Coast Guard station.

Considering a Leader Who Would Impress Jesus One of the underestimated keys to business success is the ability to make a good impression on people we meet, especially those in positions of influence. And we all know the truth of the adage, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. So, if you had the opportunity, what individual would you like to impress?

Shifting from the realm of the marketplace, what do you think it would have taken to impress someone of the magnitude of Jesus Christ? He arguably has had more influence over people from every nation and culture than anyone else in history. Yet, in chapter 7 of the gospel of Luke we read about a man who caused Jesus to marvel. This is particularly notable because unlike Jesus, this leader was not even a Jew; instead, he was a Gentile, a Roman centurion.

This brief story tells us about a military leader, an official who commanded hundreds, asking Jesus to heal his servant. In this centurion we see several qualities which can help each of us become better leaders, even in the often impersonal, even harsh business and professional world.

The leader’s deep compassion. In Luke 7:2, we read, “And a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.”The first quality we discover is the officer’s compassion. We are told he regarded his slave highly and cared enough to pursue divine healing for him. This was extremely uncommon for that day, given the different standing of the two individuals, and very compassionate.

How far would you go to care for each member of your team, including those who are under your authority?

The leader’s strategic wisdom. A second

attribute about this centurion that stands out is his strategic wisdom. He could have pleaded his case personally, or even tried to exert his official power to intimidate Jesus. Being a Gentile, however, this Roman leader suspected he would not have much sway over Jesus. Instead, Luke 7:3 states, “When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.” This centurion wisely chose the Jewish leaders, people with a direct connection to Jesus, to ask on his behalf. Selecting the right people to represent you and your cause reveals strategic wisdom.

The leader’s courageous faith.The final attribute we see exhibited by this Roman centurion who asked Jesus to miraculously heal his servant is his courageous faith. He had obviously heard about Jesus and His miracles. Despite being a Gentile and not a Jew, basically an outsider to Jesus’ immediate sphere of influence, the officer completely believed that Jesus could heal his servant. What is even more remarkable, he was also convinced that Jesus could command healing without even being present!

This is why in Luke 7:9 we are told, “Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, ‘I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.’” The centurion not only believed Jesus could restore his servant to health, but also that He could accomplish it by long distance.

The centurion’s act of intercession showed that nothing – serious illness, cultural differences or distance – could deter his faith in Jesus’ healing ministry. In a similar way, we should all pray that our faith in Jesus remains strong enough to overcome whatever obstacles and business problems come our way.

Seenath and Patel selected as 2022 NISOD Excellence Awards winners

Professors Lystra Seenath and Dharmesh Patel, two well-regarded department chairs, have been selected as Palm Beach State College’s 2022 recipients of the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development Excellence Awards.

NISOD annually recognizes faculty and staff chosen by their respective community and technical colleges for excellence in teaching and learning. This year’s award winners will be recognized at NISOD’s annual International Conference on Teaching and Learning Excellence, which is scheduled for May 28-31 in Austin, Texas.

“I’m really honored to be selected by the leadership of the College,’’ said Patel, who chairs the architecture department on the Boca Raton campus. “There are a lot of amazing faculty members at this institution.”

“I’ve been at the College for a very long time and to be recognized is always a pleasure,” added Seenath, social science department chair in Lake Worth. “I’m very happy to be receiving the award.”

Patel and Seenath, both PBSC alumni, were nominated by College administrators, who lauded their work on campus and in the community.

“Professor Seenath is passionate about teaching and learning,’’ wrote Susan Caldwell, associate dean on the Lake Worth campus. “She loves being with her students and sharing what she learns from the courses she takes and the reading she does.” She noted that Seenath, who holds a master’s degree in sociology from Florida Atlantic University, is currently pursuing a doctorate in comparative studies.

After serving as an adjunct instructor, Seenath joined the faculty full time in 2007 and teaches sociology courses, including Introduction to Sociology, Cross-Cultural Communication and others. She has served on various committees, including the General Education Council, and she participated in the development of Guided Pathways. She was a mentor during the College’s transition from Blackboard to Canvas and February 25 - March 3, 2022

currently serves as a coach for continuing contract faculty.

Patel oversees the same program where he received his higher education foundation. He was hired as a full-time professor in 2009 after serving for two years as an adjunct instructor. He launched that year Arch Attack, a juried event to connect students to industry leaders and to each other. It became one of many ways he has engaged and supported students through the years to ensure a well-rounded education.

For two years, he and his students participated in Canstruction, a charitable event benefitting the Palm Beach County Food Bank. In 2012, his students created the “Lake Worth Image-ability” project to give city leaders ideas for how to enhance the city. Other student projects developed concepts for the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach to expand its 50,000-square foot arts education facility and provided ideas for an expansion project for the YMCA in Boynton Beach.

He said he often reminds students of the need to be engaged. “You’ve got to be involved in the community and stay connected with the people in the community,’’ said Patel, who holds a master’s degree from UCLA and a bachelor’s degree from Florida International University. “I think architecture has to be a community-based profession. By me reaching out to the community, they see that.”

Patel, who was selected Educator of the Year by the Palm Beach County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2014, also helped reestablish the Architecture Club and serves as its advisor.

“Professor Patel has dedicated himself to staying on the cutting edge of information related to the aspects of architecture. He has developed a solid Business Partnership Council that assist in providing valuable feedback to the needs of student employability and career path learning outcomes,” wrote Dr. Germany Dixon, associate dean at the Boca Raton campus.

More room at the table for “We Dine Together” clubs at Boca high schools Five years after the start-up, “We Dine Together” club’s still helping new students adjust at Boca Raton Community High School.

Now its success has earned community support to expand.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation’s generous $12,000 donation will allow the nonprofit Boca Raton’s Promise to help this inclusion initiative grow new clubs in Boca Raton and Delray Beach public and non-public schools.

“We Dine Together” club members help new students assimilate by ensuring they don’t eat lunch alone. Conversations follow, and invitations are extended to join established club activities and find needed resources.

Started in 2017 by a then Boca High student, the school named AP English teacher Jordan Hernandez as club advisor. Hernandez expanded the reach to Spanish River High School, where his wife teaches. “We’ll do a leadership summit for planning. These dollars will allow us to eventually roll out to the rest of the county,” Hernandez said.

The initiative has the full support of The School District of Palm Beach County through Chief of Equality and Wellness Keith Oswald

and district coordinator for student-based initiatives Kim Mazauskas.

“We Dine Together” club president Mateo Morales is a senior, and plans to bring the club concept to the college where he’s accepted. “It’s a mission,” he said.

“Students had the foresight to see the need and do something about it,” said Boca High principal Dr. Susie King.

With this gift, Foundation president Mark Larkin and Patricia Thomas, Boca Raton’s Promise founding board member and Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation board member attended the recent check presentation.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital continues mental health work started by Boca Raton’s Promise in 1999 as the nation’s first Hospital of Promise with help from the late Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell.

“This donation continues our work with the hospital foundation to lead the way to bring youth into leadership in Boca Raton,” Thomas said. “I hope ‘We Dine Together’ clubs will help fulfill the dream of the late Dr. Merrilee Middleton to offer youth leaders a chance to identify and solve today’s problems.”

FAU Ranked Among The Top 100 in America For Economic Mobility Florida Atlantic University was ranked No. 63 in the country for economic mobility in a recent national ranking of higher education institutions by Third Way, a public policy think tank.

M o r e than 1,300 u n ive r s i t i e s and colleges appeared in the inaugural ranking report “Out With the Old, In With the New: Rating Higher Ed

by Economic Mobility.” The report focuses on how well a school enables lower-to-middle income students to advance their opportunities in life through a college degree.

“We are proud to be recognized in this new national ranking for the opportunities we provide to our diverse student body,” Bret Danilowicz, Ph.D., FAU provost and vice president for academic affairs, said. “As a federally-designated Hispanic-serving institution that has eliminated equity gaps, FAU opens up economic advancement to

www.bocaratontribune.com

anyone seeking a better life.”

The publishers developed an Economic Mobility Index to “determine the return on investment that the average low-income student obtains from attending a particular institution of higher education,” according to Michael Itzkowitz, senior fellow at Third Way. To do this, they employ a formular y that determines a “Price-toEarnings Premium” and combines this with a look at the proportion of Pell Grant-eligible (lower income) students a university enrolls.

The Third Way decided to produce this ranking because as Itzkowitz wrote, “The reach, willingness, and ability to serve lowand moderate-income students well all combine to create the kind of socioeconomic mobility that institutions of higher education were intended to produce—but that isn’t prioritized in traditional rankings.”

5 Travel Tips for Pet Parents (StatePoint) Traveling with pets? Whether you’re taking to the skies or the highways and byways, bringing furry friends along for the ride can sometimes be stressful for pets and people alike. Consider these tips to make the journey easier on everyone: 1. Pack right: Be sure to pack more than enough food and medication for your pet for the duration of your scheduled travels and beyond. You’ll want to make sure that your pet is all set should unforeseen circumstances arise, such as weather-related travel delays.

You should also bring with you a water supply for your pet, bowls for food and water, a leash, carrier, a veterinary first aid kit, and of course, your pet’s favorite toys. And if you’re traveling somewhere cold and snowy, pack dog boots to protect paws from snow, ice and salt.

2. Support smooth sailing: Many dogs find travel particularly stressful. However, you can help support balanced behavior while on the road by giving your dog SurityPro Calm Soft Chews, a smoky bacon-flavored CBD soft

chew for dogs. Formulated to support your dog’s ability to cope with everyday stress, these chews can also be useful for those pet parents who entertain frequent guests. From Canopy Growth, the industry leader in CBD science for pets, SurityPro offers an easy way to give just the right amount of CBD to your dog. The brand partners with veterinarians, scientists and leading academic institutions to create chews and drops that support dogs’ joint health and

flexibility, healthy aging -- including cognitive function and eye health -- and products that enhance their physical and mental well-being.

For more information and directions for use, visit www.SurityPro.com.

3. Be prepared: Losing a pet is every pet parent’s worst nightmare, particularly when you are in an unfamiliar location. Microchipping however, can help unintentionally separated pets and families reunite safely and hap-

pily. This is especially important for jet set pets who are often far from home.

4. Play by the rules: Understand the stateby-state rules for driving with your pet. For example, a handful of states require that dogs be harnessed in the car with a dog seatbelt. Wherever your travels take you, driving with pets harnessed or in a crate is safer for both you and pets. Pets should never distract the driver or sit in the front seat where the impact of the airbag could hurt your pet if deployed.

5. Fly smart: Flying? Your pet should be in good health before taking to the skies. If you’re unsure if your pet is fit for air travel, consult your veterinarian. You should also be aware that some airlines have banned particular breeds from flying due to breathing issues caused by the length of their snout. Know the rules and recommendations before booking your flight.

With some smart strategies, you can help ensure your pet stays happy and healthy wherever your travels take you.

5 Ways to Rev Up Learning Fun With Toy Vehicles Ana (StatePoint) Vroom, vroom! There’s no doubt about it. Toy vehicles are fun to play with. They’re colorful, interactive and let kids imagine exciting worlds beyond the playroom.

They can also be a great way for little ones to learn new things. Here are five ways to rev up the learning fun at home with toy vehicles: 1. Fire up the “STEAM” engine: Using ramps and other homemade racecourse props, kids can learn some elementary principles of engineering and physics. Observe how steeper inclines allow toy cars to accelerate faster and how smoother surfaces prevent friction from slowing them down.

There’s a lot to discover while having fun.

2. “Drive” foundational skills: Some toys have built-in learning features, such as the Drop & Go Dump Truck from VTech.

This interactive toy truck not only counts each colorful rock it drops into the bucket, helping kids master their 1-2-3s, it also engages budding motor skills, plays melodies and phrases, and teaches tools and colors.

3. Sharing is caring: As with many open-ended toys and games, toy vehicles provide fun opportunities for kids to practice sharing, taking turns and cooperating.

4. Eco-friendly fun: Kids are never too young to learn the importance of taking care of the environment. And when they play with the Sort & Recycle Ride-On Truck, they’re already doing their part. This recycling truck is made from plastic that’s 90% reclaimed, which means less waste goes into landfills. Beginner recyclers can Plus

hop on this lean, green recycling machine and drive around while learning about the “Three Rs” –- reducing, reusing and recycling. The red heart, yellow hexagon and blue circle play pieces represent plastic, metal and paper, which kids can sort into the correct bin.

5. New words, new ideas: Playing with cars, trucks and other toy vehicles can introduce kids to a huge list of vocabulary words and new ideas, from car parts and types of construction equipment to words like “beep,” “honk” and “go.” Help bring these concepts to life by playing along with

www.bocaratontribune.com

your kids. Learning about the wide world of vehicles might even get the gears turning for some children. Today’s playtime could be tomorrow’s hobby or career.

With interactive toys and creative playtime ideas, kids will be on the fast track to learning fun.

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code

“But don’t thank the Government.

As Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always

fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this.

Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault

Florida Prepaid 2022 Open Enrollment Launches with Incentive to Encourage Florida Families to Start Saving for College Now Aiming to bring urgency to the importance of saving early for college, Florida Prepaid kicked off its annual Open Enrollment period today by offering families who purchase a 529 Prepaid Plan by April 30, 2022 up to $500 in a 529 Savings Plan to be used toward additional college expenses.

Open Enrollment runs February 1 through April 30, 2022 and is the annual window when families can lock in future tuition costs at today’s Plan prices. Plans start at $45/month. To encourage Florida families to get started saving for college, Florida Prepaid will invest in their college savings journey along with them. For each year of college or university Prepaid Plan purchased this Open Enrollment, Florida Prepaid will put $125 into a Florida 529 Savings Plan, up to $500.

“We know time is valuable, and families are busier than ever – always striving to provide a solid foundation for their children,” said Florida Prepaid College Board Chairman John

D. Rood. “We encourage Florida families to research Florida 529 Prepaid Plans this Open Enrollment and find the option that meets their goals and budget.”

While Florida Prepaid is the largest and longest-running prepaid college program in the nation, there are many Florida families that are not yet taking advantage of saving in a 529 college plan or saving for college at all.

Prepaid Plans allow families to save for college in a riskfree, stress-free way, locking in future college costs for less so their child’s college tuition is ready and waiting for them. Families simply pick a Prepaid Plan and make their payments.

There are no worries about the ups and downs of the stock market or how much tuition might go up. All Prepaid Plans are guaranteed by the State of Florida so families can never lose their investment. If a child attends an out-of-state or private college, a Prepaid Plan will pay the same amount as it would pay at a public college or university in Florida.

Sandler Family Ladies Chair Event, Support Research of Childhood Allergies and Asthma Three generations of the Sandler family ladies are chairing The New Directions Luncheon in Boca Raton. The family, well-known for their philanthropic endeavors, have seen firsthand the impact eczema, food allergies and asthma can have on children. So, Phyllis Sandler, her daughters Amy Ross, Robin Rubin and Andrea Schnurmacher, along with granddaughters Ali Benmen and Brittany Kohn, combined their efforts to raise critically important funds for research at National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. The luncheon will be held March 4 at Boca West Country Club and feature guest speaker Michelle Bernstein, an acclaimed chef, author and restaurateur. The speaker is presented by Judy Levis Krug.

The New Directions Luncheon is an annual event that has been held in Boca for over 10 years.

Speakers have ranged from a “New York Times” investigative reporter, to an Olympic champion, to a best-selling author. This year’s speaker promises to be equally compelling.

Bernstein has earned the coveted James Beard Award as well as bragging rights for beating Bobby Flay on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America.”

She is a regular guest on Bravo’s “Top Chef ” and ABC’s “Good Morning America.” The Miami native of Jewish and Latin decent is inspired by her

Just as with the Sandlers, pediatric allergies and asthma is a cause close to Bernstein’s heart. She has asthma and her son suffers with reflux. Both conditions are a part of the atopic march, a progressive condition in which eczema marches, or leads, to food allergies and then to asthma. There are currently no treatments to interrupt this progression. National Jewish Health is home to one of the leading allergy-immunology research and treatment programs in the United States and is currently conducting groundbreaking studies to better understand and prevent the atopic march.

750 SoFla Locals and Snowbirds Flock to JNF-USA’s Winter Connection Receptions Hundreds of South Florida locals and “snowbirds” seeking to strengthen their connection to the land and people of Israel, joined Jewish National Fund-USA (JNFUSA) at Boca West Country Club on Friday, February 4, 2022, for its annual Winter Connection brunch featuring actress, producer, writer, and activist, Noa Tishby.

Prior to the main program, JNF-USA’s major donors, including those committed to leaving a lasting legacy through a longterm financial or estate plan to Jewish National Fund, joined the Israeli superstar at the country club for a Gould Legacy Society reception and Meet & Greet at an upscale schmooze hour resembling “winter in the tropics.”

W i n ter Connection attendees also heard from JNFUSA’s President, Dr. Sol Lizerbram; CEO Russell F. Robinson; Consul General of Israel to Florida, Maor Elbaz-Starinsky; and Ron Werner, the president of JNF-USA’s Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) — a unique study abroad program for high school students where the land of Israel becomes a living classroom. “We have transformed the lives of 35,000 young men and women who are leaders today,” said Werner as he spoke about why JNF-USA continues to grow and invest in the program and the importance of building the next generation of Jewish leaders.

During the event, students from Rosenblatt High School at Donna Klein Jewish Academy, HADAR High School for Girls, and Katz Yeshiva High School presented awards to Century Council members who have given $100,000 or more to JNF-USA during their lifetime. Dr. Lizerbram remarked, “This is an award for the people who stood up and said, ‘count on me.’ You are part of history.”

Lizerbram continued: “It’s been a difficult journey over the past two years; however, the Jewish people know all about tough journeys. For 120 years, we’ve struggled, toiled, and ultimately succeeded to reestablish our homeland on our ancestral soil for Jewish people everywhere. Our journey hasn’t been easy, yet it has been fueled by great dreams and vision, and together, we have made miracles happen for the next generation and those yet unborn.”

“Because of our incredible partners (donors) here in South Florida and across the country, we have raised more than $879 million towards our $1 billion dollar campaign over the past few years,” added Robinson. “We call them partners rather than donors because their vision is our vision, Community

and their success is our success. As we continue to grow our campaign, the Jewish people gain strength from their generosity and leadership.”

Robinson also spoke about JNF-USA’s partnership with the Jewish Future Pledge, a worldwide movement working to ensure that vibrant Jewish life continues for generations to come as we all work to keep our Jewish world stronger for our children.

In the days leading up to the grand brunch, national leaders from across the country engaged new partners, while the organization hosted a series of intimate receptions throughout South Florida.

On Tuesday, February 1, Robinson, Werner, and former president of AMHSI, Robert Werner, joined local members of the investment and tech community, and local AMHSI alumni in Aventura to kick off a year of programs celebrating the 50th anniversary of AMHSI educating thousands of teenagers who have made a difference and become power-pick figures in the United States. AMHSI was founded in 1972 by Miami residents and merged with JNF-USA in 2013.

Since then, enrollment has doubled. Approximately 250 students from South Florida attend AMHSI each year and approximately 10,000 alumni are from the region.

The organization then hosted a VIP reception at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, February 2, for JNF-USA’s elite World Chairman’s Council members who have contributed over $1 million in their lifetime. These individuals are instrumental to ensuring JNF-USA continues to keep the promise it made to Israel more than a century ago.

The philanthropists were presented with an engraved iconic JNF-USA Blue Box made of crystal at the reception, as a reminder of their unparalleled commitment to the land and people of Israel.

The following evening, several hundred JNF-USA President’s Society members who have contributed $10,000 or more to its 2022 Annual Campaign, enjoyed an elegant dinner and book signing with Tishby at Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach.

Place of Hope Celebrates 16th Annual Hope Bash Place of Hope celebrated its 16th Annual Hope Bash in the Palm Beach region on the evening of February 11 at Trump National Golf Club. The event was co-chaired

by Trish Bender, Nicole Bessette, Michelle Grande, Sue Ende and Danielle Jenkins and presented by The Paddock Family Foundation.

Place of Hope remains thankful for the friends and new supporters that showed up for the kids, youth, and families supported by its various programs. The record-breaking funds raised at this event will allow Place of Hope to further its mission of defending the fatherless and ensure each child has the opportunity for a bright future.

“Hope Bash is a great opportunity to show our friends gratitude and welcome new supporters to the why behind Place of Hope,” said Charles Bender, Place of Hope Founding CEO. “It is thanks to your support and God’s provision that we have been able to reach over 20,000 hurting and abused children, young adults, and families right here in our neighborhood. We are reminded by heartbreaking news reports of the heinous acts some parents have put their children through right here in Jupiter and feel called to our mission of giving hope back to children who de-

serve to experience love and family.”

Attendees heard about Place of Hope’s impact in 2021 spanning across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County. Leaders also shared the ways the organization is evolving its programs to meet the everchanging needs of foster youth, young adults facing homelessness, family prevention, and survivors of human trafficking. Place of Hope alumni Jessica Mossop shared her powerful testimony from being smuggled into the U.S. at age seven to coming into Place of Hope’s care at age twelve. She suffered abuse and hurt from her biological family but found a safe place to call home on Place of Hope’s Paxson campus. The Mossop family adopted Jessica and helped her rewrite her story into a beautiful masterpiece.

Steve and Heather Atkins were awarded the Harris L. Weinstein Heroes of Hope in honor of their unwavering support for Place of Hope’s mission. “We appreciate the many ways the Atkins have supported our mission of defending the fatherless and their leadership for spreading our reach in the community,” said Bender. The Atkins graciously accepted the award and remarked on their support of Place of Hope.

Funcamps Opens New State of the Art Facility at FAU Funcamps celebrates its 25th anniversary this summer in Boca Raton with more than 7,000 campers that have learned invaluable skills that will last a lifetime. This summer, Funcamps (www. funcamps.com) is opening up in a new state-of-the-art facility at Florida Atlantic University. MagiCamp, Space, Science and Jurassic camp will all be offered at FAU. Parents send their children again and again not just because of the fun experience, but for the relationships and skills campers cultivate each summer.

“MagiCamp has been a part of my life for 12 years, and in addition to having a blast every summer, it’s taught me confidence and how to perform in front of an audience,” said Harrison Melull, an Olympic Heights High graduate and former camper and counselor. “Funcamps has helped teach me responsibility and how to manage kids in addition to learning how to be a magician.”

MagiCamp is actually the impetus of Funcamps, programs which offer a fun February 25 - March 3, 2022

and creative approach to the world of day camps. From Space and Rocket Camp and Amazing Science Camp to JurassicCamp to Camp Idol, Funcamps has a program for everyone. With these specialty programs, founder David Gindy has created a magical journey proven to be a winning formula.

Funcamps will be following all Local, ACA, and University protocols for Covid during the summer. At this time masks are still required while indoors.

“Our goal is to provide our campers with the highest standards of care, personal training, and a well-str uctured curriculum,” said Gindy, of Miami.

Gindy’s Camps will be held in the FAU Student Union’s Conference Center with newly updated rooms and even the use of the new Esports center and sport fields.

Founder Gindy dreamed up a summer camp experience like no other 30 years ago with his first program, MagiCamp. The overall success of MagiCamp has been accomplished by creating a oneof-a-kind magic program for children of

all ages and skill levels (represented by different color wands and wide arrays of tricks).

Children master magic tricks in MagiCamp, which over the 33 years, has expanded to half-a-dozen locations from Miami to Boca Raton.

“We‘re excited this summer to bring the magic once again to our campers,” Gindy said. “Through our Unique MagiCamp program, where the campers not only learn the magic they become the Magic!

To our Amazing Science and Space Camp which brings a fun and exciting approach to learning STEM-related activities. From making slime to, solar panels and motors, or entering our very own Space planetarium and launching rockets that they made the children will delve into the many facets of Science & Space.”

Once campers master the magic, they receive their graduation wand and create a little Hocus Pocus themselves. The best part is that they get to take home the illusions so that they are able to amaze their family and friends. MagiCamp unlocks the secrets of magic and illusion for children of all ages, and -- along their magical journey -- children also build confidence, self-esteem, and hand-eye coordination.

“I run into adults all the time that tell me that the program built their confidence and helped them overcome public speaking and gave them skills that still help them today,” Gindy said. “It’s really

www.bocaratontribune.com

touching to hear.”

Amazing Space and Science Camp: Children (ages 5-13) not only learn about the many facets of science but get to become real life scientists, doing amazing science experiments daily. For those who dream of being an astronaut; children learn about the world on Space, Astronomy and rocketry; have astronaut training, and even build and launch their own rockets with their counselors.

JurassiCamp: A unique experience for future paleontologists; children (ages 5-12) learn about the world of Dinosaurs and even get to be paleontologists themselves participating in fossil digs where they even get to keep the real fossils they discover.

FUNCAMPS is one of the top creators of unique children’s programming in the nation, which has been featured by major networks and publications; including but not limited to: CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, Disney Family, The Miami Herald, Sun-Sentinel, Parenting Magazine, and Family Magazine, and has received numerous national awards and praise.

“Parents choose our programs not only for the uniqueness of the specialty programs but also because they know that the campers will have fun in a safe and secure environment,” Gindy said.

“Our programing is ACA accredited so our staff and camper ratio and the program design are sure to please both our campers and parents.”

FAU Launches Madden Center for Value Creation Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business is establishing the Madden Center for Value Creation, thanks to a $3 million donation from the Bartley J. Madden Foundation.

The center will provide an intellectual foundation to FAU students to motivate and assist them in understanding value creation as a core principle for success in business, and to become value creators themselves. It also will develop and run programs for students to engage in research and other activities, as well as host visiting scholars and conferences.

“With value creation as a guidepost, we are better equipped to transcend the polarization epitomized by capitalism versus socialism or Republican versus Democrat,” said Bartley J. Madden, an independent researcher and author. “In so doing, we can build a more civil society where we seek to build knowledge, to create value for others and to ensure that no one is left behind.”

Madden learned of the research conducted by Siri Terjesen, Ph.D., the College of Business’ associate dean of research and external relations. Together they created a vision for the center, and Terjesen will serve as its executive director.

“Value creation is a fundamental principle for organizations and individuals, and we’re delighted to partner with a leading value creator and philanthropist to build and share this knowledge,” said Terjesen, FAU’s Phil Smith Professor of Entrepreneurship.

The center’s first three visiting scholars

The Bartley J. Madden Foundation, based in Naples, was established in 2015 to support public affairs programs, economics, education, social sciences, human services and community and economic development.

“The College of Business is grateful to Bart Madden for this fantastic gift to build the Madden Center for Value Creation, which will be a world-class center for research, teaching,

arrived in January. Riikka Harikkala-Laihinen, Ph.D., a Fulbright Scholar from Turku University in Finland, is researching value creation among the Finnish-American community in South Florida. Ruth Mateos de Cabo, Ph.D., a professor at Universidad CEU San Pablo, and Ricardo Gimeno, Ph.D., head of market analysis and intelligence at the Bank of Spain and adjunct professor at NYU Spain, are researching corporate governance and value creation.

“We truly appreciate this generous gift from the Bartley J. Madden Foundation,” said FAU President John Kelly. “We take pride in providing world-class educational opportunities for our students, and the Madden Center will equip our future business leaders with the experience and tools for long-term success.”

The Madden Center will be advised by a 13-person board of directors: Susan Beal,

corporate vice president at Blue Yonder; David Buchsbaum, managing director of investment banking at Dawson James; Marianna Davidovich, director of external relations for the Foundation for Economic Education; Amanda Elam, Ph.D., CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and a research fellow at Babson College; Manish Gupta, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon; Jason Kra, president of Li & Fung; Richard Ross, a consultant in the staffing industry; Tsedale Melaku, Ph.D., sociologist and management researcher at CUNY Baruch; Brent Segal, Ph.D., director of collaboration at Lockheed Martin; etiquette coach Candace Smith; Vernon Smith, Ph.D., a Nobel Laureate in economics; Ashley Steinhart, of counsel at Lowenstein Sandler; and Yannick Thams, Ph.D., strategy and corporate governance researcher at FAU’s College of Business.

“With value creation as a guidepost, we are better equipped to transcend the polarization epitomized by capitalism versus socialism or Republican versus Democrat,” and outreach,” said Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Business. “We are particularly honored that Dr. Vernon Smith has agreed to serve on this board, as he is the first Nobel Laureate to have an ongoing affiliation with FAU’s College of Business.”

Two Boca Teens Are Making Sure No Bowl Goes Unfilled Annual Cereal Donation Drive Launching on National Cereal Day Boca Helping Hands (BHH) has received the equivalent of nearly 100,000 bowls of cereal from collection drives conducted by Cereal4All, a nonprofit organization started by 14-year-old twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin, Boca Raton residents who attend Don Estridge Middle School.

Their annual cereal donation drive will launch on March 7 in celebration of National Cereal Day. To participate in the county-wide drive, sign up at Breakfast food is one of the least donated items to food banks across the country. Unfortunately, that means not all families have daily access to breakfast in their homes. Like most kids, Jett and Luke consider cereal to be one of their favorite foods.

“We want to live in a world where every kid and family has daily access to breakfast food in their home,” Luke Justin said.

“We want to be part of the fight against food insecurity.”

Having volunteered at Boca Helping Hands with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive for BHH in 2016 at Calusa Elementary School, when they were just eight years old. The boys have since expanded the program, now called Cereal4All, to more schools in the area, including Florida Atlantic University.

Participating schools thus far for the 2022 cereal drive include Coral Sunset ElCommunity

ementary Schools, J.C. Mitchell Elementary School, Morikami Park Elementary School, and Whispering Pines Elementary School.

Local elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, universities, and businesses are invited to sign up to participate in the county-wide collection drive through midApril by registering at cereal4all.org.

“Cereal is about breakfast, but it’s al-

so about happiness,” Jett Justin said. “We couldn’t stop thinking about the families in our community who couldn’t fill their bowls, and we wanted to do something about it.”

The entire Justin family continues to volunteer at BHH. “It was always important to my wife and me to instill the idea of thinking about others and helping the

community,” said Eric Justin, the twins father. “The boys bonded with Boca Helping Hands and their mission because it speaks to their hearts. We realized that Boca Helping Hands is a hidden jewel in the community.”

In 2019, the twins received six additional pallets of cereal from General Mills after writing to the company for three years.

General Mills still supports Cereal4All and has sent the boys t-shirts to give to students who donate cereal boxes.

In 2021, Cereal4All collected nearly 3,300 pounds of cereal during the annual cereal drive with the help of participating schools and organizations. Participants in last year’s collection include Kindness Matters 365, Verde Elementary School, Sunrise Park Elementary School, Grandview Preparatory School, the Florida Atlantic University Community Service Club, Plastridge Insurance, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School, and Del Prado Elementary School.

Cereal4All continues to grow due to local partnerships with schools and organizations like Kindness Matters 365, an after-school club focused on interactive opportunities for community service and skill-building. Cereal4All is also working with Florida Atlantic University and its Community Service Club to collaborate on another cereal collection drive for the late spring term.

He entered the 2021-22 season with a career collegiate record of 32-22, a dual match record of 21-13 and an SEC record of 7-7. He will come to FAU after building both a singles and doubles resume that saw him climb to a No. 92 national ranking (9/7/21) in singles and No. 47 nationally in doubles (1/13/21).

He has twice earned SEC recognition being named SEC Freshman of the Week (3/11/20) and SEC Co-Newcomer of the Week (2/24/21).

named Spain’s U18 Champion, holding an ITF Junior Ranking of No. 79, and his best ATP Singles Ranking stands at 917.

Colas’ UTR is 12.8.

The Owls will continue their 2022 Conference USA championship quest and will welcome Colas to the courts for the 2022-23 season.

“I am beyond excited to welcome Alberto to our FAU Family,” said Gonzalez.

“I met him for the first time when he was in high school. Not only was I impressed by his tennis game, but mainly him as a person and his character. He fits right in with our team and what we stand for as a program. We really take pride in protecting our culture. Alberto will do big things at FAU and I’m excited to be a small part of his development as a tennis player and as a person. Go Owls!”
