FAU President to Step Down at End of Year FAU President John Kelly will be stepping down at the end of the year. Kelly, who came to FAU in 2014 from Clemson University, will step down at the end of the year but will remain with the university in a different capacity. According to Brad Levine, chair of the FAU Board of Trustees, Kelly will “take an important new role within the university,” but did not elaborate. An interim president will be appointed to guide FAU after Kelly steps down while a national search is conducted to find his replacement, Levine added. “My decision to step aside as Florida Atlantic University president comes at a time that I believe is not only right for me personally, but also right for the university,” Kelly said.

• The Boca Raton-based nonprofit, the American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY), celebrated their high school seniors’ graduation at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth on Thursday. Graduating from public schools all around Palm Beach County, the students packed into the College Conference Center alongside their families for an evening of merriment, awards, dinner, and camaraderie. • Boca Helping Hands (BHH) has appointed Zoe Lanham, Vice President of the Addison, to the Board of Directors to support the nonprofit’s work. Lanham’s impressive background in business and marketing will undoubtedly equip her to contribute significantly to the organization. • Mirtza, a local mother of two daughters, contacted The Inner Truth Project after learning that both of her daughters had been sexually assaulted. Not knowing what to do or how to help her children and the rest of her family, she had a hundred questions and a million emotions she was feeling. Having someone to speak with helped the family deal with a terrible situation that is far more common than most of us realize.

Water conservation and strengthening infrastructure are two key focus areas for many cities in South Florida and Delray Beach is making notable progress on both fronts. On June 7, 2022, theDelray Beach City Commission approved Ordinances to increase water and wastewater rates and to enforce three-day irrigation schedules. “Our duty is to have the foresight to plan for the future needs of our community,” said Mayor Shelly Petrolia. “We have made such progress planning for necessary capital improvement projects such as our new water plant. Our water rates have not increased for 13 years, and the rate increases will help fund that project as well as other operational needs, while keeping the average water bill for a Delray Beach homeowner competitive with homeowners in neighboring cities.” The recommendation to increase the water and sewer rates is the result of an independent rate study conducted by Willdan Financial Services, Inc. The study found that the City’s current water and sewer rates would be insufficient to cover routine operations and maintenance expenses of the system, annual debt service, and other capital-related needs. It was also determined that, under the current water and sewer rates, revenue shortfalls would result in the depletion of cash reserves, so much so that cash reserves would be exhausted by 2026. The average Delray Beach homeowner uses 6,000 gallons of water per month and the combined average monthly water and wastewater bill is $57.85 per month compared to
www.bocaratontribune.com
$81.25 per month, the average monthly bill in surrounding cities. Despite the increases over the next 5 years, the average water bill for a Delray Beach homeowner in 2026 will be $75.66, $5.59 below that of a homeowner in a surrounding city today. To learn more about the City’s water and sewer rates, visit www.delraybeachfl.gov/waterrates. In addition to capital improvements, conserving water is also a focus area for the City. On February 18, 2020, the South Florida Water Management District notified the City of the need to conserve water resources by implementing water conservation measures that would promote efficient water use and decrease water waste. Most lawns in South Florida only need 3/4-inch to 1 inch of water per week to supplement rainfall. “Many households have been voluntarily following the three-day irrigation schedule and now, we are hopeful that many more will follow,” said Hassan Hadjimiry. “Conserving water is a top priority for the District and a top priority for our city.” To avoid fines, Delray Beach residents who use potable water for irrigation, should follow the conservation schedule (odd home addresses water on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and even home addresses water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays). Ordinance 11-22 went into effect on June 15, 2022, however there is a 90-day grace period, that ends September 15, 2022, to comply.

It Only Takes One Dedicated Mentor to Shape a Child’s Future ‘The children are our future.’ We often say those words, but what if a child takes a wrong turn in life, becomes ensnared in crime, drug-addiction or suicide and self-destruction? If children are truly our future, then we adults owe them a helping hand in shaping it. We can do so through mentoring. As a children’s advocate and founder of the KOP Mentoring Network here in Palm Beach County, I believe every young person needs a caring adult mentor to provide encouragement and support to succeed in school and in life. Many of us have the power to truly impact their future by simply showing up as a caring friend and mentor. We have seen the benefits of mentoring in addressing our schools’ graduation rates, which, have been increasing in recent years here in
South Florida and across the nation. In what can only be described as good news, the Palm Beach County School District again has a graduation rate that has outperformed other large school districts in Florida. More public-school students are graduating than ever as the district’s graduation rate rose from 90 percent in 2017 to 91.7 percent in 2018. The improvement is due in part to adult volunteers who have come forward to help poorly performing students stay on track academically. Nationally, one-third of all high schools provide mentors to their students, which amounts to one in 10 high school students, according to an U.S. Department of Education analysis. The study showed “some significant evidence” that suggests programs that provide high school students adult volunteers may help
students stay in school. At KOP Mentoring Network, we see the fruits of mentoring in our Oratorical, STRE2AM2, and Wealth Building and Entrepreneurship programs. Some of our students come from homes that have incarcerated parents or guardians. Without intervention these children are more likely to follow that same path. While our mentors help build student academic skills, the underlying theme for us is making our students see that someone cares enough to be there and expects the best from them. Our mentors are ordinary people who serve as advisers and teachers. They are motivators and role models, who believe in the students we work with. We see the potential and work hard in helping students get to where they want to go. The youngsters participating in the KOP Mon-
itoring Network are less likely to use drugs and alcohol and less likely to skip school. They are more confident in their academic performance, and they are better able to get along with their families. In short, our mentors are making a difference, a real impact in the lives of the youngsters they serve. The children are our future, but to quote another well-known adage about the harvest being plentiful but the laborers are few. There are still far too many of our young people who lack the support and the tools to succeed in school and in life. Despite the best efforts of the many men and women who serve as mentors and the agencies that support them, much more can be accomplished with the help of more dedicated volunteers. It only takes one caring mentor to shape a child’s future.

Drying One Another’s Tears Humans have been fashioned, and put into the world by the creator as social creatures. As such, they are not to live in isolation from one another, but to be mindful of their fellows, in good times and bad. Blessed are those who recognize this truth and fulfill what this reality demands! There’s no question that caution requires that we don’t get involved too easily with anyone, for anything. Yet, there are enough individuals in any society who give enough indications of their reliability and who are also open to the courtesies and genuine love expressed to them, even by strangers! It’s most heart-warming to see reports on television of unique, tragic circumstances through which June 21 - June 30, 2022
an individual or family may undergo, and to contemplate the outpouring of support in manifold ways, from countless persons who sympathize with the plight of another. Several years ago I was attracted to a book on account of its title, “Tear Catchers.” By reading its compelling message I also learned it was the name of an organization, founded by the book’s author to provide a simple, yet most significant service. The key idea was to be ready to befriend others going through sad moments and lending a shoulder to cry, a compassionate ear to listen, and eyes ever alert to the needs of others, because there’s always something one can do to diminish misery, and per-
sonally (not intrusively) get involved in situations where tears can be dried up, and solutions found and provided to varied rough experiences faced by others. I never forgot what impressed me greatly at some point during my childhood, when an organized group of people in the large city where I resided, took upon themselves to scan several of the daily newspapers, looking for families who had undergone some tragedy, or lost a loved one, or who were reported as experiencing some tough situation in life. The amazing result of that communal project, was establishing immediate contact with the needy family, by phone or in person, to inquire from them more fully regarding what
www.bocaratontribune.com
could be done for them in their difficulty. That act itself, through the concern shown, were factors that right away diminished the pain being faced by an individual or family. What started as an experiment in expressing, loving kindness, became an ongoing effort of communal compassion, until conditions improved and the help was no longer needed. Such altruism still has a place in any society, for any city or town, regardless of its size, has countless persons daily shedding tears who will welcome those “tear catchers” or others who can take an interest in their condition and do whatever is within their power. And as you do unto others, it shall also be done unto you at your time of need!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT
By: Rick Boxx
By: Robert Weinroth
Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth - On June 17, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended the annual Realtors Commercial Alliance Leadership Academy at the Realtors Service Center in Palm Beach Gardens. The mayor provided an overview of county operations and current challenges such as affordable and workforce housing. The academy is designed to educate local realtors and enhance their ability and opportunity to conduct business professionally and ethically throughout their careers. - Mayor Weinroth attended the 8th Annual Mayor’s Ball on June 4, 2022, that was sponsored by the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County and held at the Convention Center in West Palm Beach. The mayor had an opportunity to welcome everyone and thank them for their support and continued commitment to such a worthy cause. More than 1,400 people in Palm Beach County do not have a safe, permanent place to call home. The coalition’s mission of raising awareness and motivating a communitywide response is especially important for the many affected by homelessness. Since 2014, the Mayor’s Ball has helped the coalition positively impact nearly 2,100 people, moving them from homelessness into permanent housing. - On June 7, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined fellow commissioners and Palm Tran staff for the 2022 debut of the “Ride with Pride” bus in recognition of Pride Month at the Robert Weisman Palm Beach County Governmental Center in West Palm Beach. When the bus first debuted in 2021, Pinellas County also featured a bus with the progressive pride flag. At the time, it was believed that these buses were the world’s first public buses to feature this flag. The bus is a partnership of Palm Tran and two local LGBTQ organizations – the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council and Compass. - At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on June 7, 2022, Mayor Weinroth presented a proclamation declaring June 17, 2022 as Dump the Pump Day in Palm Beach County. - Mayor Weinroth joined local leaders and volunteers at the Senator Philip D. Lewis Homeless Resource Center to serve dinner to its clients. The event was coordinated by the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, a nonprofit that serves as a catalyst for community collaboration while
also providing gap funding for programs to end homelessness. Homelessness remains a strategic priority for Palm Beach County and its partnering agencies. The county’s most recent point-in-time count identified 1,404 homeless individuals, a 7% decrease compared to 2020. While the overall percentage of homeless decreased, we witnessed doubledigit upticks for seniors, children and families. Since 2020, the county’s Community Services Department and Homeless and Housing Alliance has spent more than $110 million on prevention services. The county currently has four homeless resource facilities in operation and recently broke ground on a second resource center in the Lake Worth Beach. The county is also working with the City of West Palm Beach on seven cottage homes for transitional housing for homeless families. - Mayor Weinroth presented a proclamation recognizing the 70th anniversary of The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research to CEO Sally Berenzweig and Chairwoman Susan Dinter during the organization’s monthly meeting at Boca West Country Club. The Pap Corps is one of the largest all-volunteer fundraising organizations in South Florida, with over 51 chapters and 20,000 members dedicated to supporting research for all types of cancer at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only academic hospital in our community. We pay tribute to these men and women for their tireless efforts and dedication to funding cancer research for the past 70 years!
What Is Holding You Back? Occasionally someone will call to talk with me about struggles in their business that puzzle them. They have a good product, possess skills needed for their business, and feel called to what they are doing, but cannot seem to prosper. They are managing to survive but have found themselves unable to thrive. Because I have been there in my own business experience, I can point them in a direction that might feel uncomfortable, like looking in the mirror. Many businesses have the necessary ingredients for success, but something continues to hold them back. Sometimes it is fear, reluctance to take calculated risks necessary for further growth and development. Other times it is a lack of self-confidence, or listening to the echoes of discouraging, even demeaning words they have heard in the past. Negative self-talk can be a formidable foe in trying to build a business. However, I think it would be safe to say that every person who has ever achieved success – whether as an inventor, innovator, visionary, or leader in any sphere – has had to overcome both fear and memories of past failures. We have the classic examples of the Wright brothers, often ridiculed for their idea that it would be possible for humans to fly, and Thomas Edison, whose success inventing the incandescent bulb came only after failing hundreds of times. If they had listened to their detractors, or lost confidence because of past failures, they would have stopped dead in their tracks. Just as trying to drive a car by staring in the rearview mirror, continually looking backward in life can severely affect our ability to move forward. Jesus Christ was speaking to some of His followers about the importance
www.bocaratontribune.com
of single-minded commitment to following Him. He said, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). It is hard to keep to a straight path if we are constantly looking to see what is behind us. So, how can we turn what we know to be a good product, along with the skills we possess and our passion for what we are doing, into success? I think another passage from the Bible gives us the answer. Romans 12:2 offers this prescription, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” The world around us is very eager to tell us that we cannot succeed, that what we are trying to do is foolish and doomed to failure. We might carry with us memories dating back to our childhood, memories of harsh, meanspirited declarations that convinced us that our hopes and dreams would always be unattainable, forever beyond our reach. Don’t wallow in your past. We need to dispose of such mental “garbage.” And the best way for doing this is to ask God to help in renewing your mind, enabling you instead to line up with how He sees your potential. Focus on what He says about you and what He desires to do, both in you and for you. Writing about many adversities he had to overcome, the apostle Paul stated, “I can do everything through [Christ] who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). He also wrote, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). If you believe the Lord has called you to a particular enterprise or cause, trust Him to provide what you need to succeed.

Boca-based Caregiving Youth Nonprofit Salutes its PBC Graduates The Boca Raton-based nonprofit, the American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY), celebrated their high school seniors’ graduation at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth on Thursday. Graduating from public schools all around Palm Beach County, the students packed into the College Conference Center alongside their families for an evening of merriment, awards, dinner, and camaraderie. This celebration marked a turning point for many, especially those who had spent up to seven years in the Caregiving Youth Project. The AACY is a resource that uplifts middle and high school caregivers. They have the responsibility of caring for chronically ill, injured, disabled, and/or elderly relatives; all the while balancing their education, and often work, as well. AACY Family Specialists are assigned to specific schools to educate and provide their youth with the tools they need to manage life and its stresses as well as keep up with their school assignments. “As caregivers, we oftentimes struggle to know who we are or identify who we are apart from our caregiving role. June 21 - June 30, 2022
We become so used to putting our sick loved ones first that we forget about ourselves,”, says Joyce Adhemar, now a young adult and former AACY participant. It’s an often-overlooked population, but the AACY aims to shine a light on students’ potential. Many of the students have big plans, and AACY emphasizes the importance of aiming high. More than a high school graduation, this event symbolized a new chapter in their Caregiving Youth’s journey. The prospect of balancing caregiving responsibilities with a college career is demanding, but far from impossible. Indeed, the potential for academic excellence is just around the corner, exemplified by Delaney Dalton, 18 who has participated in AACY’s Caregiving Youth Project for seven years, since sixth grade. Delaney was the recipient of the first American Association of Caregiving Youth Scholarship awarded through the George Snow Scholarship Fund on Saturday, June 11. The George Snow Scholarship Fund celebrated its 40th anniversary of advocating for deserving scholars in the Palm Beach and Broward counties. www.bocaratontribune.com

Tips to Sleep Train Your Child (StatePoint) As many parents know, getting a little one to sleep through the night can be challenging and frustrating. The good news is there are steps you can take to help your child -- and the rest of the family for that matter -- get much needed sleep. Here’s what to know: • When to start: There is no one-sizefits-all approach to sleep training and no wrong time to start. However, it’s easier to break habits that haven’t become ingrained, so starting around the 5-month mark is a good idea. By this age, you’ve likely identified your child’s patterns. This knowledge can help you create a routine that works. • Sleep environment: Just like how most adults sleep best in a dark, quiet and cool room, so do babies and toddlers. Whether it’s nap time or nighttime, foster better shuteye by setting up the right sleep environment. Use blinds or curtains to keep out sunlight and avoid making excessive noise. For example, right after putting your child down may not be the best time to vacuum the entire house. Instead, use this time to complete paperwork, practice self-care and do other quiet activities that won’t disrupt your child’s sleep.
• Consistency: Consistency is key. Set nap times and bedtimes that work for your family and then honor that schedule. • Turning to tech: If you’re struggling to sleep train your toddler, new technol-
ogy is here to help. The new VTech Sleep Training Soother is inspired by WeeSleep experts and combines light, sounds and tips to encourage healthy sleep habits. You can craft the ideal sleep environment using its colorful nightlight, glow-on-the-ceiling projector, temperature gauge and powerful Bluetooth Speaker, from which you can play over 200 pre-programmed stories, classical music, lullabies and natural sounds, or stream your favorite smartphone music service. You can also record and upload your own voice, songs, or stories using the subscription-free app. And because it has a rechargeable battery, you can even use the device when power isn’t available.
“People of all ages thrive when they have a consistent routine and healthy restful sleep,” says Janey Reilly, CEO and founder of WeeSleep, a global sleep consultant service. “We are providing tools within the soother app to help parents create a sound sleep environment and to manage proper sleep schedules and habits.” The sleep trainer also includes a free 15-minute phone consultation with a WeeSleep coach, which you can use to gain insights and tips for tackling the unique challenges you’re facing. • Expectations: Having realistic expectations about sleep training can help you avoid letting the process itself create additional fatigue or stress. If sleep time isn’t a breeze like you hoped, be compassionate with yourself and remind yourself that when it comes to dealing with sleep issues, you are not alone. Sufficient sleep can help families stay happy and healthy. Using new tech, along with tried-and-true methods and strategies that work for children, you can sleep train your child effectively and positively so that everyone in your household gets the rest they deserve.
Honoring the Military Service of Native Americans (StatePoint) Washington, D.C. is a city filled with monuments and memorials celebrating those whose life’s work was in service to the nation. Some of the most visited memorials in the city honor veterans and the sacrifices they have made in service to the United States. A full weekend of events honoring Native veterans who have served the nation in the U.S. Armed Forces will be taking place soon and event organizers encourage those who wish to participate to make their plans now. The focal point of these events occurs on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, when the National Museum of the American Indian dedicates a new memorial -- the National Native American Veterans Memorial. The memorial, which sits on the grounds of the museum within sight of the U.S. Capitol Building, was commissioned by Congress to give “all Americans the opportunity to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in the Armed Forces of the United States.” Native Americans have served in every major military conflict in the United States since the Revolutionary War. This is the first national landmark in Washington, D.C. to focus on the contributions of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the military. Plus
Designed by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma), a multimedia artist, retired forensic artist and Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, the memorial features an elevated stainless steel circle resting on a carved stone drum. It also incorporates water for sacred ceremonies, benches for gatherings and four lances where veterans, family members, tribal leaders and others can tie cloths for prayers and healing.
“The dedication of this memorial is an opportunity to gather and reflect on the extraordinary service and sacrifice of Native veterans and their families,” said Cynthia Chavez Lamar (San Felipe Pueblo, Hopi, Tewa and Navajo), the museum’s director. “I hope everyone will join us for this momentous occasion, so together we can offer them our thanks for their contributions to our country.”
www.bocaratontribune.com
The dedication ceremony will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. as part of a three-day event (Nov. 11– 13) to honor Native veterans. It begins with a Native veterans procession followed by the dedication ceremony. Native veterans who would like to participate in the procession can register to participate now via the museum’s website. Following the ceremony, visitors will be able to visit the memorial and the museum, which will remain open until 8 p.m. on Nov. 11. The dedication ceremony will also be livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person. Throughout the weekend, the museum will host special programming in honor of the dedication of the memorial, including hand-on activities, films, performances and a veterans hospitality suite. Visitors can also explore the exhibition “Why We Serve: Native Americans in the United States Armed Forces,” which tells personal stories of Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Alaska Native veterans who have served in the U.S. armed forces for more than 250 years, and brings long overdue recognition to their contributions. More information about the dedication of the National Native American Veterans Memorial can be found by visiting americanindian.si.edu. June 21 - June 30, 2022

Mirtza, a local mother of two daughters, contacted The Inner Truth Project after learning that both of her daughters had been sexually assaulted. Not knowing what to do or how to help her children and the rest of her family, she had a hundred questions and a million emotions she was feeling. Having someone to speak with helped the family deal with a terrible situation that is far more common than most of us realize. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 81 percent of all women and 43 percent of men report experiencing some kind of sexual trauma in their lifetimes. Sadly, most of those incidents of trauma remain unreported and often cause years of pain and suffering for the victims, whether it is mental or physical pain. By incorporating various therapeutic approaches, The Inner Truth Project, a nonprofit organization which serves St. Lucie, Indian River, and Martin Counties, has been able to help around 5,000 Treasure Coast residents each year. The June Dyer Difference will help support The Inner Truth Project’s WILD Outdoors Women – a special program of learning and discovering held in the great outdoors that will help to fund expanded youth therapy programs at The Inner Truth Project. The Treasure Coast Board Riders Club out of Indian River County is part of the Florida Board Riders Association whose

mission is to share the joy of surfing with local communities through lessons, caring for the ocean through beach cleanups, opportunities to share ocean safety education, and host and participate in statewide competitions, gatherings, and video nights. Nearly 1,000 individuals are served each year through the organization, and the June Dyer Difference Award will help the Treasure Coast Board Riders Club purchase a new Live Judging Platform and Electronic Judging devices to help improve the quality of the organization’s events and increase the benefits they bring to the community. The Dyer Difference Award is all about celebrating the beauty and kindness in our midst.

The researchers noted that if states are alike in every important respect except for attorney discipline, it is likely that ethically challenged attorneys will choose to practice in the more lenient area. What’s more, firms that generate big profits from unethical practices such as racketeering, extreme pollution and predatory lending are more likely to do business in states where there are more attorneys to defend them and who are willing to depart from the norms governing the legal profession. “Attorneys are officers of the court,” according to the study. “If citizens cannot trust the people that make and enforce the laws, it is more difficult for any society to function effectively.”

FAU President to Step Down at End of Year
FAU President John Kelly will be stepping down at the end of the year. Kelly, who came to FAU in 2014 from Clemson University, will step down at the end of the year but will remain with the university in a different capacity. According to Brad Levine, chair of the FAU Board of Trustees, Kelly will “take an important new role within the university,” but did not elaborate. An interim president will be appointed to guide FAU after Kelly steps down while a national search is conducted to find his replacement, Levine added.
“My decision to step aside as Florida Atlantic University president comes at a time that I believe is not only right for me personally, but also right for the university,” Kelly said in a statement released by FAU. “My new role as university president emeritus will afford me the time and flexibility to complete certain projects that are important to me personally and are important to the Board of Trustees. I firmly believe this will be of great benefit to the university as we drive FAU forward. My time as president has been wonderful, and I am looking forward to this exciting new chapter.”
B’nai Torah Congregation 2022 “Music for Humanity” Concert Series Raises $25K for Ukraine B’nai Torah Congregation, the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida, celebrated the 29th year of the synagogue’s popular and inspiring Concert Series by dedicating it to the humanitarian needs of the people of Ukraine. In collaboration with the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, B’nai Torah Congregation donated $20,000 to United Hatzalah’s Ukrainian relief efforts and an additional $5,000 to support Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County’s efforts in Ukraine. The 2022 Concert Series, dubbed “Music for Humanity,” featured four live, in-person performances – all hosted at B’nai Torah Congregation’s sanctuary in Boca Raton – which included singers, songwriters, poets, pianists, and Cantors from around the world. Featured performers were: Noa, Gil Dor, Cantor Boaz Davidoff, Guy Mintus ‘Piano Virtuoso,’ The New York Cantors, and B’nai Torah Congregation’s own Can-
tor Magda Fishman. The series was presented in loving memory of Eleanor and Paul Weiner. Cantor Fishman selected the concert performers in addition to performing during two of the four events. Cantor Fishman has performed extensively in Israel, the United States, Europe and Canada and her musical repertoire includes liturgical masterpieces, Israeli songs, jazz, musical theater and her own compositions. “ I a m o ve r whelmed with gratitude and joy that we were able to bring this extraordinary musical program to our community – live from our sanctuary – once again,” said Cantor Fishman. “Even more special was the fact that we were able to celebrate the people of Ukraine and raise money for them in the process. Music is truly powerful in how it can bring people together and provide comfort and joy during challenging times. I thank all who were a part of it.”

Fuller Center Students Receive Three School Buses for Year-Round Transportation to After-Care, Field Trips, and Swim Lessons Students of the Fuller Center, a not-for-profit organization focused on empowering children and families through education and family support, welcomed three 65-passenger school buses from Pine Crest School on June 9. The buses were donated at a critical time, as two of the Fuller Center’s five buses are currently inoperable, and a third is on the verge of disrepair. The three school buses were driven onto the Fuller Center’s West Campus for the first time to the cheers of 150 Fuller Center students waving “thank you” banners. The buses will allow Fuller Center staff to pick

up children from approximately 12 local elementary schools after dismissal and transport them to the Center for after-care. The buses will also provide 350 children with the ability to participate in field trips and swimming lessons during the summer and school year. Mr. David Clark, Head of Pine Crest’s Boca Raton campus and Chair of Fuller Center’s Programs Committee, and Mr. Joseph Markham, Pine Crest Vice President of Security and Support Services and Crisis Management Director, arranged the bus donation. One of the Fuller Center’s buses is totally unusable, as a critical part cannot be obtained due to a supply shortage. A second bus has no air conditioning and is in such disrepair that the mechanic does not recommend fixing it. Finally, “Old Faithful,” the third bus, is on its last leg, making travel unsafe for the kids. For more information about the Fuller Center and ways to support its children, faculty, and staff, please email Mary Coleman, Director of Communications & Marketing, mcoleman@fullercenterfl.org.

FAU Receives 2022 Innovation Award Florida Atlantic University has received the 2022 Innovation Award from Encoura Eduventures of Research. The Innovation Awards program was created to recognize and showcase the achievements of individuals and organizations that share Encoura’s vision for innovating to improve outcomes that support critical areas of an institution. “ We b e l i e v e thoughtful innovation can change the world and that is why we created this awards program, showcasing the best of higher education,” said Cara Quackenbush, Eduventures senior vice president of research, Encoura. “For the sixth year, our winners have sought to address the unprecedented challenges facing our sector by creating new, actionable, and innovative initiatives that support a more equitable and inclusive opportunity for all students. We congratulate all of our 2022 winners.” Now in its sixth year, the Eduventures Innovation Awards program honors organizations and teams that are shaping the future of Higher Education. Entries are submitted in three categories and are designed to identify higher education institutions that have demonstrated significant innovations

when developing and deploying programs that impact these areas of an institution: Enrollment: A new enrollment management strategy in a fast-changing environment Student Experience: A new approach to teaching and learning or student support Outcomes: A new effort to define and report student outcomes FAU was awarded for its novel approach of using “team-based analytics” to break down organizational barriers so that students can progress toward timely completion of their degree programs. The initiative established crossfunctional teams that launch and assess interventions to boost student outcomes, and the university created dashboards to visualize trends and leveraged predictive analytics. Using enhanced analytical tools, FAU streamlined cumbersome academic policies, launched more flexible curricula, and provided targeted financial assistance. By ensuring that actionable data made it directly into the hands of those who could make a difference for students, FAU overcame the obstacle of silos forming in terms of competing unit priorities and goals, as well as decentralized data centers.

Fifth Annual Women Changing the Game Event Presented by FPL Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX with top female executives in Palm Beach County, the fifth annual RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl’s Women Changing the Game event presented by FPL at the Hilton West Palm Beach drew an intimate group of women in business, sports and community leaders for a night filled with women-empowering experiences, great networking, food and drink, pop-up shops, gifting and more. A traditional high point of the annual event is its panel discussion of executive women sharing their career experiences and advice for attendees. This year the Title IXthemed panel discussion moderated by Keli Ferguson, the Emmy Award-Winning Sports and Anchor ESPN 106.3 on WPTV and FOX 29, featured accomplished South Florida women executives who have either played or worked in collegiate athletics and in some way have been impacted by Title IX. The rule established in 1972 with just 37 words is what helped level the playing field that women athletes and their coaches thrive on to this day. A special welcome video from Sarah Colby Spain, an American sports reporter who works as an espnW.com columnist, ESPN Radio host, ESPN television personality and occasional ESPN SportsCenter reporter, kicked off the inspiring panel discussion including four South Florida executives: Pam Rauch, Vice President of External Affairs and Economic Development for Florida Power & Light Company who competed as a member of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill women’s tennis team.
Staci Wilson, Olympic Gold Medalist and Pine School Boys Soccer Head Coach who competed as a member the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and in the U.S. Olympics for women’s soccer. Kate Arrizza, President & CEO of Cox Science Center and Aquarium who was an allstate swimmer in high school and recruited
ly served as Senior Associate Athletics Director and Title IX Deputy Coordinator. She is the first minority to serve in her current role and is the third athletic director during PBA’s NCAA era. “Women Changing the Game has become a highlight on our annual Bowl calendar, and I am gratified by its popularity, growth
to swim for the United States Naval Academy team. After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree from the Naval Academy, she served as an Officer in the U.S. Navy for seven years. Kate still regularly competes in open water marathon swims, ranging between 10K and 20K in distance and in training for the 12.5-mile swim for the 8th time around the island of Key West. Fifth Annual Women Changing the Game Event Presented by FPL Kicked Off Countdown/2/2/2/2 Courtney Lovely, Director of Athletics at Palm Beach Atlantic University who former-
and stature,” shared RoofClaim Boca Raton Bowl Executive Director Doug Mosley. “This year we changed our approach a bit and for a good reason, as this was the first time this traditionally women-only event invited men to attend because we felt that celebrating 50 years of Title IX called for a broader audience.” Sponsors for Women Changing the Game included presenting sponsor FPL, Brightline, Hilton West Palm Beach, Trustbridge, PNC Bank, Deep Eddy Vodka and the Gardens Mall. Guests enjoyed a variety of pop-up shops from the Gardens Mall includ-
ing Kendra Scott, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Peloton, Josephine Alexander Collective and Aveda; as well as VIP Gifting Bags and a chance to win a $500 gift certificate for shopping at the Gardens Mall and a one-year Cooper Hawk membership. Women Change the Game was one of several countdown events to the 2022 RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl that will kick off the Tuesday evening before Christmas, December 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET at FAU Stadium and will air live nationally on ESPN as well on ESPN Radio and locally on ESPN 106.3 FM. Conference affiliations for this year’s matchup include the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference and selected independents. The RoofClaim.com Boca Raton is a celebrated annual holiday tradition in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County that lives up to its other name “Boca’s Biggest Annual Outdoor Party.” It’s, also, the only collegiate Bowl game in Palm Beach County featuring all of the pomp and circumstance of a traditional bowl event.

Schanuel Named to Second Team All-Region The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) in association with Rawlings Sporting Goods announced the 2022 All-Region teams on Wednesday. For the second consecutive year, Florida Atlantic University sophomore Nolan Schanuel earned a place on the Southeast Region Second Team. The teams are voted on by members of the ABCA and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. I All-America Committee. After being named as a Preseason AllAmerican in January, Schanuel led the Owls with a .369 average, 83 hits, and a .477 onbase percentage. He launched 16 home runs and collected 56 RBI. In two full seasons now at FAU, the Boynton Beach native has started 113 consecutive games at first base. He’s racked up
151 hits and 112 RBI. Schanuel has also been a rock defensively with just seven errors in his career in over 900 chances. The ABCA, founded in 1945, is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. Its over 13,000 members represent all 50 states and 23 countries. Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include eight divisions: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School and Youth.
Clark Named PBA Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach Palm Beach Atlantic men’s basketball head coach Cole Rose has announced the hiring of AJ Clark as an assistant coach for the Sailfish. “We are incredibly excited to announce the addition of AJ Clark coach Rose said. “His work ethic has earned him the reputation as one of the top young coaches in the country, and he will immediately make a big-time impact in the development of our student-athletes, not only as players but also as people. He brings a wealth of successful experience at the Division II level both as a player and a coach that will greatly influence our program in every facet. AJ’s passion, energy, and mission to serve through the game of basketball make him a great fit here at PBA.” Clark joins the Sailfish bench after two seasons as the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Georgia Southwestern State. During his tenure with the Hurricanes, GSW led the Peach Belt Conference in forced turnovers. The Hurricanes were the only team in the nation to finish in the top five in both steals and blocks per game during the squad’s NCAA tournament berth in the 2020-21 season. Clark also served as the head cross country coach for GSW. “First and foremost, I would like to thank Director of Athletics Courtney Lovely Evans and Head Coach, Cole Rose for granting me an opportunity to work at this great institution,” Clark said. “I am super thrilled and grateful for this next chapter of my professional career here at Palm Beach Atlantic. Servant Leadership has always been at the top of my priority list, and I feel that my calling is here. I am grateful for this opportunity to serve this institution, community, and these young Sports
men on the Sailfish Men’s Basketball team. I am ready to work!” Prior to his time at Georgia Southwestern, Clark spent a season as an assistant at Young Harris where he focused on player development, specifically working with the team’s guards. He helped develop an all-conference guard who led the country in assists per game and finished seventh in the country in steals per game. As the offensive coordinator, Clark helped the Mountain Lions lead the Peach Belt Conference in scoring (87.5 ppg) and 3-pointers made per game (11.6). Over the last three years, Clark has developed and recruited five all-conference performers and five student-athletes who went on to sign professionally overseas. Before working with the Mountain Lions, Clark spent two years at Groundwork Player Development as the Director of Basketball Operations while founding the organization’s travel ball program. He developed players that went on to play professionally in Australia, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Estonia, and Africa. As a player, Clark attended Pfeiffer University where he was a four-year team captain, three-year team MVP, and thirdteam All-American. He helped lead the Falcons to a regular-season Conference Carolinas championship, NCAA tournament appearance, and a top-25 ranking in the NABC. As a senior, Clark averaged over 20 points, three assists, two rebounds, and a steal per game. He graduated from Pfeiffer with a bachelor’s degree in sport management in 2016. Clark joins a Sailfish team who played its first season under Cole Rose in 202122. PBA has made the Sunshine State Conference tournament every season since being eligible in 2016-17.
