PBSC ranks again among the top 100 for Hispanic students

Boca Helping Hands Unveiled the Sun Capital Annex and Celebrated $1M in Lifetime Support from the Sun Capital Partners Foundation

Boca Helping Hands (BHH) unveiled the Sun Capital Annex, a warehouse re sponsible for feeding tens of thousands of individuals throughout the region, on October 13. The facility is located at 1500 N.W. 1st Court, Boca Raton. The event rec ognized $1 million in lifetime support from the Sun Capital Partners Foundation, whose support has been critical to BHH’s devel opment over the past decade. The Founda tion’s most recent $100,000 matching gift brought them to the $1 million milestone.

“We want to honor the Sun Capital Partners Foundation’s generous contri butions to Boca Helping Hands, and also shed light on the considerable impact their support has had on our organization,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands.

Palm Beach State College remains ranked among the top 100 Colleges and Universities for Hispanic students, accord ing to an annual list published by Hispanic Outlook magazine.

PBSC ranks 34th for the total associate degrees granted and 48th for total enroll ment among four-year schools.

The Top 100 Colleges and Uni versities for Hispan ics rankings, pub lished in Hispanic Outlook Oct. 11, is based on 20202021 U.S. Depart ment of Education data from surveys.

“PBSC is very proud of our rank ings. As a Hispan ic Serving Insti tution, we are not only committed to recruiting but sup porting our stu dents to complete their program of study and secure high-paying jobs,’’ said Dr. Peter Barbatis, vice president of student services and enrollment manage ment. “Many of our Latino students are not only first-generation college students, but

first-generation Americans. A postsecond ary education credential is critical to propel them to economic security and prosperity.”

PBSC’s latest data indicates that His panics are the largest student population at the College and remain among the fastest growing. In 2014, the U.S. Department of Education designated PBSC as a HispanicServing Institution.

To qualify for the Developing His panic-Serving Insti tutions Program, PBSC’s enrollment had to reach at least 25% Hispanic in the year prior to apply ing for the designa tion. PBSC reached the required thresh old in 2013. Hispan ics now make up 34% of the student population.

The HSI des ignation allows PB SC to pursue feder al grants to expand educational oppor tunities and im prove academic attainment for Hispanic students. The College has received two Ti tle V grants, including one for $3 million awarded in 2020.

Sun Capital’s support over the last de cade includes helping BHH to purchase a new refrigerated truck for food recov ery, hosting food drives, volunteering, and matching end-of-year campaign donations to help BHH raise critical operating funds during the pandemic. They have also pro vided additional support through match ing employee contributions and purchasing tickets to events. The Sun Capital Charity Committee, which makes each year’s fund ing decisions, consists of engaged em ployees who volunteer to serve each year to benefit their community with available Foundation funds.

“Since the Sun Capital Partners Foun dation was founded in 2007, we have sup ported more than 700 charities, focusing on innovative nonprofits that have a strong culture of social engagement and provide a direct, positive impact, both globally and in

PBSC gears up to host U.S. Senate race debate Communications Professor Explains Importance of Silence

Palm Beach State College is gearing up to host the Decision 2022: Before You Vote U.S. Senate debate on Tuesday, Oct. 18, between incumbent U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Rep. Val Demings.

The debate, expected to draw na tional interest, is being organized by a coalition of nonprofit, nonpartisan or ganizations as part of the longest run ning televised debate series in Florida’s modern history. It will be held in the Duncan Theatre on the Lake Worth campus from 7-8 p.m. and broadcast live on WPBF 25 News, the local ABC affiliate and debate production partner, as well as nine other ABC, NBC and CBS affiliate stations throughout Flor ida. Channel 25’s evening news anchor Todd McDermott will moderate the de bate. It will simulcast on statewide pub lic radio, on participating TV stations’ websites and/or Facebook pages, and on daily newspaper websites and/or Face book pages, with a national rebroadcast expected on C-SPAN after the debate program airs. Alongi Media is the exec utive producer.

“It is an honor to be the host site for this important debate,’’ said Ava L. Parker, J.D., PBSC president. “It is not only an amazing edu cational opportunity for our students, fac ulty and staff, but it al so will greatly benefit voters throughout the state. I’m most excit ed about the experi ences and knowledge our students will gain from witnessing this event.”

To prepare for the debate, PBSC will hold all classes and non-essential oper ations remotely that day. It is a ticket ed event for debate partners and their guests with seats also reserved for key College and community leaders, PB SC students from political science and American government classes, the Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College and cam pus organizations, including the Student Government Association and Phi Theta

Kappa, and some faculty.

The debate is the only one between Rubio and Demings before the Nov. 8 general election in the widely watched race. The U.S. Senate seat in Florida is among others up for election in 34 states. To allow more students to participate in the debate activities, the College also is hosting a student watch party from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Public Safety Training Cen ter on the Lake Worth campus. Students must register to attend via PBSC’s events calendar and seats are limited. The watch party will include free food provided by Ricky Wade, owner of McDonald’s fran chises, who also serves as chair of The Foundation for Palm Beach State Col lege board.

Among those who plan to attend in person is Lorena Martin Reyes, PBSC’s student trustee and an international stu dent from Spain who plans to pursue a career in finance and international busi ness. She said she is excited about the opportunity to learn more about politics.

“I look forward to hearing about ideas and solutions for helping make education accessible for everyone and making housing more affordable,” Mar tin Reyes said. “It’s a powerful thing to know that what you are doing or that your beliefs can be repre sented by someone.”

Deborah ArochoMaisonet, president of the Lake Worth cam pus Student Govern ment Association who is pursuing an Associ ate in Arts degree, said she also will attend the debate in person and hopes the candi dates will discuss prison reform.

“I think it’s an honor to be able to go to a live event like this,’’ she said.

The debate partners/sponsors are: The James Madison Institute, AARP Florida, Florida Trend, the LeRoy Col lins Institute, the Florida Press Associ ation, and the Florida League of Cit ies, Florida Everglades Foundation and Florida Realtors.

Much of Dr. Stephanie Bennett’s career has centered around talking, yet “there is a gift to silence,” she said.

In a Sept. 22 forum at the Warren Library, Bennett, professor of commu nication and media ecology, discussed her recently published book, “Silence, Civility, and Sanity: Hope for Humani ty in a Digital Age.” Though not a tech nophobe, she took issue with how peo ple today use tech nology to commu nicate with others.

Social media platforms share speech easily, quick ly, but often harm fully, she noted. “Speech was made to lift people up, not belittle them,” and just because one has the ability to speak one’s mind, does not always mean it should be used, she said.

“Speech can only take us so far,” Bennett said. “We all want our voices to be heard, but just speaking louder is not going to cut it.” Instead, she suggested silence as a helpful tool in communicat ing. Pausing in silence, listening to oth ers and to God, she said, helps us follow Christ’s call “not just to be neighbors but to know our neighbors.”

Some people view silence as a sign

of weakness, she said, and they don’t know how to be silent in a healthy way. They may become extreme introverts or extreme extroverts. Typically when this occurs, she said, the introverts look down on the extroverts, and vice versa. They miss “the deeper level: our com monality of being made in the image of God.”

Prayerful silence, Bennett said, can al low extroverts and introverts alike to examine their own hearts, learning to hear and appreciate those who are differ ent. And Christians must remember that the Good News “does not sound like good news when it is not being received.”

Bennett is director of Wordship, PBA’s initiative to promote healthy, heal ing conversation, in the spoken word and written word as well. She shared her thoughts in the library forum with the help of Dr. Terriel Byrd, professor of urban Christian ministry. Some 60 stu dents, faculty and staff gathered for the discussion.

Bennett’s new book is published by Lexington Books, a division of Rowman and Littlefield.

“Speech can only take us so far,”

Bennett said.“We all want our voices to be heard, but just speaking louder is not going to cut it.”

“It is an honor to be the host site for this important debate,’’ said Ava L. Parker, J.D., PBSC president.

Susan Slade Whelchel: a Valued, Trusted Leader who Fought for the Residents

Susan Slade Whelchel, the citizen mayor who died recently at age 77, will best be remembered as a tireless public servant who volunteered thousands of hours with a laundry list of civic organizations.

The 30-year educator turned politician was a fierce advocate for all the residents of her beloved city. It is an understatement to say that civic commitment was at the heart of her political life and much of her personal one.

She became more immersed in community service nearing the twilight of her career by volunteering with nonprofits and other organizations.

The longtime volunteer with the Junior League of Boca Raton was honored as the organization’s 2016 Woman Volunteer of the year.

She is credited as being one of the 14 founding members of the Spirit of Giving Network, a nonprofit that partners with more than 90 nonprofits and focuses on children and families in South Palm Beach County.

In 1998, during a break at a city meeting, she pulled me aside and told me about the newly founded Spirit of

Giving. She knew I was founder of the then Knights of Pythagoras Mentoring Network, which held an annual back to school giveaway event. She used words like “better together” as she explained the power of collaborating “to reach and touch more” in a manner, which I could not say no.

Shortly after, the then executive director of the organization and I met, and we collaborated and brought the Back-to-School Bash to the Boys and Girls Club in Delray Beach.

In politics, Mayor Whelchel was tough, determined, and unrelenting in what she believed was best for Boca Raton.

Not one to mince her words, she was candid and at times colorful. Whenever she disagreed with my reporting, she would either call me or pull me aside in City Hall and share her disappointment, almost like an elementary teacher would.

Matching Mayor Whelchel’s intensity was her compassion for all, especially for those who were vulnerable. She made it her quest to make Boca Raton a world class community.

In her early campaign for office, she pledged to improve the quality of the city’s schools and make higher education more attractive. (She served four years as a board member on Florida Atlantic University Research Park after she retired from politics).

She wanted to make sure Boca Raton kids would return home after completing college and university. She worked hard to establish the Don Estridge Middle School, a high-tech choice public school on land once occupied by IBM off Spanish River Boulevard.

Lindy Harvey, executive director of the Spirit of Giving, had reservations about sending her children to Boca Raton High until Mayor Whelchel, who was then on the school board, assured her that everything would be fine.

“She said, ‘I can’t tell you why, but I promised you it’s going to be ok,’” recalled Harvey, who enrolled all her children in the school. They previously attended private school. “All three of my children attended Boca High all because she told me it is going to be ok.”

After capping a 30-year teaching career, she entered politics in 1995 when

POSITIVE LIVING

Dr. Synesio Lyra

she was elected to the Boca Raton City Council. She easily was re-elected twice and was term-limited from running again. However, she continued public service when former Gov. Jeb Bush appointed her to a two-year term on the Palm Beach County School Board.

Mayor Whelchel returned to the City Council, serving two more terms before her election as mayor in 2008, a position she held until she retired in 2014. Still her work did not end after retirement. She was instrumental, the following year, in Boca Raton being named the 11th best city in the country.

To her credit, she is responsible for creating thousands of jobs by enticing Office Depot, ADT Security Services, Lord & Taylor and other companies to the area.

Her legacy extends beyond the city of Boca Raton since she affected many lives through her years of teaching and serving on the School Board.

“She was so committed to this community and did everything she could to make it” a first-class community, Harvey added.

Farewell Mayor. Job Well Done!

Let Joy Characterize Your Days!

One of the greatest curses affecting contemporary society is boredom. In spite of new technologies intended to simplify life, and gadgets which can literally bring the entire world to anyone by a touch from the fingertips, and so much more, several people still complain about being bored.

Even youth, stemming from the financial upper crust of society, often go into shoplifting and committing more serious crimes, “just for the thrill of it” as several of them have personally testified.

Sadly, there are also mature citizens who do not know what to do meaningfully with their free moments. They may fulfil their weekly “obligations” for earning a living, going to church, and socializing with family, friends, and neighbors. Yet, there is exactly where their excitement also ends, even if they could also enjoy good literature, besides engaging in a few other random, meaningful activities.

After all, people are so wired that each new day can be lived with a sense of excitement and the experience of true joy.

Whether residing singly or in families, each citizen of earth may ascertain in advance the preferred ways of planning each day with sufficient time for personal growth and for meaningful service directed toward others.

It is only when one thinks of somebody else more than one’s self that varied new opportunities often emerge to impact one’s neighbour positively, even through relatively simple acts of good will and kindness.

If you truly desire to make each new day meaningfully busy and exciting, start thinking of others and of what you can do for them. It may

be sending a letter or a note to cheer someone up, offering to take an elderly person to an appointment, making some phone calls to shut-ins, or those in convalescence, being an ever-present friend to many.

Humans are daily surrounded with manifold opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of countless persons. Ultimately, there is no greater joy than to contribute to mending lives, and providing healing to specific individuals who need it! When this attitude prevails in your heart, I can guarantee that much joy shall characterize your days!

FAITH Rick Boxx

Shining Like Stars in the Marketplace

A question I often hear when speaking about faith in the workplace comes from people who are not CEOs, those who are not the top decision-making executives in their companies. Many of them can readily understand how a CEO can affect change within an organization, but those who are not CEOs doubt their own ability to bring about change where they work, especially in terms of faith and spiritually based values.

This kind of thinking, while understandable, is unfortunate because it can undermine the potential for genuine, positive change. From my own experience, and in consulting with people in many kinds of businesses and organizations, I have discovered there are unlimited opportunities of all people to make a difference.

A question that naturally arises from such a statement is, “How can we make that difference?” I think the best place to start is by considering two similar passages from the Scriptures, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. Both talk about people of faith “shining like stars” in their surroundings.

In the prophetic book of Daniel, it tells about “a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.” But then it declares, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever” (Daniel 12:1-3).

The other passage, the second chapter of Philippians, reminds us, “it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” Clearly, it states wherever we go and whatever we do – even in the workplace – God can use us to accomplish His plans. Then we are instructed, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless

and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky” (Philippians 2:13-15).

We live and work in turbulent times; at times things seem dark and disheartening. “Where is God in this?” we might wonder. It is at times like these, however, that we have the opportunity to do as the Scriptures say, to “shine like stars in the sky” to illuminate the oppressive darkness.

Think of it this way: In a large, well-lit room, a lightbulb of low wattage or a candle seems to make very little difference in how bright the area appears. However, when the lights are turned off and all other sources of illumination have been eliminated, that small lightbulb or candle suddenly seems to shine brightly, drawing us to it. In a similar way, if we find ourselves working in spiritually dark environments, we can ask God to provide ways where we can “shine like stars” and make a difference far beyond anything we could imagine.

Author C.S. Lewis wrote, “I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” That is a profound statement, and we should pray as ambassadors for Jesus Christ in the marketplace, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:20, that as others observe our lives and hear us tell about what we believe and why, that they also will be able to see Him.

It is important to remember that God’s ways are unconventional. When we embrace His ways, and model them in the places where we work, our actions stand out to others. As the Lord works in us and through us, often in unexpected ways, they will see a difference. Over time, He will give us the opportunity to reveal Jesus Christ, “the light of the world” (John 9:5) to those around us.

Expert Orthopedic Care Close to Home Isn’t Just for Athletes

If you’re suffering from an orthopedic problem — whether it’s a bad back, a sore knee or shoulder, a sports injury or arthritis — even a short drive can make the pain worse. Thanks to two convenient Baptist Health Orthopedic Care locations in Palm Beach County, you have easy access to the experts who have the experience, technology and facilities to treat your problem quickly.

“Seeing a professional sooner rather than later can often prevent more complex problems down the road,” says orthopedic surgeon Anthony Miniaci, M.D., deputy chief medical executive of Baptist Health Orthopedic Care. “Most orthopedic issues don’t require surgery, but whether yours does or doesn’t, it’s our goal to get you back to a pain-free lifestyle.”

The team at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care includes orthopedic surgeons specialized in joint replacement, foot and ankle, trauma and sports medicine, primary care sports medicine physicians and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. With a wide range of expertise, the team can handle everything from the most common injuries to the most complex.

With increasing life expectancy, an accident or injury resulting in an orthopedic problem is almost inevitable at some point. Among the most common orthopedic concerns are sprains and strains, muscle and tendon

tears, fractures and other traumatic injuries, and arthritis. In addition, back pain causes more visits to physicians than any other orthopedic problem. Some conditions are caused by repetitive motion and wear and tear on the body, while others could be the result of a congenital, or birth problem.

With the most advanced imaging and other diagnostic tests, doctors at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care can quickly pinpoint the issue and address it. Nonsurgical and minimally invasive options are explored first, but when surgery is indicated, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan. Services also include regenerative medicine, such as stem cell treatment, pain-relieving injections and physical therapy.

“We have a dedicated team that is known for caring for some of the country’s most famous professional and collegiate athletes,” Dr. Miniaci says. “But you don’t need to be a pro to receive the same care. We are here to help diagnose your problem and promote quick healing.”

Creating delicious Indian foods at home is now possible for anyone, re gardless of their culinary skills. With the right shortcuts, you can prepare nutritious meals in less time. Ready to get started? Here are three reasons why you should add Indian cuisine to your lunch and din ner rotations:

1. It’s better for you: Indian cuisine features a number of ingredients that sup port a healthy lifestyle. For example, len tils are an excellent source of protein and gut-friendly fiber, leaving you feeling full er for longer. Commonly used spices, such as cumin and ginger, aid in digestion and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.

And if you stick to vegetarian and vegan dishes, you’ll be taking it a step fur ther. Plant-based diets not only taste great, but have been linked to weight loss, better blood sugar control and a decreased risk of heart disease, among other health benefits.

(StatePoint) As many parents know, get ting 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 identi fied 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. Wheth er it’s nap time or nighttime, foster better shuteye by setting up the right sleep envi ronment. 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 technology

2. It’s better for the planet: Eating a plant-based diet is one of the simplest ways to protect the planet. With its wide variety of protein-rich dishes and flavor ful ingredients, Indian cuisine is a go-to

choice for anyone looking to cut back on meat. Studies show that if you eat one plant-based meal a day for a year, you’ll save almost 200,000 gallons of water –that’s equivalent to 11,400 showers.

is here to help. The new VTech Sleep Train ing Soother is inspired by WeeSleep experts and combines light, sounds and tips to en courage healthy sleep habits. You can craft the ideal sleep environment using its col

orful nightlight, glow-on-the-ceiling projec tor, temperature gauge and powerful Blue tooth Speaker, from which you can play over 200 pre-programmed stories, classical mu sic, lullabies and natural sounds, or stream

3. Time-saving meal kits can make it convenient: For people who are not sure how to get started, a meal kit subscription is the perfect way to gain fluency in Indi an flavors and makes the experience of putting authentic dishes on the table easy.

In particular, The Cumin Club, avail able nationwide, offers more than 30 au thentic Indian dishes starting at $4.99 each. All you need is hot water and about five minutes to make a satisfying meal.

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 bat tery, you can even use the device when pow er isn’t available.

“People of all ages thrive when they have a consistent routine and healthy rest ful sleep,” says Janey Reilly, CEO and found er 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 Wee Sleep coach, which you can use to gain in sights and tips for tackling the unique chal lenges you’re facing.

• Expectations: Having realistic expecta tions about sleep training can help you avoid letting the process itself create additional fa tigue 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.

Freidheim Fellows Propose Solutions to Complex Public Policy Issues

Two alumnae who were selected as Fre idheim Fellows presented their research on two pressing problems facing society: abor tion and the ideological divide.

Shelby Braun and Sarah Kilpatrick dis cussed these issues and possible solutions during their presentations Tuesday night in the Lassiter Rotunda of PBA’s Warren Li brary.

The Freidheim Fellows program is part of the LeMieux Center for Public Policy, one of Palm Beach Atlantic’s six Centers of Excellence. The program is named for do nors Marguerite “Mitzi” Freidheim and her husband, Cyrus. Fellows receive guidance from former U.S. Sen. George S. LeMieux, as well as a stipend to cover research costs and an independent study course.

The program provides an opportunity to discuss issues “in a way that is thought ful, respectful and profound,” said LeMieux. “That’s what we need in this country.”

Braun, a psychology major from Wel lington, Florida, joined via Zoom from Ox ford University, where she is continuing her studies. Braun chose her topic, State Lev el Strategies for Reducing the Incidence of Abortion, and was well into her research before the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Orga nization, holding that there is no constitu tional right to an abortion.

The effects of the decision are still to be determined because most state legisla tures have not met since the decision came

down allowing states to set their own abor tion policies, Braun said. Braun’s adviser was Dr. James Todd, associate professor of pol itics and an expert on the Supreme Court and constitutional law.

a fetal heartbeat is detected.

She found that “when insurance cover age for abortion is an option, it will be used to the full extent,” adding, “insurance is a very, very powerful tool that can be used to regulate abortion.”

Braun said because state laws are so dif ferent, there is a lack of data to create effec tive policies for preventing unintended preg nancies. She proposed mandated reporting measures and more transparency in data about abortions.

Kilpatrick, a politics major and history minor from Land o’ Lakes, Florida, is work ing in New York with plans to ultimately at tend law school. Her topic was on improv ing the teaching of U.S. history as a way to address the ideological division in society. Dr. Elizabeth Stice, associate professor of history, served as Kilpatrick’s adviser.

Instead of a national policy, Kilpatrick proposed a market-based solution through the College Board. The College Board is recognized by all states as an effective av enue for high school students to earn col lege credit through AP courses. While the College Board requires teachers to use pri mary sources, it doesn’t dictate what those sources have to say.

“It’s non-profit, it’s non-partisan and it’s not federally endorsed,” Kilpatrick said.

AP education is subsidized for lowerincome families in some states but not in others, which creates unequal access to ed ucation, Kilpatrick said. She proposed the federal government subsidized the $97 fee for the end-of-year AP tests required for credit.

Previously, states’ efforts to restrict abortion included prohibiting abortion af ter a specific gestational age, banning the use of public funds for abortion, restricting private insurance coverage, allowing private healthcare providers to refuse to participate in abortions, mandating counseling prior to an abortion and waiting periods.

While New York has some of the most permissive abortion laws, Texas has among the most restrictive, Braun said. In Texas, public, private and marketplace health in surance plans are not allowed to subsidize abortions in case of severe health risks to the mother, and abortions are banned after

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are highly prioritized, and rightly so, Kilpatrick said. But while many Americans believe history is the most valu able subject, only half can identify when the Civil War took place, and only 18 percent understand what the Emancipation Procla mation is, Kilpatrick said.

Up until President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society programs in the 1960s, edu cation was largely dependent on the states, Kilpatrick said. Even after that and up until President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act, the federal government focused on standards, rather than content, she said.

LeMieux said he loved Kilpatrick’s pro posal because “it’s targeted, focused and do able.” Stice asked how Kilpatrick envisioned history and civics interaction.

Kilpatrick replied, “History lays the foundation so students can be strong civ ic members.”

Hattie Murray, a political science and pre-law student from Lakeland, Tennes see, and Caleb Bowman, a history major from Jacksonville, Florida, were selected as Freidheim Fellows. Murray will exam ine the federal government’s use of nomi nally private entities to censor free speech. Bowman’s topic is U.S. involvement in Ye men and its role in the U.S. relationship with Iran.

FAU Ranks in “Diverse” Magazine’s Top 100 Minority Degree Producers

Diverse: Issues In Higher Education magazine ranked Florida Atlantic Universi ty as No. 17 for graduating African Ameri can students with bachelor’s degrees in all disciplines combined in its list of top 100 minority degree producers among Ameri can undergraduate and graduate institutions of higher education.

FAU’s rankings among the Top 100 for all disciplines combined also include:

17 for African Americans with bach elor’s degrees

40 for Hispanics with bachelor’s de grees

51 for African Americans with mas ter’s degrees

53 for Hispanics with master’s degrees

44 for total minority students with bachelor’s degrees

60 for total minority students with mas ter’s degrees

“It is an honor to be recognized as a leader of equitable student achievement,” said FAU President John Kelly. “FAU is committed to breaking down barriers to success, especially for traditionally under served students. We are proud to be an in stitution that embraces diversity and creates generational change.”

The data, compiled exclusively for Di verse by Rhonda V. Sharpe, Ph.D., found er and president of the Women’s Institute for Science, Equity and Race, is the only na tional report on the ability of U.S. colleges

and universities to award degrees to Afri can American, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American students.

The Diverse top 100 report is the only national analysis to use the most recent da ta from the U.S. Department of Education (preliminary 2020-2021 academic year). Us ing these statistics, Sharpe created rankings in the total number of degrees awarded at every American institution of higher edu cation, as well as specific figures in major fields of study and disciplines. This marks the 31st consecutive year that Diverse (for merly Black Issues In Higher Education) has produced this original research.

Since 1984, Diverse: Issues In High er Education magazine has been the na tion’s premier publication covering the is sues pertaining to underrepresented groups in American higher education. A compre hensive presentation of top 100 degree sta tistics can be found at top100.diverseedu cation.com/

FAU Honors 2022 Talon Award Recipients

Florida Atlantic University recently hosted its annual Talon Leadership Awards ceremony as part of Homecoming 2022. The awards recognize outstanding faculty, student, alumni and community leadership. Co-sponsored by the FAU Alumni Association and the Homecoming Committee, the Talon Awards have been presented during Homecoming week since 1997.

“Our 2022 Talon Award honorees have demonstrated a sincere commitment to the university in truly meaningful ways,” said FAU President John Kelly. “Their leadership is at the very heart of FAU’s upward trajectory, and I am thankful for their tremendous dedication to improve our Owl community.”

The President’s Talon Award went to four recipients including David J. Nicholson, Aubrey M. Strul, Eric Shaw, Ph.D, MBA ’73, B.B.A. ’72, and Richard L. Schmidt, MBA ’71.

Nicholson is a philanthropist and wealth manager with a demonstrated history of successful accomplishments in financial services and education. He formed the Stiles-Nicholson Foundation in 1992 to honor the military sacrifices of his father, William Stiles, a fallen soldier, and stepfather William Nicholson, a German prisoner of war survivor. In 2021, he made contributions totaling $10 million to FAU, which welcomed an era of unprecedented research, education and discovery at FAU’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter.

Strul is a private equity investor who invests in companies with strong management teams, quality product lines and exceptional people. In 2017, he founded the Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program with Kelly to enable qualified Florida high school graduates to attend FAU and graduate debt-free.

Shaw is a professor emeritus of marketing at FAU and a two-time alumnus, having received a B.B.A. with honors in 1972 and a MBA in 1973. Shaw serves on the editorial and review board of several international academic societies and associations and is a peer reviewer for several

scholarly journals, academic conferences, and textbook publishers. He continues to mentor Ph.D. students and sits on several FAU committees and journal review boards, all while still publishing research and engaging in scholarly activities.

Schmidt is the chief executive officer of Schmidt Companies, Inc., a diversified investment group. He also is the president of the Schmidt Family Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to helping people help themselves by supporting nonprofits that work to alleviate suffering and make the most of an individual’s given abilities. He received his MBA in accounting at FAU in 1970. In addition to his many philanthropic gifts, Schmidt has given FAU longstanding, unwavering dedication and his availability.

Kyle Prescott, D.M.A., received the Faculty Talon Award. He is the director of bands and professor of music at FAU where he conducts the University Wind Ensemble, teaches graduate conducting, and coordinates all aspects of the University Bands program.

The Student Talon Award was presented to Cassidy Hoover, a prospective fall 2022 graduate in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. She is involved in the honors program as a lead peer academic coach and is the program board director for FAU’s student government. She is also a member of FAU’s women’s club soccer team.

For the first time, the alumni talon award was named on behalf of Schmidt, to further acknowledge all that he has done for FAU. The Richard L. Schmidt Alumni Talon Award went to Dr. Edward Fulton who attended the Harriett L. Wilkes Honors College and was a Flagler Scholar. During his time at FAU, he was involved in research relating to microtubule motors. He was also student body governor of the John D.

Sailfish Come Up Short Against Lynn On the Road

Martin Named Preseason AllConference USA

The Palm Beach Atlantic men’s soccer team hit the road tonight to face cross-town rivals Lynn Uni versity. The two sides played out a defensive opening half before the Sailfish surrendered two goals in the second and fell 2-0 to move their record to 7-4-1 on the season.

There were just six shots be tween the two sides in the open ing half, as the Sailfish dominat ed possession in the midfield and in their own third. However, they never really cre ated a clear-cut opportunity.

Aaron Ibe had a header from a set piece headed away for a cor ner. Goalkeeper

Guillermo Fa lo was called up on to make one big save in the opening save and had quick reflex es to parry away and close shot.

Giancarlo Dos tilio had PBA’s best chance as he charged into the box with the ball late but his shot was deflected by a defender and straight into the arms of the Lynn goalie. The two sides went into the locker room scoreless at the half.

It appeared scoring would be at a premium on the night and who ever could take their one chance would prevail. Just six minutes in to the second half, a questionable

penalty was called against the Sail fish. With the sideline erupting af ter the call, Falo guessed the right way but the penalty shot was well placed into the corner to put the Knights ahead.

In the 58th minute, Falo got caught on the ball after a back pass and as he took one too many touch es, he was dispossessed and the Lynn attacker placed a shot from outside the box into an empty net. Down 2-0 the Sailfish pushed to get back into the game after giv ing away two goals. Fred Fer reira had a shot in the 70th min ute as he cut onto his right foot on the edge of the box but his shot was right to the keeper and Har rison Ardron had a good chance late but was un able to get a shot away.

PBA failed to score for the second-straight road game but will need to have results in their final two Sunshine State Confer ence games to have a chance at the SSC Tournament. The Sailfish host a non-conference match against Maine Fort Kent this Friday where they will honor their senior class before hosting Eckerd and Nova Southeastern next week to close out their regular season.

Conference USA announced its men’s basketball preseason all-conference team on Thursday afternoon. Alijah Martin of Florida Atlantic University landed on the All-C-USA Preseason Team after a terrif ic 2021-22 campaign. Martin is poised to lead the Owls once again this season as a second-year sophomore.

Along with the release of the all-con ference teams came the Conference USA Preseason poll. The Owls were selected to finish in fifth place out of 11 based off a vote of the league’s head coaches.

“We are extremely excited for Alijah,” FAU head coach Dusty May said. “He is a tireless worker, a great teammate, and he continues to elevate his game.”

Martin put forward a tremendous 2021-22 season as a second-year fresh man, leading the Owls in several statisti

cal categories. He led FAU in points (13.9 ppg), field goals made (145), 3-point percentage (.400), rebounding (5.3) and steals (53). His 40% mark from 3-point range ranked second in C-USA.

A consistent producer, Martin scored double-digits in 26 out of his 33 games played, including five games of 20 points or more. In the final regular season game of the year, Martin had a career day with 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the floor, 5-of-9 shooting from long distance and 7-of-8 from the free throw line. For his efforts, Martin was named third team All-C-USA last season.

Martin becomes FAU’s first pre season All-Conference honoree since Jaylin Smith in 2019.

Martin and the Owls are a mere 18 days away from the 2022-23 sea son opener, when FAU will square off against Lynn at home on Nov. 7.
