Florida Atlantic University’s Cane Institute for Advanced Technologies at A.D. Henderson University School (ADHUS) and FAU High School is doing its part to help stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) by creating 3D printed personal protective equipment (PPE).

• The Achievement Centers for Children and Families (ACCF), established in 1969 and serves 900 local children and families annually from three locations in Delray Beach, reports overwhelming response to its meal program that launched on March 23. The organization has partnered with local restaurants and community agencies to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to local families. Thus far, they have been able to provide 3500 meals, including 1100 dinners, 900 lunches & 1500 breakfasts and, last Friday, were able to provide two rolls of toilet paper to each family. • Farm Share, one of Florida’s leading food nonprofits, in partnership with Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of the City are teaming up to host a distribution of food and supplies to South Floridians with food security needs during the coronavirus pandemic. The abrupt and ongoing interruption of business in various industries caused by COVID-19 has increased demand for food distributions to support Floridians. With the help of the Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of The City, Farm Share is slated to feed 500 local households on Wednesday, April 15. • In response to the “stay at home” orders affecting so many worldwide, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation is pivoting to provide virtual supports and resources to people with special needs and their families. The Foundation is seeking partners to provide virtual programs to a population who typically suffer from social isolation. Now is the time to take advantage of technology and ensure families have access to information, guidance, learning, and social opportunities. • Just one day before receiving a letter from the City of Boca Raton that announced the closure of all nonessential and commercial businesses until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic, Florida Atlantic University merchandise store, It’s Owl Time, officially announced it would be permanently closing its store near the middle of May. • As Florida Atlantic University has al-

ready announced that classes will continue to remain online throughout the Spring 2020 semester, an email was sent today to all students, professors, and other faculty on behalf of the Office of the Provost, that “students now have the option to change grading in most courses from letter grades to a Pass/Fail grade.” • The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) announced Florida will pilot a program for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to purchase groceries online with the use of an EBT card. SNAP participants are automatically eligible to participate in this program and do not need to apply. • The Early Learning Coalition is seeking assistance in helping child care centers serving emergency personnel, and essential workers obtain the necessary supplies they need to stay open safely. During this time of need, The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County has generously received a donation of $10,000 in highly coveted hand sanitizer from the Medical Group of South Florida. • Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the appointment of KerryAnn McDonald, MD, to the medical staff of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute (LWHWI) and BocaCare® Physician Network. She specializes in benign and malignant breast disease. • Art enthusiasts can expect to be moved this fall by three exhibits that cover a range of topics including sexual assault and its effect on victims. The exhibits, which will be displays at The Art Gallery at Eissey Campus and The Gallery at Lake Worth Campus, showcase stories, ideas and perceptions through paintings, drawings, photography, graphic design and more. They are free and open to the public and feature artwork created by PBSC students and community artists. • Baptist Health South Florida is once again the most awarded healthcare system in South Florida by U.S. News & World Report with 32 high-performing awards in 14 types of care. Boca Raton Regional Hospital is once again the highest-ranked hospital.

Community Lynn University’s 17th annual fashion show, Reclaim the Runway, goes virtual Students in the College of Business and Management’s fashion and retail management program hit the runway each spring to put on a professional show. They work tirelessly throughout the semester to design the event, from each look to marketing that drives attendance. Despite interruptions in their coursework and in-person event, Lynn University faculty and students remained determined: The show must go on. “Our annual show was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the students are adamant to show their work virtually,” said Andrew Burnstine, associate professor in the College of Business and Management. “For graduating seniors, it’s especially important that they can show future employers and companies their experience and resilience.” Bringing the future of fashion to life Over the past months, Burnstine invited designers from Brazil, California, Canada, China and other countries to speak in his class and support students’ projects. Students will deliver five- to eight-minute presentations on sustainable fashion for their assigned designer’s collection. Projects will incorporate creative elements, such as iMovie, Canva, Adobe

Spark, HoloMe and Flipboard virtual magazine. For example, California designer Camille Wood partnered with Ariana Maher, class of 2020, to provide clothing to model. Maher and Wood both will use green screens and HoloMe’s augmented reality technology to stage the show with music, props, accessories and other creative elements. Maher will also show an edited video interview with the designer to introduce her project. Behind the scenes

Burnstine’s passion for the fashion industry and his students’ success helped inspire how he transitioned his class to a 100% remote learning model so quickly. “We are trying to create something that feels real and informative. This is probably the closest an audience will get to see a professionally styled fashion show for quite a while. And, as far as I know, no school in America is doing anything like this!” Students will present final projects individually over five class sessions, beginning April 29

A local community church in Boca Raton is doing its part in helping those affected by COVID-19. Boca Raton Community Church, located at 470 NW 4th Avenue, has donated 500 bags of supplies to local nonprofits. The items such as toilet paper, paper towels, tide pods, baby supplies, shampoo, napkins, batteries, and dish soap were donated to Boca Raton Community Church by Food for the Poor, and Matthew 25 Ministries, who donated 41 pallets worth of material. “We’ve been blessed with this donation,” said Clay Hecocks, the worship Pastor at Boca Community who is also spearheading this initiative. “We want to share in our abundance and give people in our community hope.” A few of the organizations that have received donations include, 4Kids, St. Gregory’s Episcopal, Islamic Center of Boca Raton, CityHouse Delray Beach, First Care, and Boca Helping Hands. “Our goal in creating these bags

of supplies is to share the love of Jesus,” added Hecocks. “We hope to encourage other people in the community to help make a difference during this crisis.” “Donating these bags to the people and organizations in our community is about more than supplies,” added Haley Baughman, Director of BocaKids and Merge (the church’s K-5th Grade ministry). “We want people to know that they are loved and supported. Our church is committed to caring for those in this city and those that live in the south Florida region.” Boca Raton Community Church’s vision is to pursue God, build community, and engage the world. The church does this by being Christ-centered, creating authentic community, and having whole-life generosity. During this pandemic, the church is “rowing toward the crisis” by taking action to help those in the community while spreading the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

Feeding South Florida has Distributed Over 6 Million Pounds of Food in 6 Weeks

Feeding South Florida®, the leading domestic hunger-relief organization in South Florida, is working diligently to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and the rapidly evolving and increased food needs of those who are food insecure in Palm Beach County. To supplement closed schools, senior meal sites and support the increased unemployed population, Feeding South Florida has partnered with municipalities, schools, nonprofits and other organizations to set up drive-thru distributions throughout Palm Beach County. In Palm Beach County alone, Feeding South Florida has distributed over six million pounds in six weeks, thereby doubling its output from last year during those same six weeks. · City of Boynton Beach Distribution: Feeding South Florida, the City of Boynton Beach and Christ Fellowship Church joined forces to create an efficient and critically-needed food distribution in Palm Beach County in response to the COVID-19 crisis. These three entities have come together to make a food distribution at Christ Fellowship Church in Boynton Beach possible every Thursday, 9–11 a.m. The City of Boynton Beach donated $15,000, and Christ Fellowship donated $10,000, to support the distribution. · Town of Jupiter Distribution: With the growing increase in demand, Feeding South Florida has added yet another distribution to the community in the Town of Jupiter, supported by Admiral’s Cove Foundation.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Stay Home This Sunday, God can Hear you From There The marquis at the church on Military Trail in Boynton Beach read “Jesus rode into Jerusalem on an ass. Keep yours home.” While the language may be somewhat unorthodox coming from a church, perhaps, just maybe, that is the only way to get some people to understand the meaning of “practice social distancing” during this coronavirus pandemic. For the last three weeks medical experts and our elected leaders have been warning us to avoid public gatherings, and if we have to be out, keep six feet away from others in hopes of keeping us safe and healthy. Still, we are seeing and hearing the stories of those religious leaders who continue to defy these orders. As the world goes darker, we know the light shines brighter and we need God more now than ever. No one is saying stop worship, just simply, do not congregate. Last weekend, we observed Easter and Passover. The religious services historically are a magnet for worshippers in many churches and synagogues, and just the thought of an outbreak makes me nervous. Reverends, pastors, ministers, rabbis and other faith leaders, a key element of your religion is to obey the law and care for

others. You can send a clear and powerful message about your faith and values by respecting the social distance order, therefore protecting each other — and the public at large — from sickness or death. Several members of the clergy have vowed to hold public services, regardless of the consequences. One congregation in San Diego, California, has asked a federal judge to allow them to meet on Easter Sunday in their vehicles despite the County’s stay at home order. Parishioners maintain that the order violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment because it places more stringent restrictions on the church than those placed on secular businesses. Yes, it is a thin line between religion and state. However, when does common sense prevail? Just like holy water is not a hand sanitizer, prayer is not a vaccine. As many of you know, I am not a fan of government intrusion. However, we are in a unique situation and it is the government’s responsibility to make sure that all people are safe Most houses of worships are demonstrating the kind of leadership we need, they are embracing technology despite the frustrating limitations, and are offering their

members the opportunity to worship virtually. As I pen this column, I am watching an internationally-known pastor deliver his message to an empty sanctuary. Guess what, the impact of his message was not altered and him being virtual, allowed the gospel to reach many across the world. Other pastors have given new meaning to the term, “Necessity is the mother of inventions,” by taking creative measures such as requiring congregants to wear protective gear including hazmat suits when coming to church or offering drivethru benedictions. Still, there are some who, hide under the cloak of the First Amendment, arguing that a church should have reasonable accommodations to serve God according to their conscience. Say what? Their motives are mixed – some, it is greed, some are misguided and others are simply wacked. One local pastor, after holding services online two Sundays ago, complained that he did not make enough money from the offering. So, instead of bolstering digital tithes and offering from his parishioners, they went back to meeting this past Sunday. Another pastor held drive-in

services where attendees stayed in their cars and listened as they would at a drive-in movie theatre. While tha is creative and a bit safer, it is still risky. This is a pandemic and people are fearful and looking to their faith leaders for guidance. If you continue to flounce orders for selfish reasons, where is your sense of responsibility? Is that sound leadership and good judgment? Your parishioners may not succumb to the illness but they could pass the virus along to others. Your selfish actions could literally kill people pastor. Some have even suggested that people should stay in their lanes, as one Orlando pastor told critics, “Mind your own business.” What he and all the other recalcitrant faith leaders fail to realize is that ensuring the health and safety of those among us in this pandemic is the responsibility of everyone. It is everyone’s business pastor. I know for many, the house of worship is an oasis of calm and comfort during this period when our world is in chaos. Come on people, let common sense prevail please!

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

Setting the Bar at Exceeding Expectations When was the last time you did business with someone and were overwhelmed in a positive way? An experience that could only be described in words like “Wow!” or “Unbelievable”? Perhaps it was a manufacturer’s representative that went far beyond what you requested to make certain that your needs were met. Or a retail store that went the extra mile to ensure that you were totally satisfied with your purchase? Maybe a restaurant where the food was exceptional, the atmosphere was outstanding, and the service you received – from the time you arrived until the moment you left – exceeded any expectations you might have had. In today’s world, such experiences seem to be more the exception than the rule. Increasingly, it seems, in the name of making a profit, attempting to reduce costs, or in some cases, pure laziness, service

May 1 - May 7, 2020

beyond the norm is rare. Instead of being recipients of “the best,” we find ourselves forced to accept for what is deemed to be only “good enough.” Over the years, however, I have encountered a few enterprises that made exceptional service a part of their mission statements. I recall a transportation company that followed the motto, “Our goal is to exceed your expectations.” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that were the common practice, rather than the rarity? There are a number of passages in the Bible that speak to this virtue, underscoring how valuable an attitude of exceeding expectations can be. It all starts with God, our Creator, who desires to serve as our model for excellence in all we do. Here are some principles about exceeding expectations that we find in the Scriptures: Doing immeasurably more. How

would you like to expect service providers to do everything abundantly for you – in abundance? This is what the Bible promises God wants to do for us – and in us and through us: “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly (immeasurably) beyond all that we ask of think, according to the power that works within us.” (Ephesians 3:20). Remembering whom we are serving. Typically, how we approach our work depends on how we view those we are serving. Sometimes we are tempted to do just enough to get by, but if we keep in mind who ultimately will evaluate our efforts, that will make a tremendous difference in the quality of our work and the attitudes that define our labors. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as

www.bocaratontribune.com

a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24). Exceeding expectations even with those we dislike. In most cases, we are willing to do a little extra, beyond what is expected, for people we like, as well as individuals we hope will show us their favor. But what about people we do not like, those who seem to have made it their personal mission to make us miserable? Jesus gave us these radical commands: “You have heard it said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles…” (Matthew 5:38-41).

Sincerely, Douglas Heizer Publisher

While I was partnering with a friend, Jerry, on a consulting job, he shared a profound insight with Tom, who was one of our clients. Jerry’s observation was simple, but profound: “Success is the greatest impediment to greatness.” Once success settles in, Jerry explained, it is not uncommon for leaders to believe achievements are due to their own professional brilliance. As a result they start to assume their success is perpetual. They think that whatever decisions they make will always prove to yield more success. As markets and conditions change, however, successful people can easily be left behind if they are not constantly looking to understand the times, recognizing when important changes occur and adapting accordingly. Sometimes in today’s world, it seems the only thing that is unchanging is the reality that things can – and often do – change, sometimes at incredible speed. Embracing the status quo is an excellent strategy if you intend to be left behind while your competitors surge ahead. Change, of course, is hardly a new concept, although technology and communications have certainly played a role in accelerating the rate and scope of change. The Bible offers some wise observations about change, and the importance of our willingness to respond to it effectively. For instance, in the book of 1 Chronicles we find an interesting recounting of the great men who joined David in his battle against Saul. We

learn about the, “men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do”(1 Chronicles 12:32). They were astute observers of what was occurring around them, seeking to discern how best to respond to changing circumstances. The ancient book of wisdom, Ecclesiastes, also addresses the inevitability of change. The first verse of the third chapter begins with, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” It addresses changing demands of work in several ways: “A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted…. A time to break down, and a time to build up…. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones…. A time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew…” (Ecclesiastes 3:2-7). As we approach our work – formulating plans, developing strategies, undertaking projects, and evaluating results – it would be extremely beneficial to take a cue from the biblical men of Issachar, constantly seeking to understand the times so we will know what we should do not only to succeed, but also to pursue greatness. At the same time, excellent leaders know that understanding the times and being willing to change their approach do not require changing or compromising their values. Those remain constant, serving as a lighthouse amid the ever-shifting seas of change.

Annual GenZ Story Expression Workshop remembers the Holocaust

Every spring, Lynn University holds the Nuremberg Trials class and the GenZ Story Expression Workshop— which culminate in an event that has been treasured by students and the Boca Raton community for more than a decade. Both provide special opportunities for students to explore history with the people who survived it. Lynn began the Holocaust remembrance project when it discovered original artifacts from the Nuremberg Trials in its archives. The university tapped Professor Sindee Kerker to create a class that explored them. “My experience as a deputy district attorney helped me interpret the transcripts—I’ve been teaching the class ever since then,” said Kerker. “I want students to have an emotional attachment to what happened to the six million Jews and other victims at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators.” Kerker’s class is based on the 42-volume Blue Series, which is the official record of the major war criminal trials and includes the procedures, witness testimonies, documents, judges’ verdicts and sentencing. Archived in the Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Library, the volumes allow students to delve deeper into the history of the trials. In 2013, Lynn partnered with NEXT GENERATIONS, a Boca Ratonbased organization that strives to preserve the legacy of those who perished and honor those who survived the Holocaust, to expand the class to the GenZ Story Expression Workshop. As part of the workshop, students hear from a survivor firsthand. Then, they spend six to eight weeks recreating the story through creative mediums such as art, poetry, music, film, theater, technology, blogs or social media. “The purpose of the project is for students to express what they have

heard in a way that reaches out to others who have not heard the survivor’s story and may not be familiar with the horrors of the Holocaust,” Kerker said. The first workshop was so impactful that Kerker knew she needed to get other classes involved. Since its launch, the project has grown to include participation from faculty, staff and students outside of Kerker’s class. Final projects are displayed at the Project Nuremberg Lawyers Luncheon at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton and at Lynn’s annual Celebration of the Arts. Both are typically held in April and May. This year, students will present their projects virtually. Kerker hopes that the survivor that told his story this year, George Reinitz, will be able to tune in. Reinitz said he participates in these types of events because the GenZ event is his duty. “I have to speak because I’m a witness, and there aren’t many witnesses left over. The responsibility to continue to learn about, understand and work toward preventing another event such as the Holocaust is on current and upcoming generations. This class offers the chance to continue passing on the legacies of survivors.” The Blue Series at the Lynn Library is one of the only few bound collections that exist in the world today. While the series does not circulate—and the volumes cannot be taken out of the archives—anyone can access them at the library Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Appointments are required for the general public. SPIRAL offers select pages digitally. “The most important lesson that I can teach my students is to never forget. These students are the reason why we won’t—they will share Holocaust survivor stories for generations to come,” said Kerker.

Boca Chamber Advocates for Emergency Small Business Relief Program

The Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce has proposed a suggested framework for a small business emergency relief program to the Boca Raton City Council at their virtual meeting on Tuesday, April 28th. The Small Business Relief Program is designed to provide short-term financial assistance to businesses within the City of Boca Raton to help them meet basic operational obligations such as rent, payroll and utilities. The proposed program would be administered by the City of Boca Raton. “We know too well the Business Community needs help now more than ever. It is a critical time in history, and we need to do everything we can to help keep our businesses open”, said Troy McLellan, President and CEO of the Boca Chamber. The proposal suggested a start-

ing point of $500,000 to be available. Some items in the framework include the following eligible requirements: the business must be located within city limits, be financially current with their city licensing, have a physical space (brick & mortar) and have less than a million dollars in annual revenues to qualify for the program. “With many of our small businesses forced to close or significantly alter their operation due to Executive Orders, the Boca Chamber is proud to lead the effort to advocate for this program to help keep Boca Raton’s economic engine running”, said Troy McLellan, President and CEO of the Boca Chamber. The Boca Chamber looks forward to working with the City of Boca Raton to finalize this relief program for small businesses.

Palm Beach State College Student Unicorn Foundation Announces Receives Jack Kent Cooke Mindfulness Workshop for People Scholarship with Special Needs

Ivan Franco, a Palm Beach State College Honors College student, is among only 50 selected nationwide to receive the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s prestigious Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. The highly competitive scholarship, which this year drew 1,500 applicants from 311 community colleges, provides students with up to $40,000 a year to complete the upper division coursework for their bachelor’s degrees. PBSC leaders surprised Franco with the news during a virtual meeting on Zoom. “I was shocked. It’s a blessing to have received that notification,” said Franco, who will complete his Associate in Arts degree in May. “It’s an opportunity of a lifetime, and I’m so grateful.” Franco plans to transfer to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University this fall to pursue his bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering with a focus on rocket propulsion and fulfill his lifelong dream of working on rockets and airplanes. As a child, he became fascinated with airplanes, particularly with how lowlying aircraft “made the buildings shake. “It fascinated me. I had to figure out why this happens. Curiosity just took over,’’ he said. After excelling in a pre-engineering program in middle school, he was accepted into the Boynton Aerospace Science Academy, a choice program at Boynton Beach Community High School that is supported by Embry-Riddle. By the time he graduated high school, he had earned his license to fly commercial drones and had taken and passed the written test portion for the private pilot license. He enrolled at PBSC in fall 2018 with a full-ride Presidential Honors College Scholarship and joined the Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College, where he has continued to flourish. He will receive the Honors Gold diploma, the most rigorous track in the Honors College. While maintaining a 3.91 grade point average, he also has been active on campus. He is president of the Student

Government Association on the Lake Worth campus, president of the Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors Student Advisory Council and vice president of finance for Phi Theta Kappa among other activities. He was named to the 2020 All-Florida Academic Team, which is composed of students who were nominated by their respective colleges to the All-USA Academic Team competition sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa. He also was named a Coca-Cola Academic Team Gold Scholar. He credits his parents for his latest achievement, but also praised his professors and advisors who have encouraged him on his educational journey. “This scholarship is the result of the sacrifice that my parents took 14 years ago to come to the United States with nothing,’’ said Franco, a native of Colombia and the oldest of three children. “This was their moment.” “I am ecstatic for Ivan,’’ said Marcella Montesinos, PBSC Honors College manager. “The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has given him an opportunity to have no financial burden for himself and for his family. I have enjoyed getting to know Ivan and seeing him grow both in serving the community and in the Honors College.” In addition to financial support, new Cooke Transfer Scholars will receive comprehensive educational advising from the foundation to guide them through the process of transitioning to a four-year university and preparing for their careers. They will opportunities for internships, study abroad, and graduate school funding, as well as connection to a thriving network of over 2,700 fellow Cooke Scholars and alumni. In the rigorous selection process for the 50 recipients who are from 17 states, the foundation evaluated each submission based on students’ academic ability and achievement, financial need, persistence, leadership, and service to others. The recipients selected represent 17 different states and plan to enroll at the nation’s most selective colleges

The Unicorn Children’s Foundation is delighted to announce 2 upcoming workshop series on Mindfulness Stress Reduction during May Mental Health Awareness Month. These offerings are an addition to the virtual support and resource offerings for people with special needs and their families by providing access to information, guidance, learning, and social opportunities. Iris Neil, M.Ed., facilitator of the workshops shared “With the bombardment of news about disasters, pandemics, crime, and uncertainty, our minds can create an unease, elevating stress and anxiety. Mindfulness based stress reduction helps to calm the chatter in our minds which is a crucial skill in the world we live in today. Mindfulness helps to build skills needed to manage stress, build resilience and cope with changes.” The workshops will be offered weekly during the month of May. One workshop will be geared to emerging adults, aged 16 – 30, who have one or more identified special needs. These sessions will be conducted each week on Thursday from 3-4pm beginning on

May 7. There is a $10 required deposit which can be refunded upon completion of the program. A second workshop will be open to the general public for a $150 “buy one, give one” fee that allows the Foundation to offer the workshop to students with special needs for free. These sessions will be conducted each week on Wednesday from 3-4pm beginning on May 6. There will be a maximum enrollment of 10 participants per workshop, so register early to secure your spot. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, is an effective-research based program for reducing physical and psychological stress. Research has shown that the benefits of mindfulness meditation increases the ability to cope with chronic pain, develops self-awareness, effective communication skills, and most importantly a non-judgmental awareness that enables us to respond with greater clarity, stability and understanding to life’s stressors, rather than reacting in unhealthy ways.

FAU Recognizes Student-Athlete Achievements at 2020 Owlspys Florida Atlantic University athletics held the sixth annual Owlspys, an event organized and presented by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), on Wednesday night. Although student-athletes were unable to gather in one spot for this year’s awards, while sporting their most dapper and elegant pieces, the show still went on to celebrate the near-conclusion of the 2019-20 academic year. The show was carried out with hosts Sean Barone from men’s cross country and Sydney Riggs from the volleyball team and SAAC president Kelsey Witkay from swimming & diving, gave the opening remarks. All winners gave acceptance speeches via videos. The night was celebrated with 20 awards, including the most-prized “Student-Athlete of the Year” honors. AnneCatherine Wasser from the women’s track & field team won the Female Student-Athlete of Year. Wasser will graduate in May with a double major in public management and psychology, while holding a cumulative 4.0 GPA. The Willich, Germany native ends her FAU career with two indoor track & field school records in the 600m (1:34.8) and 4x400m relay (3:47.20), 15 top-10 program showings and 13 new personal records. Wasser is coming off the 2019 outdoor season, where she qualified for the NCAA East Regional in the 400m hurdles, while running the event in 59.53. Not to mention, Wasser is a three-time Conference

USA Academic Medal recipient, three-time C-USA Honor Roll member, C-USA AllAcademic Team representative and C-USA Spirit of Service winner. She was also honored as part of the 2019 USTFCCCA All-Academic Team and CoSIDA Academic All-District Team. Hagay Jalon was acknowledged as the Male Student-Athlete of the Year. Jalon just wrapped up his redshirt senior season on the men’s soccer team, while becoming the program’s first CoSIDA Academic All-American (Third Team). The goalkeeper had a stellar season at the net, tallying two C-USA Defensive Player of the Week awards, as FAU’s first league weekly award winner since the 2013 season. Jalon recorded three shutouts during the season, including in wins against No. 15 Marshall, No. 17 James Madison and UAB. The Haifa, Israel native also played all 97 minutes at net in the Owls’ historic 4-3 overtime victory over Old Dominion to beat the Monarchs for the first time in school history and earn a spot in the Owls’ first C-USA Tournament. Off the field, Jalon is a three-time C-USA Academic Medal honoree, three-time C-USA Honor Roll member and C-USA Academic Team representative. Jalon has also been recognized on the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team for the past two years and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a 3.803 GPA last May.
