Boca Beat Hannah Herbst from Florida Atlantic University High School was awarded the Intel ISEF Best of Category Award of $5,000, Translational Medical Science, for her project, titled “Sharks Take a Bite Out of Infection! An Antibacterial, Reusable Bandage for Post-Operative Patients,” at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), a program of the Society for Science & the Public, and the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. • High school students who are leaders in their communities recently graduated from the Solomon Leadership Program, earning University credit. Twenty-two of the 29 teenagers who graduated from the program April 9 completed collegiate-level coursework to earn a credit from the valuesbased leadership program, said Catherine T. MacArthur School of Leadership Dean Dr. Craig Domeck. This is the first year the program offered PBA credit. • Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) is the first hospital in Florida to adopt game-changing technology for some of its most complicated and lengthy neurosurgical procedures. The ORBEYE 4K-3D Video Microscope will be used by neurosurgeons at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute (MNI) for skull-based and spine procedures. The technology provides superior visualization, shortens surgical time and enhances patient outcomes through minimally-invasive techniques. • The Cultural Council of Palm Beach County has named West Palm Beach artist Hegina Rodrigues as recipient of the 2018 Dina Baker Fund for Mature Female Artists. Rodrigues is a self-taught artist whose work has developed over decades, particularly from her travels. Not limited to two dimensions, she creates work with found objects into assemblage. Her process commingles with the art classes she teaches to children and adults around the world, including the Council’s Arts in My Backyard Afterschool program. • Florida Atlantic University’s first class of Doctor of Social Work (DSW) graduates from the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work within the College for Design and Social Inquiry recently earned their degrees.

GENERAL INFORMATION (561) 393-7700

University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s (BRRH) Marcus Neuroscience Institute are taking treatment options to the next level. Jang-Yen (John) Wu, Ph.D., distinguished professor of biomedical science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, and Brian Snelling, M.D., chief of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery and medical director of the Marilyn and Stanley Barry Center for Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute and BRRH, have joined forces to combine a breakthrough interventional procedure for stroke with a novel drug compound that has neuroprotective properties. • Even though Palm Beach County is known for its vast wealth, one in six residents do not know where their next meal will come from according to the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Since the majority of Palm Beach State College students are residents of the county, they too may be struggling to get enough to eat. To help ensure they have this basic need met, the College has relocated and expanded its food pantry, now called Panther’s Pantry. • 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.

COMMUNITY PBSC Students Create Concepts to FAU Receives $750,000 to Name Expand Armory Art Center the Lata and Shiva Gangal Global Innovation Hall

Students in a PBSC architecture class received hands-on experience, and three of them landed cash prizes for their ideas to expand the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach. The Advanced Design class taught in the spring by Boca Raton Professor Dharmesh Patel took on the task of developing concepts to expand the 50,000-square-foot arts education facility as their semester project. The students unveiled their final conceptual drawings and models earlier this month in front of the Armory Art Center Board of Directors and staff and some city officials. Each of the 11 students received a certificate from the Armory Art Center for the work, and the top three were awarded prizes after being picked by three Armory board members and a local architect who served as judges. Mateus Avelar received $500 for first place; Joseph Dagostino received $300 for second place and Alexsandra Dienstbach received $150 for third place. Leaders for the nonprofit Armory Art Center that has been providing arts education since 1986 said demand for classes has continued to increase, requiring the need for extra space. Currently, three buildings are on the site, including a historic Art Deco building. During the past two years, student enrollment increased 14 percent with this year’s record attendance of 3,350 students. “It is now time for the Armory to renovate and expand to meet the needs of our students and our community. We have been fortunate to partner with the Palm Beach State College Advanced Design class,” said Tom Pearson, executive director of the Armory. “It’s a win-win

for the students and a win-win for us.” The designs are available at the Armory Art Center to give the community and potential donors ideas to reference as the organization moves forward with its expansion plans. “I’m proud and grateful that they came to us, and I’m also very proud of the students and the hard work they put into the project,’’ said Patel, Architecture Department chair, noting that students were not initially aware of the possibility of earning an award. “They went above and beyond what was asked of them. They were working on things that I did not require as a grade. They made small animation movies for the designs. I asked for four boards with their drawings, images of their designs, floor plans and elevations, and many did five.” “My goal for this project was to create a modern, elegant, and friendly design which would engage the community and pay respect to the Art Deco Building, which in my opinion, deserves our appreciation and means a lot to the Armory Art Center and the city of West Palm Beach,” Mateus said. Students said the experience gained was unmatched. “The opportunity to actually work on a real-life project, a building that you can visit and walk through was an amazing experience,’’ said Dagostino, a licensed general contractor and A.A. degree graduate who will transfer to Florida Atlantic University in the fall to pursue his bachelor’s degree in architecture. “We had an opportunity to interact with the teachers to see what their needs and concerns were and what their visions were and turn that into our visions to create something.”

Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science received a $750,000 gift from the GANGALS nonprofit Foundation, Inc. (GnF) to name the Lata and Shiva Gangal Global Innovation Hall in the Engineering East building (platinum LEED certified) on FAU’s Boca Raton campus. Last year, the Gangals also established a $500,000 gift for the “Gangal Family Endowed Scholarship Fund” to support talented students as they prepare for professional careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). In addition to these agreed gifts to the FAU Foundation, the Gangals directly award scholarships to FAU engineering graduate students. Their total gifts to FAU amounts to approximately $1.5 million. The GnF recently was honored at a special reception in the College of Engineering and Computer Science on FAU’s Boca Raton campus. “We are so incredibly grateful for the Gangal family’s generosity and their continued support of Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science,” said Stella N. Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “The Lata and Shiva Gangal Global Innovation Hall will provide our students with an engaging environment that will foster learning, creativity and collaboration. This state-of-the-art hall also will serve as an ideal location to showcase student innovations and research achievements.” Shiva and Sneh Lata Gangal established their nonprofit foundation in 2014 in Coconut Creek. Shiva Gangal served as manager of large U.S. corporations from 1973 to 1983 and then as CEO of their 100 percent-owned Tri State Engineering & Management Company (1983 to 2001), an engineer-

ing design and construction corporation in West Virginia. He received his master’s degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, in 1957. Sneh Lata Gangal also served as secretary and treasurer of Tri State Engineering & Management Company from 1983 to 2001 and received her B.S. degree from Agra University in India. Their daughter, Anjali Gangal, is a vice president of Branch Banking & Trust Co. in Fort Lauderdale. “We are extremely proud of our affiliation with Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science and we are delighted to name the Global Innovation Hall,” said Shiva Gangal. “This recent gift is a continuation of our support to ensure that engineering students thrive in their environment and that the college’s programs continue to excel so that we can ensure a robust STEM workforce and knowledge base in South Florida and beyond.” FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science offers 21 degree programs on the Boca Raton campus. Master’s degree programs include bioengineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and ocean engineering. The College’s Ph.D. programs include computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and ocean engineering. In addition, the college offers special master’s degree offerings including an M.S. in information technology and management; an M.S. in civil engineering with a minor in business; an M.S. in computer engineering and computer science with a minor in business; an M.S. in mechanical engineering with a minor in business; and an M.S. in ocean engineering with a minor in business.

Leader with Reputation for Improving Student Outcome Promoted to Oversee all Academics in County Schools After more than a year without a fulltime academic chief, the School District of Palm Beach County has promoted a longtime expert in improving schools to the position. Glenda Sheffield, south instructional superintendent for secondary schools, was recently named to the position, which was held by Keith Oswald, who was wearing two hats as deputy superintendent and chief academic officer. The School Board members are expected to approve her appointment at their June meeting. In her new position as chief academic officer, Sheffield will be responsible for creating goals for schools, training and recruiting teachers and principals, and overseeing academic strategy to meet state academic requirements. She will report directly to the superintendent. She is seasoned, experienced and well qualified having served in various capacities as teacher, assistant principal, and principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels. As principal, Sheffield successfully closed the achievement gap with

low performing students at all three levels. She also increased the high school graduation rate from 82 percent to 89.9 percent within a four year period. Sheffield previously was served as principal of William T. Dwyer High School in Jupiter, H.L. Watkins Middle School in suburban Palm Beach Gardens, and Bethune Elementary in Riviera Beach. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Administration from Voorhees College, a private, historically black college in Denmark, South Carolina; a Master of Education in Business Education from Bowling Green State University, a large, public research university in Ohio, and an Educational Specialist in Educational Leadership and Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. She also is a former participant of the Harvard University Principal Leadership Academy. I have observed Doc’s leadership since her days at Dwyer and in speaking with people who know her well, it is evident that she thrives

on new opportunities and is a transformational leader who has a deep understanding of effective classroom teaching, student-focused instruction, and school leadership that will help our students and educators succeed.

Thank a Cop This Week for Keeping Everyone Safe, Secure If you take notice recently, you will see that your local police officer or sheriff ’s deputy is wearing a black and blue band over his or her badge. That’s because, this week, law enforcement officers are honoring their comrades who have died or who have been disabled in the line of duty. Earlier this week, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund formally enshrined the names of 371 law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty — including two from Delray Beach Police Department, Officer John Kennedy and

Sergeant Adam Rosenthal — during the 31st Annual Candlelight Vigil on the National Mall. Last year 158 officers were killed in the line of duty. To date this year, 42 made the sacrifice. You can do your part to “Show Appreciation to a Cop” by sending the chief of police a letter detailing how one of his officers helped you. You may also pick up the tab for an officer dining at the restaurant with you. Let the waiter know your desire, without letting the officer know. Also, please remember their families and loved ones who have carried on after their sacrifice. Whatever you do, make sure you reach out to the men and women who proudly wear the badge to show your sincere gratitude and appreciation sometime this week. Our law enforcement officers will and have consistently acted on our behalf regardless of great peril and hazard to themselves. We enjoy a level of peace, safety and freedom that other nations are rightfully envious of as our police enforce our laws.

You Can’t Postpone the Future! Days, seasons, and years won’t ever cease from making their entrance at the time they are supposed to appear. Time has its own unique, regular pace, and will never slow it down just to satisfy your personal ambitions.“Tempus fugit” is an old Latin expression which simply reminds us that time flies! Only those who understand such reality will move in life with a sense of urgency, fulfilling their tasks and heading toward the future! Each new day arrives precisely when it is supposed to come. With the succession of time, the future continues to arrive daily to

May 24 - May 30, 2019

every member of the human race, everywhere around the globe. Personal perceptions may vary, but time remains the same in its perennial unfolding! Although people’s understanding of time and its use may vary from culture to culture, time will never be different in certain nations of earth as it is in others. It’s just what persons choose to do with their hours and days that vary, to the advantage of many or to the disappointment of some! All these obvious affirmations should simply remind every human, anywhere in the world, that you can’t postpone the

future; it will continue to arrive every day, everywhere, bringing much that’s already expected, but also carrying all kinds of surprises, both good and bad! Most individuals who complain of running out of time while chasing a dream or opportunity, in the production of a task still lacking completion, or in seriously budgeting the moments necessary to achieve their goals realistically, can offer no valid argument. As author John L. Mason wisely observed, “the person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other finds

www.bocaratontribune.com

an excuse.” Which of these two paths are you traversing? Which of them are you earnestly pursuing, to bring you genuine success or to lead you into unnecessary disappointment? Always remember that now is the only time available to you! Use it productively, creatively, and with the ever-present recognition that you cannot postpone the future, for it will continue to arrive when you may least expect it! May your dreams be fulfilled on time, in a pleasant manner, and each of your responsibilities completed according to plan!

Who Cares Where You Went To School? “What kind of work do you do?” This is a question we typically ask someone we have just met, maybe during a business trip or in a coffee shop. It’s a way of getting acquainted. People also ask, “Where did you go to school?” or, “What college did you attend?” Sometimes those questions come up during a job interview. They may provide interesting information, but are not always relevant to job competency. Before starting my career, I enrolled in a major university’s school of journalism. I earned bachelor and master’s degrees in journalism, but learned more about writing and editing in my first few months as a newspaper editor than I had the entire five years I was in college. Most of the theoretical knowledge I accumulated in school had no practical application for my day-today work responsibilities. As Seth Godin, an author, entrepreneur and blogger, observed, “The campus you spent four years on 30 years ago makes very little contribution to the job you are going to do. Here is what matters: The way you approach your work. What have you built? What have you led? How do you make decisions?… How do you act when no one is looking? You are not your resume. You are the trail you have left behind, the people you have influenced, the work you have done.” There is much wisdom in what Godin says. Having an MBA from a prominent business college or degree from a prestigious university sounds impressive, but neither addresses the inner qualities needed for a high-quality staff member or leader. We want to know someone’s track record: What they accomplished and what experience they have, particularly as it relates to the job they are seeking. Even more important than what we have done, I think, are how we approach our work and how we behave when no one is looking. The Bible’s

book of Proverbs has much to say about this: Approaching our work with a high level of dedication. The surest way to build a successful career, or to advance a company’s goals, is to work with diligence and determination, responding to opportunities when they present themselves.“Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son” (Proverbs 10:4-5). Working with excellence and effectiveness. A person who strives to achieve the highest level of quality is rare in society today. Since many people seem satisfied with mediocrity, skilled workers that take pride in what they are asked to do tend to be noticed. “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men”(Proverbs 22:29). Putting a priority on honesty. Sometimes it seems tempting to misrepresent vital information to gain a sale or win a contract, but as we often read in the headlines or hear in the daily news reports, dishonest practices eventually are exposed and consequences paid. “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment” (Proverbs12:19). “Differing weights and differing measures – the Lord detests them both” (Proverbs 20:10). Becoming known for commitment to integrity. Another form of temptation is to behave differently when we think no one is looking, compared to when we know our actions are under scrutiny. A person of integrity, however, is one whose public and private behavior remain constant. “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9). “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity”(Proverbs 11:3).

Women In Distress Starfish Luncheon Raises Over $317,000 Long-time community partners that have championed service for survivors of domestic violence -- Broward College and Memorial Healthcare System -- along with a survivor who now is a small business entrepreneur, were honored at the Women In Distress 13th Annual Starfish Luncheon on May 9 at Signature Grand in Davie raising a record $317,000. Major sponsors were Premier Sponsor Lorraine Thomas together with Presenting Sponsors JM Family Enterprises/Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC and Ultimate Software and more than 50 sponsors and table hosts, the event drew more than 500 community and business leaders to support free and confidential programs for adults and children affected by family violence. Additional event sponsors included: Broward College, Easy 93.1., Holy Cross, Memorial Healthcare System, Miami Dolphins, Northern Trust, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Kauffman Lynn Construction, Office Depot, and The Thomas Family Foundation. A challenge grant from the Leo Goodwin Foundation and a contribution from Philadelphia Insurance Company matched donations made at the luncheon up to $20,000, helping Women in Distress (WID) surpass its goal for the event which also included a large silent auction with many unique items up for bid. Broward College President Gregory Adam Haile, Esq. accepted one of the community awards on behalf of the more than 60,000 students and faculty at Broward College and shared how he personally was affected by seeing family violence as a young child. Nina Beauchesne, Executive Vice President East Operations recounted the many ways Memorial and its employees have provided health services, volunteer leadership and financial support for families served by Women In Distress for more than 20 years. Each year at the Starfish luncheon, Women In Distress also honors a survivor

who is a participant at the agency. This year it was presented to a young woman helped by WID who started a baking business. She is the recipient of the first Marti Huizenga Endowment for Educational Advancement Scholarship and plans to attend a culinary program at Florida International University (FIU). The scholarship endowment was created two years ago by a local couple, Dennis and Lois Doyle, to honor the memory of Marti Huizenga and assist survivors with education and training. “Our Starfish luncheon is a special opportunity to share the progress we are making as a community in addressing the issues surrounding domestic violence and how deeply it is affecting our families and our children,” said Mary Riedel, President and CEO of Women In Distress. “It also highlights the need to do more and this year the response and generosity was amazing. More women, men and children are being helped as a result.” The annual Starfish Luncheon event helps Women In Distress provide free and confidential services in multiple languages to families affected by domestic violence, such as: a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, counseling and therapy services, Injunction-for-Protection legal services, prevention and education services for the community and Broward County’s first pet shelter for families affected by domestic violence. The Women In Distress Jim and Jan Moran Family Center campus is located in Deerfield Beach and includes the Leo Goodwin Foundation Outreach Building. Services also are provided at several site throughout Broward County including the main courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Last year, Women In Distress provided more than 33,000 nights of safe shelter, answered nearly 27,000 calls to its 24-Hour Crisis Hotline and provided 21,000 hours of counseling and therapy.

PBSC Respiratory Care Program Earns National Award

Palm Beach State College’s Respiratory Care Associate in Science degree program has been recognized as one of the top programs in the U.S. with at least 90% of its graduates passing the national credentialing exam. Out of approximately 460 programs nationwide, Palm Beach State’s is one of 139 to receive the Distinguished RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist) Credentialing Success Award from the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care. CoARC, the nonprofit accreditation organization that assures the academic quality of degree-granting respiratory care programs, presents the award annually to highlight the value of the RRT credential as the profession’s standard of excellence. Graduates of CoARC-accredited programs in the U.S. are eligible to take the RRT credentialing exam administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care, and upon passing, become registered respiratory therapists. In addition to documenting an RRT exam pass rate of 90% or above, awardees must have three or more years of outcomes data; hold CoARC accreditation without citations; and meet or exceed rigorous CoARC thresholds for certified respiratory therapist (CRT) credentialing success, retention and on-time graduation rates. PBSC also received the award in 2015. “It’s a great honor to once again receive this prestigious honor by our accrediting body,” said Nancy Latimer, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Respiratory Care program. “Our graduates are in demand at health care facilities throughout Palm Beach County and the nation, providing critical care to patients suffering from breathing disorders. The award also shines a light on our dedicated faculty, as well as the clinical preceptors, supervisors and department managers at our clinical sites, who prepare the students to pass the RRT exam and excel in this challenging field.”

www.bocaratontribune.com

Latimer will receive a certificate of recognition during a reception to be held July 20 at the American Association for Respiratory Care Summer Forum in Fort Lauderdale. Based on the Palm Beach Gardens campus, the Respiratory Care A.S. degree program was the first of its kind in Palm Beach County when it began in 1989. Edward W. Willey, the program’s first director of clinical education, currently serves as dean of academic affairs for the Palm Beach Gardens campus and will soon move into the same role for the Belle Glade and Loxahatchee Groves campuses. Willey stresses the impact of the Respiratory Care program’s advisory board members, many of whom were his students and now hold management positions at Palm Beach County hospitals. “Our advisory board and community partners have always been integral to the program’s success,” Willey said. “In addition to their time and expertise, they provide our students with exceptional clinical internships at their facilities, where they personally offer guidance and mentorship. It all adds up to results—our students graduate on time, pass their boards and launch successful careers in this field.” As in many health care professions, the aging population is expected to drive the need for respiratory therapists, who serve patients with breathing problems, such as asthma, pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The profession is expected to grow 23 percent by 2026, and in 2018, respiratory therapists took home an average salary of $60,280, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In addition to its CoARC accreditation, the Respiratory Care program is recognized by the American Medical Association.

Corts Award Winner Living Her Dream When Dr. Suzanne Cardona left the University of Alabama at Birmingham 10 years ago, it was for her dream job teaching here. Cardona ’99 had passed up the opportunity of realizing that dream once before, when Dr. Gary Goss called her with news of a job opening as she was preparing to deliver her first child. But some nine months later, he called again to say he hadn’t found the right person to fill the spot. Would she be interested? “It was my pie in the sky dream that I could come back and teach,” said Cardona, associate professor of biology. “God got me here anyway. He made it happen.” Cardona recently completed her tenth year of teaching at PBA, an accomplishment accentuated by winning the Charles & Hazel Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching. She is the third PBA graduate to win the award for University faculty. She joins 2016 winner Pam Sigafoose ’93 M.S. ’96, assistant professor of education in the Catherine T. MacArthur School of Leadership, and 2009 winner Dr. Thomas J. St. Antoine ’93, director of the Frederick M. Supper Honors Program. Dr. Paul R. Corts and his wife Diane established an endowment fund to provide the award in honor of his parents and in recognition of their commitment to higher education. Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. E. Randolph Richards surprised Cardona by naming her the award recipient in front of her colleagues and

students at a special honors chapel last month. “It was shocking. It was incredibly humbling, and I was so honored,” Cardona said. “It’s almost hard to put into words.” In introducing Cardona, Richards highlighted feedback from her students: “If you’re willing to work hard, this professor is willing to work hard with you every step of the way.” Students said she makes herself available to provide extra help in her welcoming office and even makes breakfast for them on exam days. Dr. Suzanne Cardona poses for a photo with Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. E. Randolph Richards after he named her as the recipient of the Charles & Hazel Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching.Moreover, she keeps Christ at the center of the curriculum. While “a lot of the integration is me just being who I am in Christ” by showing her students His love and praying with them, she also prompts them to consider ethical and faith questions related to designer babies, contraception

and three-parent babies. Sometimes she will ask students to write devotionals about the subject matter. Cardona dreamed of teaching at PBA because of the profound impact the faculty had on her when she was an undergraduate student from 1995 to 1999. “I was so well-prepared by the Supper Honors Program and the science faculty,” she said. “I knew I wanted to come back and be a part of that tradition of training students for their next steps.” Cardona went on to earn her doctoral degree in cell and molecular physiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After finishing her doctorate, she was a postdoctoral associate in the Vision Science Research Center of University of Alabama at Birmingham, where her research focused on the biochemical characterization of mutations in the dim-light photoreceptor that leads to blinding diseases. She served as co-director of the Industry Roundtable at UAB that showcased traditional and non-traditional career opportunities for scientists.

At PBA, she trained two students in molecular techniques to replicate two mutations that cause the blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. She has also helped Grassy Waters Preserve collect invasive apple snails to see if the critters harbor any bacteria that are pathogenic to humans and that could enter the water supply. But she is most joyful when she describes connecting with her students on a more personal level. About those breakfasts on exam days? Cardona tries to make homemade treats — banana bread and breakfast casseroles, for example — because she knows many of her students are away from home for the first time and haven’t had home cooking in a while. She and her husband will host her “kids” at their Palm Springs home, where they enjoy chili and s’mores. It gives them an opportunity to see that Cardona is “actually a full human being and not just a professor.” The couple has two children, a 10-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter. She has kept in touch with students and mentored them outside of the classroom. Draped on the bookshelves in her office are the commencement stoles of two students that she supported as they experienced broken relationships with their mothers. “It was my honor and privilege to fill that role for them,” Cardona said. “I love my kids. It doesn’t matter whether they’re 25 or not. I tell them that.”

Women’s Tennis Ends 2018-19 Season Ranked No. 66

The Florida Atlantic University women’s tennis team began 2019 as an unknown and ended the year ranked No. 66 by ITA Tennis Association, as announced Wednesday. The national rank is the first time the Owls have broken into the country’s top 75 since 2004 and it is just the sixth time FAU has been included in the final rankings since moving to NCAA Division I in 199394 (No. 58 – 1997, No. 48 – 2000, No. 52 – 2001, No. 68 – 2003, No. 73 – 2004). “Yeah, FAU women’s tennis,” said head coach Marcy Cava. “Coaching this team has been enjoyable for both Caroline and I. They are a joy to be around. They are young and on their way to making history for women’s tennis at FAU. Over the last year, Caroline and I set goals and we are achieving them, one goal was to finish ahead of FIU (No. 75), a local rival. We are honored to be part of such an awesome athletic department, which is improving by leaps and bounds with this new administration.” The Owls held a No. 3 seed heading into the Conference USC Chapionship and that seeding held with the Owls ending 2019 ranked the third highest among C-USA institutions behind No. 40 Rice, which FAU fell to in the C-USA Championship semifinals and No. 41 Old Dominion, which FAU did not face in 2019. In the final ITA poll, the Owls faced off against six teams ranked above them, including Rice, and tallied a 2-4 record versus those schools. FAU had regular-season wins over No. 33 Princeton and No. 53 USF, but fell to No. 15 FSU in the season opener, No. 19 Miami in the home opener, and to No. 30 Syracuse. The Owls entered January

with four returners and welcomed five newcomers, with one sitting out the year due to transfer rules. By the end of January they had played three teams, two ranked in the nation’s top 20 and the third ranked at No. 53, as well as hosting their first tournament since the on-campus courts opened 2016. The five newcomers represented four countries, and for all but one, it was their first time attending school within the United States. Each of the four eligible players became an every day member of the lineup blending with the Owls’ lone upperclassman, senior Kristen Thoms, and the Owls’ top returner in sophomore Natalia Boltinskaya. Freshman newcomer Martina Kudelova moved up the lineup ending her freshman campaign with a 13-4 record and an eight-match win streak. The freshman, who rose in the national ranking to No. 73, ended her first collegiate season as a C-USA First Team singles honoree, as an All-Freshman honoree and as the 2019 C-USA Freshman of the Year. Transfer Natalie Kallmunzerova fought her way through the season playing on courts 2-5. Her efforts saw the sophomore earn All-Conference Second Team singles honors. The Owls will return Kudelova at No. 1, Boltinskaya at No. 2, Kallmunzerova at No. 3, May Kimhi at No. 4, and Barbora Palcatova on court No. 5; however, expect battles on each court and the insertion of Camilla Ramazzini, as well as newcomers ready to join FAU and its coaching staff as they work towards their 2019-20 goals. The final individual singles/ doubles rankings will be announced May 29.

2019 Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl Moves to New Day, Time and Network

After spending five years on the Tuesday evening before Christmas and being aired on ESPN, the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl will be in a different place on the calendar and dial this year. The 2019 edition will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 21, and will be televised on ABC. The game will be played at FAU Stadium on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and will be carried nationally on ESPN Radio and locally on ESPN 106.3. “Cheribundi is proud to be back as the title sponsor and official muscle recovery drink for our third Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl,” said Cheribundi CEO Steve Pear. “The Boca Raton and Palm Beach County communities are a topnotch location to host one of the most exciting ESPN bowls of the season. Cheribundi is part of the daily training regimen for over 265 professional and collegiate sports teams, providing muscle recovery, boosting immunity and improving sleep.” All five of the previous Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl games have taken place on the Tuesday evening immediately prior to Christmas, meaning the Saturday afternoon kickoff is a new day and time for the game. The calendar for the 2019 college football bowl season is significantly later than it has been in past years, impacted by Thanksgiving falling on November 28 and conference football championship games taking place on the weekend of December 6-7. That meant the bowl schedule couldn’t start until Friday, December 20, and the day where the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl had

traditionally taken place – the Tuesday before Christmas – would be Christmas Eve this year. “This will be our first opportunity to play the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl under the beautiful Florida sunshine,” said Doug Mosley, Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl executive director. “While we really enjoy our traditional Tuesday evenings for the game, this year we will move ‘Boca’s biggest annual outdoor party’ onto what is typically a perfect-weather day during that time of year.” The 2019 Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl will select its two participating teams from its three partner conferences: Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference and the American Athletic Conference. The bowl week activities will include beach parties, pep rallies, a kickoff luncheon, community outreach and other activities throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. “We’re eager to welcome a national network audience to Boca Raton for this year’s game,” said Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer. “We look forward to showcasing our beautiful city on ABC and enjoy yet another successful Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl.” “We are excited to kick off the holiday tourism season in Palm Beach County with the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl at FAU, in partnership with the City of Boca Raton and ESPN,” said Verdenia Baker, Palm Beach County Administrator. “This is our opportunity to showcase the Palm Beaches as the ‘Perfect Place’ to experience our lifestyle sports destination.”
