Read Together 2019 Book Announced

Described as a beguiling, heart-wrenching and funny work of art, this year’s Read Together Palm Beach County book is The One-in-a-Million Boy by Monica Wood. The story revolves around a friendship between a 104-yearold Lithuanian immigrant woman and an 11-year-old Boy Scout obsessed with Guinness world records.

The Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County kicked off the “Read Together Palm Beach County” campaign at its annual Mayors’ Literacy Initiative Luncheon, where the book was announced. The campaign is aimed at getting adults throughout the county to read the same book at the same time. The goal is to get people engaged in discussing the themes of the book and to help entice those who can read, but seldom do, to get in the habit of reading again.

Copies of the book are available through the Literacy Coalition for a $10 donation.

Many of the county and municipal libraries also have ordered additional copies of the book to have in circulation.

COMMUNITY TEN Spring Water Becomes #2 Top-Selling Alkaline Water in Bulk

TEN Spring Water’s 1-gallon jug is now the #7 top-selling SKU in Enhanced Water in the U.S., catapulting the brand into the #2 position in terms of bulk water in the category (Nielsen: Total U.S. Food – Value Add Water).

The data examines alkaline water brands and is representative of the previous 52 weeks ending August 10, 2019.

“Our 1-gallon jug continues to be among the fastest-growing SKUs in the entire category, and the strong sales is reflective of the growing consumer trend towards larger bulk sizes,” said TEN founder Jose Fernandez. “Our customers spoke and we answered their call with not only a 1-gallon bottle but also a new 1.5-liter size launched this year. Meeting the needs of our loyal customers will always be our top priority.”

TEN Spring Water continues to land shelf positions at the major supermarket retailers. The 1-gallon jug currently has widespread retail availabil-

ity at marquee grocery chains including Publix, Food Lion, Brookshires, Ingles, Food City, and Whole Foods. Other TEN retailers include Wegmans, Albertsons, The Fresh Market, United, Market Street and more. TEN offers a premium, high-quality product to consumers with its BPA free, PET recyclable bottles and the highest pH available among bottled waters with a stable pH of 10.

TEN Spring Water is naturally filtered in the foothills of the Great Appalachian Valley, in underwater caves deep below the earth’s surface.

These caves are natural quartzite and granite aquifers with rock so dense they naturally filter the water to an incredibly pure state, free of chemicals, impurities or pollution.

In addition to being sold in thousands of supermarkets, TEN is also available online at Amazon.com, Luckyvitamins.com, and Walmart.com.

District Votes to Pursue Third-Party Funding for Boca National Golf Course Project

The Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District (The District) voted on Monday to pursue a bond, most of which will fund the development of Boca Raton’s new public golf course to be built at the former site of Ocean Breeze.

“We want to ensure Boca Raton residents have the best facilities at a reasonable cost.

After spending 24 months researching the project, we are eager to move ahead with the Boca National Golf Course, giving Boca Raton residents the destination facility they requested,” District Commissioner Bob Rollins said.

Complying with a request from the City of Boca Raton, the District spent two years researching what city residents wanted from their new course.

The District vetted 17 golf course designers and, with community feedback, contracted with renowned designers Nick Price and Tom Fazio (Price/ Fazio) to design a facility that includes an 18-hole course, a 11-hole short course, practice facilities, a learning center and a temporary clubhouse, all of which will be open to the public.

When completed, Boca National would immediately become one of the premier public golf facilities in the nation.

Price/Fazio submitted their designs four months ago. Since that time, the District and the City of Boca Raton have been in discussions over project funding. Many City officials want to

finance a scaled back version of the approximately $20 million project, thereby eliminating some of the features that make the project special.

“This facility will revitalize the north end of our city, from Yamato Rd., north,” Boca Raton resident Angelo Sands told the commission at Monday’s hearing. “We pride ourselves in Boca Raton of being a first-class city.

Well, first-class city means you have first-class facilities.”

With City and District officials once again unable to reach agreement on project funding last week, the five District commissioners voted unanimously to consult with the financial firm Ford and Associates to research third-party terms for financing the entire project.

If the District elects to finance the entire project via a bond, Boca Raton, which owns a portion of the land, still has to approve the design.

During a May hearing between the District and City, Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer indicated approval shouldn’t be a problem as long as the District was not requesting finances from the City.

The pursuit of a bond by the District makes this feasible.

Upon plan approval, the District expects the project to be completed within two years.

Originally developed as Boca Teeca Country Club in the late 1960s, Boca Raton and the District purchased the land in 2018.

A New Design is Coming for I-95 Glades Road Interchange

MORE THAN JUST

THE TRASH,

CLEAN

BATHROOMS,

By: Christina Hristoforidis

Following the announcement that there will be on-going construction on the Florida Turnpike, I-95 from Glades Road to Linton Boulevard will also be under construction.

On Monday, the Florida Department of Transportation announced their I-95 Glades Road interchange project.

The design consists of a brand new diverging diamond interchange, allowing for a safer and more money-savvy option.

September 27 - October 3, 2019

According to WPTV, the FDOT states the divergent diamond interchange will present drivers with less time at traffic lights and a smoother transition.

The design seeks to get rid of on and off looks to I-95 and replace them with a cross over into westbound and eastbound sides of the bridge. This will give drivers the option to get on 95 north or south or continue onto Glades Road.

The construction is set to begin in January of 2020 and will not begin till the Palmetto Park bridge is first completed.

West Boca High School Chorus Needs Your Financial Support

Should the average parent or taxpayer in Boca Raton care whether we have a great music program in the schools — or any music program at all, for that matter?

Music is a nice idea, but is it essential? And given our schools’ focus on having all students achieve standards in reading, writing and math, can we afford to spend time on something like music?

I say, “Yes” to all three - music should be part of every child’s education.

Every year dozens of our students who participate in band and orchestra cannot afford to rent or buy their instruments.

But there is an even greater challenge facing them: so many people are reluctant to support it financially.

That’s why the West Boca High School Chorus is holding a fundraiser. This is the second year that The Boca Raton Tribune is urging you to support them.

“Your generous support will help us offer a higher quality music experience for all of our students and families involved,” Catherine Briggs, the group’s leader, wrote in a post on their campaign webpage. “Your donation is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt via email for

your generous gift. If you could, please spread the word about our fundraiser by sharing it with your friends via email, text and social media - we would greatly appreciate it! We strive to create high quality music experiences that bring pride to our school and local community.”

Donations will be used to buy sheet music, uniform maintenance, festival fees, transportation, voice lesson scholarships and awards, among other necessities.

The choirs are largely self-funded.

Typically, many public-school music programs have little to no official budget, so they must rely on teacher out-of-pocket spending, fundraisers or support through parent-teacher organizations.

For years, music classes have been the ugly ducklings of school curriculums.

When school districts must make budget cuts, music and arts programs are often the last courses to be added and the first on the chopping block.

It is both interesting and so disheartening that many people never think about how the artists – who soothes our hearts with such melodious sounds – often achieve their status.

It takes money to pay for practice sessions to eventually read the sheet music and to play those instruments.

Let’s face it, music is always around us.

We do not do anything without music. We get music, just by turning on our TVs or radios, our ringtones and even the nursery rhymes. Yet, we often take it for granted that it’s going to be there.

Through your donations all of Briggs’ vocal music students will receive a high quality and comprehensive music experience this year.

“I was really hoping to gain your support. If making a gift is not something you are able to do at this time, then please consider sharing the fundraiser to any of your peers who may be interested,” Kamryn Mills, a graduating senior and president of the KOP Mentoring Network, wrote in an email to me.

Last year, I matched up to the first $100 that she raised and this year I am making every effort to ensure she meets her goal of $500. I encourage you to also invest wisely in this child. Along with being an outstanding student academically, she is disciplined, polite and very appreciative

of everything she gets.

“Thank you so much and I really appreciate all of your help! Your support will help make this season one to remember,” she continued.

Educators say that music opportunities such as jazz band and orchestra ensembles give students a chance to connect outside of the classroom. They also give staff an opportunity to showcase talented student groups while offering the community opportunities to see live performances.

Music education is such an important piece of the puzzle that helps us prepare students for life.

Studies also suggest that those who learn music score better on math tests, which supports my theory of why music education should be a required component in all schools because of the proven academic, social, and personal benefits it provides.

With Boca Raton being a caring and generous community that sees the value in music education, let us do our part to help fill that need for some of our children.

POSITIVE LIVING

What Followers Expect of Their Leaders

Most leaders have specific expectations. They often communicate, whether orally, in writing, or both, what they expect of those that report to them. They provide job descriptions, set goals and objectives, and determine the parameters that define when, where and how they are to perform their job responsibilities. But how often do we consider that followers might rightfully have expectations of their leaders?

Max DePree, the late entrepreneur, business executive and writer, offered this perspective:

“Any follower has a right to ask things of a leader. Here are several questions that leaders should expect to hear: What may I expect from you? Can I achieve my own goals by following you? Will I reach my potential by working with you?

Have you bothered to prepare yourself for leadership? What do you believe?”

A common perspective is that followers – employees, staff, and team mem-

September 27 - October 3, 2019

bers – are there primarily for the benefit of the leader. However, authorities on the business and professional world like DePree have long contended that equally so, the leader is there for the benefit of the followers. Many renowned leaders say one of their foremost desires is to assist those that work for them in maximizing their potential and fulfillment.

My first job was as a grocery clerk, working on a local supermarket’s night crew. I was assigned a specific aisle and the responsibility for keeping the shelves stocked, sweeping and mopping the floor, and making certain the aisle looked presentable for shoppers the next morning. The night crew manager, a fellow named Joe, could have spent the night in his office, but every evening would work alongside one of us in our respective aisles.

One night I asked Joe why he worked with us, helping us to do our jobs, rather than just giving us our instructions

and making sure we did our work properly.

His answer was profound: “I will never ask anyone to do anything that I am not willing to do.” That, long before the term became popular, was my first exposure to servant leadership.

I did not ask the manager any of the questions DePree suggested, but from that simple response, I knew Joe had my best interests at heart, as well as those of my fellow workers.

The concept of a leader that serves his or her followers was not originated by DePree, or Robert K. Greenleaf, the author of Servant Leadership. It was stated explicitly by Jesus Christ. He said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45).

Jesus also made the curious statement, “and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” (Matthew 20:27).

These declarations were made by

www.bocaratontribune.com

the One of whom the Bible says, “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2). That, without question, is the epitome of servant leadership.

That is not all the Bible says about how are we as leaders to serve others.

The leader who puts the needs and interests of others first will inspire followers to give their best, including their loyalty. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

As Jesus said, it is “more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). One reason is because when we give – putting others first – we also receive. In the workplace, this often means serving others, who in turn are willing to give their best to those for whom they are working.

FAITH

By Charlotte Beasley

By Rick Boxx

Black Hat Diva’s Birthday Celebration The Black Hat Diva’s enjoyed a beautiful luncheon at Novello Restaurant in Boca Raton. Twenty Five Diva’s helped Stephene Klein celebrate her birthday and we welcomed six new members to our group!

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 decisionmaking 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.

FAU Launches Florida’s First Master Of Science Degree In AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming virtually every segment of industry in the United States from agriculture to medicine. To be competitive, companies will have to embrace AI to some extent, which will require a workforce educated and highly trained in this quickly growing field.

To address these needs, Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science is launching the state’s first Master of Science with Major in AI (MSAI), administered by its Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This degree will prepare students for careers in various education, government and industry positions that require AI skills.

“As we are experiencing the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution that is defined by AI and autonomy, our state and nation strive to lead the world in AI-andautonomy-driven innovation. And, as there is hardly any industry that is not affected

by AI and autonomy, industry investments on AI and autonomy are reaching very high levels,” said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “Our College of Engineering and Computer Science is engaging in convergence engineering and science research to provide AI, machine learning and autonomy solutions to problems critical for the state and the nation. Pedagogy driven by research and development in our college led to our Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, which is the first such program in Florida. This innovative degree program and training curriculum will educate students and train professionals to develop new skills for jobs that are not yet defined and be part of the first generation of an AI-and-autonomy workforce.”

FAU’s MSAI program provides both thesis and non-thesis options and requires a minimum of 30 credits. Offered on FAU’s main campus in Boca Raton, the program includes a strong curriculum that consists of AI theory, methods and technologies, combined with major subfields of vision, data analytics and algorithms, knowledge management and reasoning, machine learning, and applications. The program’s graduate-level coursework will enable its graduates to enter Florida’s workforce with the capabilities needed to fill emerging needs. Students also will have laboratory training and access to state-of-the-art facilities, including FAU’s recently launched Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Laboratory, which is Florida’s first NSFfunded laboratory that serves as a training platform to support graduate student teaching and research.

“Students in our Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program will understand how AI works by combining data with fast, iterative processing and intelligent algorithms, allowing the software to learn from patterns or features of the

data,” said Mihaela Cardei, Ph.D., associate dean for graduate studies and a professor in FAU’s Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. “With our innovative curriculum, students will have a broad understanding of the theories, methods and technologies that provide the foundation of AI and will be able to take courses in major areas of specialty and applications in this field.”

Potential jobs within the AI field include political data scientists, survey statisticians, research analysts, intelligence data analysts, quantitative social scientists, software engineers, research analysts, and solution architects, among others. The median hourly regional and statewide earnings in the five most common occupations for master’s-level AI professionals exceeds the median hourly earnings across all occupations in Florida.

For example, computer and information research scientists earn a median of $51.25 an hour regionally, and $46.05 an hour statewide. Comparatively, workers in Florida earn a median hourly income of $16.07 per hour across all occupations. The potential for high earnings with a high return on investment will attract prospective students locally, regionally and nationally to FAU’s MSAI program.

“The new Master of Science with Major in Artificial Intelligence degree offered by our College of Engineering and Computer Science aligns well with Florida Atlantic University’s vision to provide outstanding graduate education and high quality programs in areas of strategic emphasis such as applied AI and big data analytics,” said Bret Danilowicz, Ph.D., FAU provost and vice president for academic affairs.

“This new program also will support our university-wide research pillars that include healthy aging, neuroscience, ocean and environmental science, and sensing and smart systems, which are expected to adopt AI methods and technologies to remain competitive.”

FAU’s MSAI program also will help to encourage minority and female students to pursue interests in the AI field.

Currently, less than 10 percent of AfricanAmerican, Hispanic and female students are involved in this field.

For the third year in a row, U.S. News & World Report recently included FAU on the list of the most ethnically diverse universities in the U.S. FAU’s “diversity index” score of .68 (out of 1.0) tied with 11 other institutions, including Princeton University and Carnegie Mellon University.

This score makes FAU the highest ranked public university in Florida for diversity. In addition, in 2017, the U.S. Department of Education designated FAU as a Hispanicserving Institution, only awarded to colleges and universities with enrollment of fulltime Hispanic undergraduate students of at least 25 percent.

25 FAU High Students Named National Merit Semifinalists

Twenty-five Florida Atlantic University High School students have been named semifinalists in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Competition. These high school seniors will now have the opportunity to compete for 7,500 National Merit scholarships worth more than $32 million. Out of the more than 800 public, private and charter high schools in the state of Florida, FAU High is tied for No. 3 in the state for national merit semifinalists.

To become a National Merit semifinalist, more than 1.6 million high school juniors took the 2019 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT). The highest-scoring entrants in each state were named semifinalists and represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors.

FAU High School students to earn this distinction include Diego Avendano, Lisa Campion, Yeramis Correlas Carmenate, Jack Elm, Nafi Faruki, Ranawalage Gomes, Adam Greer, Thomas Illiev, Manal Imran, Pedro Ivo Almeida, Lindsey Knowles, Benjamin Kramer, Jennifer Mendonca, Matthew Miller, Marla Minkoff, Ciara O’Neill, Sol-Be Park, Sagan Potenza, Kiran Shirazi, Joseph Somerdin, Manasa Tallapaneni, Divya Uppal, Elijah Villafane, Yasmine Zerrouki, and Chelsea Zuvieta.

September 27 - October 3, 2019

"We are so proud of the 25 students recognized as semifinalists and the 19 students recognized as commended scholars in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Competition," said Joel Herbst, Ed.D., assistant dean, PK-12 Schools and Educational Programs at FAU. This cohort represents the largest group of semifinalists and commended scholars from FAU High School since the school's opening in 2004."

To become a National Merit finalist, each semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes their academic record, extracurricular activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, honors and awards. They also must be endorsed by a high school official, write an essay and perform well on the SAT. Finalists will be notified in February 2020, and the 2020 National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced next summer.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is a not-for-profit organization that identifies and honors academically talented U.S. high school students.

Since its founding in 1955, NMSC has recognized more than 3.3 million students and provided more than $1.7 billion in scholarships.

Army veteran selected as new PBSC student trustee

John Smith, the director of communications for Duffy’s Management, Inc., has been named the new Palm Beach State College student trustee for the 2019-20 academic year.

Smith, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in project management, was chosen from 10 students who interviewed for the job.

“Accessibility is why I chose to attend PBSC and is what I hope to continue to strengthen in my role as student trustee,” said Smith. “PBSC made it easy for me to start school with flexible class schedules, great locations and an incredibly supportive staff. I hope to help make this education even more attainable and enjoyable for others.”

Smith, who is the 19th student to serve in the role, attended his first District Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 10. He will help bring current student voices and perspectives into the conversations and decisions made by the board. In addition to monthly trustee meetings, he will represent students at other major College events throughout the year such as graduation and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.

Originally from Indiantown, Fla., Smith joined the U.S. Army after graduating from South Fork High School. He served three years in the infantry and then started classes at Palm Beach State. However, he stopped at age 27 after his career took off and mother, who was his ultimate cheerleader, passed away.

It wasn’t until he attended his brother Larry’s graduation ceremony at

www.bocaratontribune.com

Auburn University that things changed.

“I saw all these people getting their degrees including my brother who was really encouraging me to go back and get one as well,” Smith said. “I remember having a desire to finish what I started and thinking what am I waiting for. I would not be where I am today if he hadn’t given me that push.”

Smith enrolled at PBSC again and graduated with his Associate in Arts degree last year. He has been a member of the Lake Worth Veteran’s Club and has managed to juggle his studies with a fulltime job. Since 2004, he has been working at Duffy’s Sports Grill first as a waiter and now as head of the communications department.

Smith was chosen by a committee after an application and interview process open to all PBSC students with at least a 3.0 grade point average and at least 24 credit hours completed.

“John was selected because we really saw his excitement and appreciation for the College and believe he will bring lots of outstanding qualities and knowledge to his service as a trustee,” said Honors College Manager Marcella Montesinos who served on the committee. “Not only did he gain a wealth of experience serving our country, but he had the courage to come back to school after adversity all while managing a full-time job and a family. Many of our students are or will be in the same position so he will be relatable and a great example to help them succeed.”

FAU’s International Business Program Ranked In Top 25

Florida Atlantic University College of Business’ International Business (IB) undergraduate program is ranked No. 25 in the country in the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings.

This marks the first time the program has made the top 25 in the U.S. News “Best Colleges” rankings, which were released earlier this week.

“All of the international business faculty and staff at FAU, as well as our stakeholders, have worked hard over the past several years to improve our IB program,” said SBA Distinguished Professor Len Treviño, Ph.D., director of FAU’s International Business program. “We are delighted to receive this recognition and it motivates us to reach even higher to support our students with a world-class IB education.”

FAU’s Department of Management Programs offers two types of International Business undergraduate programs. The first type is the Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business. In this program, the student completes the requirements of the Department of Management as well as the core business courses taken by all majors in the College of Business. The second type of program is a Bachelors of Science in Management with a concentration in International Business. The goal of the program is to provide students with a highly focused degree in the science of International Business.

FAU was joined at No. 25 by the University of Miami, Bryant University and the University of San Diego. The University of South Carolina was at the top of this year’s rankings, followed by Florida International University at No. 2.

“I am proud of this recognition for FAU and the work done by our director of the IB program, Len Treviño, and our excellent faculty,” said Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Business. “South Florida is fortunate to have three business schools with IB programs ranked in the top 30.”

A full member in the Consortium for Undergraduate International Business Education, FAU’s International Business program enrolled 185 students during the 2018-2019 academic year, with 75 graduates.

In the last two years, in addition to standing exchange and participation opportunities with schools in 13 countries, students in the program have had the ability to participate in College of Business faculty-led study abroad programs in Argentina, China, Costa Rica, South Africa and Uruguay.

Both a business field as well as a social science field, the international business major provides relevant training for a wide variety of careers. Graduates can look forward to many popular jobs: financial analyst, accountant, controller, project manager, business analyst, banker, business process consultant, or personal banker, to name a few.

At the graduate level, in Fall 2020, the College of Business will reestablish a Master’s of International Business degree program.

“The ranking of our undergraduate IB program in the top 25 validates the work that has been underway for several years in the College of Business,” said Roland Kidwell, Ph.D., chair of FAU’s Department of Management Programs and DeSantis Distinguished Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship. “We are inspired by the recognition and will continue to improve our programs in international business.”

SPORTS Cunningham Joins PBA Athletic Training Staff

Sean Cunningham joined PBA as an Assistant Athletic Trainer in the fall of 2019.

Cunningham comes to the Sailfish after a 14-year stint as the Head Athletic Trainer for the Miami Marlins. In his time with the Marlins, Cunningham monitored all aspects of medical care for major league players, oversaw all aspects of the strength and conditioning programs, coordinated physician care needs for all players, designed and implemented organizational nutritional educational guidelines, supervised a 15-person staff and assessed injury risk factors for team roster personnel and potential draft and free agent signings.

"After spending 30 years in professional baseball, I am thankful for the opportunity to work in collegiate athletics. I am excited for the new challenges and experiences at Palm Beach Atlantic University," Cunningham said.

Before joining the Marlins, Cunningham was the Major League Strength & Conditioning and Team Travel Coordinator for the Montreal Expos from

1997-2001 where he designed the Expos' entire strength and conditioning program, managed facilities and developed training protocols for 200+ athletes. Cunningham totaled 10 years working for the Expos organization at various levels of the organization. Other notable experiences for Cunningham include being the Athletic Trainer for the 2010 National League All-Star team and for the Puerto Rican National Team at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

PBA Head Athletic Trainer Michelle Menard is glad to add Cunningham to her team. "Sean has been a great addition to our staff and his background with professional baseball has been a good learning opportunity for our students and athletes," Menard said.

Cunningham earned his master's degree in exercise science in 1994 from Florida Atlantic University. He also has a bachelor's in physical education/sport medicine from Canisius College. Cunningham was published twice by The American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine in 2012.

Antoine’s Record Setting Game Earns C-USA Honors

Deangelo Antoine has been named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league on Monday.

Antoine's honor is the second C-USA Player of the Week award in as many weeks and after as many victories for the Owls. Last week, Rashad Smith got the nod for his defensive efforts and this week it is was bestowed to the offensive side.

Antoine, the first FAU wide receiver to earn C-USA player of the week honors, joined the Owls after a four-year playing career at USF, where he saw time at both receiver and defensive back. Last week, the graduate transfer was asked to move from wide receiver to slot and the move was not only breakout, it was record-breaking. Antoine, who has also been named the C-USA Offensive Player

of the Week by College Sports Madness, found the end zone in 36% of his catches, as he went for 11 receptions for 173 yards and four touchdowns.

His four TDs marked just the eighth time in C-USA's 25-year history that a player has caught four or more TDs in a game. Two players have caught five and Antoine is the sixth player to catch four in a game and the first since 2016. The four TDs one-upped the bar set by teammate John Mitchell, who had three a week ago at Ball State, and set a new single-game record for FAU, breaking the previous mark of three set

by Cortez Gent in 2008 and equaled by Mitchell. Antoine's TD receptions were for 37, 17, 28 and 57 yards and most were made after the catch. Antoine's efforts helped FAU towards a 42-7 win over Wagner.

Sailfish Take Down Saints 3-1 at Home

The Palm Beach Atlantic University men's soccer team returned home Wednesday night and defeated Flagler College by a score of 3-1. The No. 14 ranked Sailfish stay undefeated at home and move to 5-0-1 on the season overall.

After last games 1-1 draw against Florida Southern, the Sailfish looked to bounce back in tonight's game against an out of conference opponent. They controlled the possession and were quick to put the Saints under pressure when without the ball.

The Sailfish opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Harun Velich found Cadu Cusatis who beat Saints goalkeeper Andrea Lubbia with a right-footed curling effort into the bottom-right corner of the net. PBA was comfortable defensively in the first 45 minutes. Keeper Elliott Barker made two saves in the first half to keep to score at 1-0 in favor of the Sailfish going into the half.

The 'Fish came out strong in the second half, like they have all season, and Marc Hebbeker capitalized on a defensive error from Flagler in the 46th minute and put the ball into an empty net to go up 2-0. PBA continued to dominate the ball and create chances in the attacking third when in the 63rd minute Gian Scalise found Claudio Rivadeneira on a through ball who put it home to go up 3-0. The Saints pulled one goal back in the 63rd minute when Eden Shachar's free kick went through the PBA wall to make it a 3-1 PBA lead.

The Sailfish outshot the Saints 17-4 and had 70% of the possession in the contest. Up next for the Sailfish is a road Sunshine State Conference test on Sept. 28 when they play Saint Leo University at 7 p.m. The Lions are 3-4 on the season and 0-1 in the SSC following their loss to Embry-Riddle.
