Staple of FAU College Life, It’s Owl Time, Closes its Doors Permanently By Justin Baronoff

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. The store, located on NW 20th Street, has been operating for the past seven years under owner and FAU Alumni Mark Noll. However, with FAU cancelling classes and all sporting events for the rest of the Spring 2020 semester because of COVID-19, Noll was not receiving customers and thus the decision was made to close down. “It is with a heavy heart that I announce we will immediately begin liquidating our inventory with the purpose of closing our store permanently by mid-May after seven years of being a part of the FAU community,” Noll said in a statement via the It’s Owl Time Twitter account on Tuesday. “I am not looking at this as an unfortunate situation that we are all experiencing, but rather reflecting on how fortunate and lucky I was to get to live my dream.” As it was coincidental that the city closed all nonessential businesses after Noll’s announcement, he felt he needed to be proactive with the current situation going on around the world in preparing for the worst. Despite the announcement and disappointed reactions from those who follow the store on Twitter, Noll will still be selling any merchandise available, even if that means now to shift to online orders only. “I could have sat around for a few months, but I’d rather get my inventory sold and move on,” Noll said. “We don’t know when [the coronavirus] will end [and even] football may be impacted.” With support from FAU President John Kelly going to the store on Tuesday to buy FAU apparel and even former FAU football coach Lane Kiffin tweeting a broken heart emoji in response to the news, many Boca Raton residents also visited the store on Tuesday to buy new Owls gear and thank Noll. “People [were] coming in buying like crazy [and] I got 50 online orders [on Tuesday] morning,” Noll said. “[Even] the president of FAU [bought] things he obviously [didn’t] need to buy, so the support is just unbelievable.” When Noll announced the store’s closure on Twitter, FAU Alumni Brandon Sirota was one of the first to offer his thoughts by tweeting “let’s work together to help save Mark, a local March 27 - April 2, 2020

business, an FAU legacy and the only place that sells our teams merchandise that’s STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ALL LOVE!” Sirota, who graduated in the spring of 2018, served as the Interfraternity Council President for a year during his time in college, where he encouraged the university’s greek life members to buy Noll’s FAU merchandise and wear it to tailgates, football games and other sporting events. Sirota even recalls his first time entering the store. “From my first day as a freshman buying my first polo all the way to my senior year seeing Lane Kiffin sign the famous wall and buying a shirt with his face on it, that store meant a lot to me, my friends, and the FAU community,” Sirota said. “Mark’s place wasn’t only a store, it was iconic for FAU students, athletics, and an FAU tradition built on pride for the university.” The “famous wall” Kiffin signed that Sirota is alluding to are the blue-colored walls around the It’s Owl Time store, where Noll would invite any significant athlete, coach, or faculty member to sign their name in black sharpie, engraving their name in FAU’s history for years to come. Some of these historic FAU “celebrities” that signed the walls in the past, include not only Kiffin, but new FAU football head coach Willie Taggart, former FAU running back and current Buffalo Bill Devin Singletary, and NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, who visited the university last June after his son, Rahsaan Lewis, transferred from the University of Central Florida to play wide receiver for the Owls. As these are only four names, the list could go on and on. While the signatures on the walls will most likely disappear alongside the store, Noll, however, may offer anyone, regardless of their ties to FAU, to sign the walls if the store can reopen before permanently closing. “In the coming weeks or when things die down a little bit, I’m planning on saying anyone who wants to come down and sign the walls can sign it, you don’t need to be an athlete or anything else,” Noll said. “[The signatures are] never going to be erased and [if] someone eventually paints over it, the signatures will still be on there.” Now, with Noll having to shift his store completely online, the uncertainty of when the coronavirus will end continues. Despite not knowing what he will do after officially closing, Noll is just “thankful” for the last seven years. “I’m not 20 so I may just retire,” Noll said. “I got to live my dream and not many people get to do that, so I’m just thankful I got to do this.”

FAU gives students option of changing grades to pass/fail By Justin Baronoff As Florida Atlantic University has already 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.” According to the email, the pass/fail system will be available to undergraduate students, while satisfactory/unsatisfactory will be for graduate students. A letter grade of D minus or better would suffice as a pass for undergraduate courses and a letter grade of C or better would be satisfactory for graduate courses. Despite the pass/fail option helping students who aren’t doing well in classes, it is important to note that

the option could affect “professional school applications, such as for medical or graduate schools, or have other unforeseen consequences.,” as the email states. This is why the email suggests undergraduate students discuss the option with their professor of the class or their academic adviser and graduate students discuss with their program director or research supervisor. On April 1, the university will show which degree programs allow the pass/fail option, as well as any restrictions the State of Florida could impose on statewide requirements. Then from April 8 – 22, students in the selected degree programs will have the option to complete a form online for the courses they wish to switch to the pass/fail grading option. More information from FAU will be provided to students, professors, and other faculty on April 1.

St. Thomas University waives SAT/ ACT test requirements for Fall 2020

In response to SAT and ACT testing sites closing across the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Thomas University will waive the SAT/ ACT test requirement for Fall 2020 admission consideration. The university will now be testoptional, meaning students may choose to submit test scores if they have them, but applications from students without test scores will also be considered. The lack of test scores will not impact the university’s evaluation of the student’s application. “COVID-19 has greatly af-

fected all of our lives, in particular many high school seniors who are dealing with the idea that their college career may be affected by the virus,” said David A. Armstrong J.D., President of St. Thomas University. “We at St. Thomas understand the obstacles they are facing, want to ensure them that they will still be able to pursue their degree and that circumstances out of their control won’t be held against them.” The waiver applies to both domestic and international students and is effective immediately.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Delray Beach Mayor’s Pandemic Response has been Behind from day one on this Crisis In the weeks leading up to the recent municipal elections, Delray Beach Mayor Shelly Petrolia spent much of her time sending missives to her mailing list on which two of the seven candidates they should elect. Coincidentally, at the same time, the coronavirus outbreak was dominating the news. Leaders in neighboring cities and local civic and nonprofit organizations spent much of that time analyzing their operational strategies and making contingency plans to avoid any long-term disruption and mitigate business risk. Amid a cascade of state and county restrictions on public gatherings, merchants – in particular, restaurants and bars operators in the city – were sent into a frenzy about the fate of their businesses. This kicked off a firestorm. When the heat intensified, Mayor Petrolia on March 16 released an email abdicating all powers to City Manager George Gretsas, who has been non-responsive to the community since he took office in January. (Messages left with his office from the media seeking answers have gone unreturned). “It is important to understand who is in charge, and why, during times of emergency or crisis in Delray Beach,” Mayor Petrolia wrote. “When the commission declared a state of emergency pursuant to Chapter 95 of the City Code of Ordinances, it authorized the City Manager to take any and all actions deemed necessary to protect and preserve the health, safety, welfare, lives and property of the citizens of the City of

Delray Beach. “In other words,” she continued, “the City Manager acts as the decision-maker on all issues and can do so in the absence of the elected body. This allows for immediate action without having to convene a commission every time a decision must be made. It’s the only efficient way to govern when operating under emergency circumstances.” This a good line to satisfy most people who do not know better. But many know there is hardly a decision made in City Hall that the mayor does not have a hand in, especially when it could impact commerce. Mayor Petrolia, your reasoning is conflicting to your actions and nonsensical, and it seems rushed, indicating a lack of planning. Simply, it means you are failing. Neither Mrs. Petrolia nor Mr. Gretsas mandated closures or ordered people to stay at home; they stuck to “recommendations”. We are not saying this was a bad strategy to start with, but during an emergency such as this, we need decisive action. It is not reassuring to the many residents, some who are considered high risks, that the city’s leadership was silent during this time. Maybe they were focusing just on places with documented COVID-19 cases. However, the scary truth is because there were no confirmed cases in Delray Beach or neighboring cities, which does not mean the infection wasn’t already spreading. The incubation period for COVID-19 can be as long as two weeks.

Even now, several weeks into this crisis and with 43,500 deaths across the globe, far too many people seem blithely unconcerned about the danger posed by this virus. This is partly due to the lack of communication from the mayor and her manager’s office in the early days of this outbreak in our state. Take for example, national news headlines declaring Delray Beach as the new Spring Break spot after officials in Miami-Dade and Broward counties closed their beaches, which forced spring breakers and beach lovers to our city’s beach. Where were our leaders? Nowhere to be found. Their voices were hushed. Instead, they sent the standard news release to the public, stating the obvious. That’s shockingly irresponsible leadership. We are grateful to Governor Ron DeSantis who stepped into the leadership vacuum when it was necessary, and we certainly are grateful that it appears he pulled the local government along behind him. The mayor is a residential real estate agent. She is also a duly elected representative of the community. She has her opinions. I respect some of them, but this is a health issue, she needs to be the one communicating directly with the residents during this time. It is a fact that during a crisis, people need a trusted source as much as they want a trusted voice. And let’s face it, Delray Beach

does not have a good track record with its city managers since David Harden retired in 2012 after 22 years. Delray Beach residents do not know City Manager Gretsas any more than they know Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, but I am sure their level of trust is higher with Dr. Fauci than it is with Mr. Gretsas. May we remind Mrs. Petrolia, who’s hoping to be reelected to the post next year, what is expected of her as mayor and the meaning of leadership? It’s pretty simple: In the eyes of the average resident, everything that happens in the city falls squarely on the shoulders of the mayor (regardless if your city is run by a strong mayor or a city manager). A strong and responsible mayor does not deflect blame, brush off criticism or hide during crisis, especially when it comes to a pandemic that has killed thousands of people globally and is still spreading at a frightening pace. Delray Beach’s constituents have a right to hold their elected leaders responsible, and they should. Enough passing the buck, Mrs. Petrolia. Show you take the issue as seriously as it deserves. Whether you accept it or not, coronavirus is indeed a responsibility of leadership. As mayor, in a time of crisis, you’re that leader – regardless of who your city manager is.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

What Followers Expect of Their Leaders When was the last time you heard a motivational talk? How did you react to it? Did it fill you with enthusiasm and inspiration? Did you find yourself filled with adrenalin, ready to take on the world? Years ago, I was invited to attend a multi-level sales meeting when several men and women took the stage, speaking glowingly about their product and declaring how successful they had become. Looking around the room, I saw many of the attendees becoming fired up. They were so excited, I think some of them didn’t use the doors to leave – they seemed ready to run through walls. I was not among them, but could understand the reaction. The stories they heard sounded convincing, and very motivating. The problem is, that kind of motivation rarely lasts. The emotional peaks it produces quickly fade as people return to

March 27 - April 2, 2020

the “valley” of the everyday workplace and its challenges. How, then, can we find the motivation we need to not only establish and start pursuing worthwhile goals, but also to sustain the effort, persevering in the face of obstacles, setbacks and discouragement? A sad reality is that many people have the capacity to start well, whether embarking on a new career, starting a business, or taking on higher levels of responsibility and authority. But relatively few are able to stick with it to bring into fulfillment their lofty objectives. Where can we find the much-needed motivation? Soon Americans and people in some other parts of the world will hold an annual observance called Thanksgiving Day. I would suggest, at least for those who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ, part of our motivation should be thankfulness.

Thankfulness for God’s love, for what He has done for us, and for the privilege of being participants in the work He is doing around the world. Here are some of the sources of thankful motivation we find recorded in the Bible: Motivated by thankfulness for God’s love. The Scriptures teach we have been chosen to become members of God’s eternal family by His unconditional love. It also says the Spirit of Jesus Christ lives in every believer, empowering us to love others as He has loved us. As the apostle Paul wrote, “For Christ’s love compels us” (2 Corinthians 5:14). Motivated by being thankful for God’s calling. One of the amazing statements in the Bible is God wants us to serve as “instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13), people He uses to demonstrate

www.bocaratontribune.com

and express His truths. “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20). Motivated to share it with others. Once we comprehend what God has done for us, and what a genuine relationship with Him offers, we should find ourselves motivated to share what the Bible calls the “good news of Jesus Christ” with others. “If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you…because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again” (2 Corinthians 5:13-15).

Cocktail Party at the new Bluefish Restaurant We traveled to Pompano Beach as Boca Restaurants started to close. With the coronavirus scare, we limited our visit with friends to six people. This was last week before the stay at home order came out. We went to Checker’s Old Munchen German Restaurant in Pompano Beach.

More Paradoxes in Business In September I wrote about paradoxes in business, how commonly held and widely accepted views about how to conduct business often run counter to a biblical worldview of the same practices. Here are two others we should consider, both involving money management: Financial Stewardship. When I was a commercial lender, a young man excitedly began telling me that Steinway Piano, a well-known company with a storied history, was for sale and he wanted our bank to loan him the money to purchase the company. I admired this individual’s ambition, but was stunned when I asked how much money he needed to borrow. Without hesitation, he replied, “I think they will probably want $200 million, and I will need to borrow all of it. I’m only 25 and I don’t have any money.” Apparently he expected me to walk out to the bank’s “money tree” and get him the amount he needed without any questions, not to mention collateral. As you might guess, we did not loan this big-idea young man the money, but this experience has always stuck with me as a reminder of how casually people consider the use of debt in business. This illustrates a paradox we find in the business world about the use of money: The world often says use all the debt you can borrow, whether it is for a business, buying a house or even going to college, but God says we are to trust in Him, not the bank. Proverbs 3:5 teaches, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.” We are tempted to wonder whether God truly has our best interests at heart, especially when a seemingly good opportunity presents itself and we think we must act

quickly to capitalize on it. However, the Bible teaches we are stewards or managers of financial resources God has entrusted to us, not the owners. We see tis declared in 1 Chronicles 29:11, “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.” God entrusts much to our care, but expects us to use it with wisdom – and by seeking His guidance – rather than acting by impulse. Generosity. Here is another area where we see a great paradox between common practice and a biblical worldview. When I was in banking, one of my largest accounts was a construction-oriented business led by Sean. He squeezed his vendors for all he could get out of them, rarely providing anything in return. Sean’s business was profitable because he drove his people hard and pressured his suppliers to minimize the expense side of the ledger. But few people enjoyed doing business with him. He was operating according to a philosophy we often hear in the business world, that we should hoard our wealth. God, however, says we are to be generous, willing to freely give as He directs. Then Sean had a dramatic spiritual conversion. He went from being a “taker” to becoming an extremely generous “giver.” In fact, over the years since he has given away millions of dollars to many worthy charitable causes. A changed man, he is doing what the apostle Paul said in 1 Timothy 6:18 when he admonished, “Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.”

PBA Students Master Public Speaking on Award-Winning Debate Team The lightning-fast pace of speech and debate competitions is teaching the next generation of lawyers, lawmakers and top-notch communicators to be quick thinkers – and they’re racking up awards along the way. The University’s Debate & Forensics Lab Team brought home several awards from the 23rd annual National Christian College Forensics Invitational tournament March 6-8 at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. Palm Beach Atlantic students won two awards for impromptu speaking and one each for informative, persuasive and after-dinner speeches. They won second place for overall team performance in their division. In February, the team advanced to the semi-final round of a National Parliamentary Debate Association event at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, where they competed with teams from 13 other Florida universities. Joseph Sowers, visiting assistant professor of communication, coordinates the debate lab. Students from a range of disciplines are encouraged to get involved to improve their communication skills, he said. They earn course credit for the lab. With politics or law school in his future, Jason Shaver enrolled in debate to overcome debilitating nerves. “It’s a really nice, stress-free, casual environment where you can learn how to become a better speaker,” said Shaver, a sophomore politics major. “Being able to speak in front of people is a valuable skill. I would encourage students of any major or potential career path to join.” In the six-round parliamentary debate in Pennsylvania, Shaver and teammate Connors Ray argued about the expansion of the liberal arts, counterterrorism policy in West Africa, socialism in America, people who complain but don’t vote, the past as the key to the future and a government ban of cyberbullying and racist statements. Each team was allotted a mere 15 minutes to prepare for each round. “It’s really fast-paced,” Shaver said. “It’s really on the fly. You’ve got to think on your feet.” Lauren Roub, a sophomore psychology major, is one of the experienced debaters. Shaver credited her with giving him some pointers on his persuasive speech about abortion. Rather than rehashing partisan angles, he advocated

for creating a culture of life by increasing funding for crisis pregnancy centers and reducing adoption costs. Roub and debate colleagues Jonathan Carleton and Peyton Marshall coach their less-seasoned peers. Roub said she likes investing in others and watching them grow. Carleton, a sophomore communication major, said he enjoys working with ideas and developing logical points. In the impromptu competition, participants randomly select printed quotes from prominent people with big ideas. For example, Carleton’s speech in the final round was based on the quote “Dictators fear laughter more than bombs” from British author Arthur Koestler. Students have seven minutes to both formulate and deliver their speeches. Most speeches are about five minutes long. Six people in the room could give six entirely different speeches on the same quote, Carleton said. “The idea is to think on your feet and develop a compelling, meaningful presentation on the quote that you just drew,” Carleton said. Marshall remembers the first time she competed in impromptu publicspeaking. She wanted to walk out on the spot because she blanked. Three semesters of competition later, the junior communication major said “it’s really helped me not have that stage-fright feeling.” Now, Marshall feels comfortable talking to anyone – including large groups of people. In the most recent competition, she gave an informative speech on human trafficking and a persuasive speech about compulsory childhood vaccinations. The debate course has helped her process ideas more clearly, she said. “I’m not afraid to express my opinion and be judged for what I’m telling people,” Marshall said. Adding to the challenge, debaters never know if they’ll be assigned to the opposition or the affirmative side. Marshall enjoys hearing others’ opinions on a particular topic and has learned to put aside her own opinion in order to get a point across. Plus, it’s fun to argue without any hard feelings, she said. “It really is a great course,” Marshall said. “You get to have these little arguments in class, but then you get to laugh about it.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis Issues Executive Order closing Local Beaches and Businesses in Palm Beach County As of Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ordered the closure of mostly all beaches and businesses in Palm Beach and Broward County. Due to the influx of COVID-19 cases in Broward, MiamiDade, and Palm Beach County, Florida Governor has recently implemented the closures. The executive order was issued on Friday and states that all concert houses, movie theaters, auditoriums, playhouses, bowling alleys, arcades, gymnasiums, fitness studios, beach, and parks must close until at least March 31. The order has also put further restrictions on local restaurants, bars, pubs, breweries, and cafeterias. This states that all food or alcohol serving businesses

with seating for more than 10 people in Palm Beach and Broward County must close but may continue take-out and delivery. The closings will not affect essential errands, as grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and gas stations will remain open. The recent executive order will mirror the action that has been taken in Miami-Dade county with all beaches, parks, and non-essential commercial and retail businesses remaining closed. County officials continue to urge citizens to stay safe through practicing social distancing and limiting gatherings to 10 people or less. If you feel unwell, stay home and seek medical attention when possible.

Lynn Alum Makes Diverse Contributions to University

Dan Mathews '90 makes an impact on the lives of many. During the day, he's a well-respected lawyer and municipal judge near Syracuse, New York. In the evening and on weekends, he’s the owner of a lucrative microbrewery, which he built in 2012. Mathews attributes his expanding success and responsibilities to the bachelor's degree in business and administration he earned from the College of Boca Raton (Lynn University's previous moniker). "My professors prepared me for business ownership," Mathews said. "I learned how to manage a business and people." Mathews is one of Lynn’s biggest cheerleaders. He regularly attends Lynn's annual Alumni Weekend and stays in touch with classmates and professors. That connection is the reason why he supports the university. "I feel a sense of community with Lynn," Mathews said. "It's important for me to give back to the place that helped me get started."

Mathews’ support includes contributions to capital gifts, immediate needs, athletics and much more. His generosity helps fund campus enhancements like the Christine E. Lynn University Center—a favorite hangout and study spot for students like Mathews’ son Cole, class of 2023, who is now earning his own business degree. With the intent to thank the university and “give back big,” Mathews recently named Lynn on his life insurance policy. Establishing the benefit was something “important for me to do as an alumnus,” he said. “Dan has made diverse contributions to Lynn,” said Senior Vice President for Development and Administration Gregory J. Malfitano ‘73, ‘75. “His latest gift is an impactful and distinct way to make a difference.” For Mathews, the life insurance benefit is a way to recognize Lynn for the role it played in his success. He suggested, “Give back however you can to support your alma mater and its future students.”

letter and LinkedIn profile reviews for their fellow PBA students. They also assist with vocational discernment, job/ internship searches and mock interviews. Roub taught the high school students — some of whom were only in ninth grade — how to translate their skills into relevant answers for a job interview. One of her questions, for example, asked them to identify a time in their lives when they were able to resolve a conflict. One teenager talked about a time she respectfully confronted her teacher, who wasn’t communicating clearly, and got a positive result. “We specifically trained them so that regardless of their background, they would be successful in an interview,” Roub said. “Your experience is valuable.” Jonathan Carleton, a sophomore communication major, and Amber Ledbury, a senior philosophy, politics and economics major, are both Career Peers like Roub. They helped coach the teens in their breakout groups, encouraging the participants as they developed their answers to practice questions. “It was a neat opportunity to be available and present and work with them in a positive way,” Carleton said.

Polished PBA students who routinely help their peers put their best foot forward on résumés and in job interviews conducted a career workshop in February for teenagers from Place of Hope. Place of Hope provides faithbased, family-style foster care for children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect. The PBA workshop had a dual focus of preparing the 10 Palm Beach Central High School students for job interviews and exposing them to a college environment. The high school students learned how to shake hands, identify strengths and effectively answer interview questions during the two-hour workshop last month in the Hanley Classroom of the Warren Library. Lauren Roub, a sophomore psychology major, coordinated the workshop with Jennifer Fonseca, the University’s assistant director of Career Development, and Place of Hope Enrichment & Volunteer Specialist Mariah Welch. Welch said she was “grateful for the incredible interview class provided to our kids.” Roub is a Career Peer working with the Office of Career Development. The peer advisors provide résumé, cover

Boca Raton to Officially Close all Retail and Commercial Establishments

In the interest of the health, safety and welfare of our community, we are taking every responsible action to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic is an urgent issue and has not yet shown any indication of slowing. On March 19, 2020, MiamiDade County enacted an Emergency Order imposing restrictions on all nonessential businesses and services, and Broward County enacted similar restrictions effective on March 23, 2020. This public health emergency created by COVID-19 is not limited to one county or municipality in South Florida and therefore; the City of Boca Raton is directing the closure of all nonessential retail and commercial establishments, effective 12:01am

sports FAU Athletics to compensate cancelled future event ticket holders By: Justin Baronoff

With the coronavirus pandemic not ending for the unforeseeable future, the Florida Atlantic University Athletic Department announced earlier this week, on Tuesday, March 17, that season and single-game ticket holders will be compensated due to the suspension of all spring sporting events that was announced by Conference USA on March 12. According to an email sent to FAU students and fans, ticket-holders will “receive separate communication that outlines the [athletic department’s] credit process,[which] can be applied to any future ticket purchase, donated to the Paradise Club to support studentathlete scholarships or refunded to a credit card.” As Conference USA announced yesterday (March 19), on top of games already being upheld, that formal and organized practices are now

cancelled, effective immediately, FAU’s current teams in season have ceased operations until further notice. Also, the Owls’ spring football game, which was supposed to take place on April 18 at FAU Stadium, along with all practices that were supposed to start this Monday, March 23 and go up to the game are cancelled as well. The FAU Athletic Department also extended deadlines to season tickets for the 2020 football season until further notice, where a replica Conference USA Championship ring and other giveaways can be won before the actual last day to purchase season tickets, which will be announced at a later date. Any questions or concerns can be directed to the FAU Ticket Office by calling 1-866-FAU-OWLS (328-6957) or emailing Tickets@fau.edu. The Paradise Club can also be of assistance by calling Paradise 561-297-2683 or emailing paradiseclub@fau.edu.

FAU Men’s Golf Rises to its Highest National Rank Ever

The coronavirus pandemic cut the spring season short for the Florida Atlantic University men's golf team, but coach Ryan Jamison and his players' accomplishments were anything but. FAU posted its best team scoring average (289.05) ever, a full three shots higher than its second-best season in 2009-10. That helped the Owls reach a program-best national ranking of No. 93, 35 spots higher than the previous team record. "It feels extraordinary to have accomplished so much in such a small amount of time," Jamison said. "This is a tribute to all our guys and all of the hard work and culture building they have done. We feel like the best is yet to come and we can't wait to get back at it." Over the 2019-20 season three freshmen burst into stardom: Alex Maguire, Enrique Dimayuga and Max Sturdza. They recorded the third, 10th and 11th best scoring averages in FAU history, respectively, showing the potential to dominate for years to come. The trio led FAU to the second highest freshman output (420.582 relative strength) in the nation. Maguire posted the secondlowest round in FAU history with a 65 at the Golfweek Program Championship, and Max Sturdza won Conference USA Golfer of the Week honors for his 7-under 209 at the Fort Lauderdale Intercollegiate. "Our freshmen this year did an incredible job of being coachable, working hard, and setting the example of our expectations going forward," Jamison

said. "It was no secret that they led our team many of tournaments. I believe they are all very hungry and will continue to push forward and accomplish some great things at FAU. The future is bright for all of these guys." As the freshmen emerged, a senior impressed alongside them. Sully Zagerman posted the 13th best scoring average in team history with a 73.43. Among all-time FAU golfers, Zagerman has the third-best scoring average (74.17) ever, going par or less in 28 of his 84 career rounds. "We will really miss Sully for a number of reasons: His leadership was impeccable and really acted as an extra set of eyes for us on and off the golf course. We couldn't have accomplished what we did without Sully. He also is one of our most successful golfers in FAU history per scoring average. I would argue he is one of the most important golfers to step foot on campus in FAU history, period." Jamison has only been at FAU for two years, but already owns the best coaching record (.578) in program history. The next step: competing for championships. "The future comes with high expectations," Jamison said. "[Brian White] brought me in to build a culture of winning and doing things the right way. We need to outwork people; it's the only way. Our vision for this program is to become a nationally-ranked team with opportunities to compete for a National Championship every year. Some people may think this a bit of a reach, but I think it will happen fast."

The group of newcomers will attempt to help PBA improve upon an 18-13 record from last season where the ‘Fish just missed out on a berth to the South Region Tournament. “The excitement level for our 2020 class is really high,” Walters said. “The addition of these six great
