COMMUNITY Lynn University Center Opens its Doors

For nearly 22 months, students and employees watched patiently as the building they’d heard so much about slowly materialized. Today, they finally had the chance to walk the Christine E. Lynn University Center hallways, lounge together on comfy couches and cool chairs, take in views from all five terraces, and even test the sound-proofing of soon-to-be-favorite conference rooms. “For so long, our university has needed a central place for all of us—students, faculty and staff—to come together to work and play; a place for collaboration and camaraderie, where we can have access to academic, social, support and dining spaces all in one spot,” said Lynn University President Kevin M. Ross. “Today, that wait is over.” At approximately 11:30 a.m., he and Mrs. Christine E. Lynn, benefactor, namesake and board of trustees chairwoman, cut the ceremonial blue ribbon, officially dedicating the building and welcoming guests into its halls. The event was a true open house, with activity everywhere, including live music piped indoors and outdoors from Elaine’s, a multipurpose space perfect for parties like today’s. Staff members introduced students and guests to their new offices and collaboration spaces. A fully stocked and fashion-forward Schmidt Family Campus Store featured sustainable products crafted by alumni entrepreneurs, and the latest incarnation of Christine’s, a high-end sports pub with 10 TV screens, offered gourmet popcorn. “This building is the beginning of the best of times and college experiences,” said senior Natalia Narvaez, a fashion and retail major and Knights of the Roundtable (KOR) member. “The programming and meeting spaces, social and learning areas, and new dining options are magnets for residential, commuter, undergraduate and graduate, day and evening students. They will encour-

age students to stay on campus and help everyone be more involved in student life.” She continued to describe how the building supports retention goals through engagement and inclusion opportunities, and she acknowledged her excitement for the KOR’s dedicated conference space, which she said will help make student government more productive and approachable. Mrs. Lynn also took a moment to address the crowd. “This building fulfills a critical need and the wishes and hopes of students and staff,” she said. “I can hardly express how excited I am to stand in front of you and deliver this building that will indeed transform life on campus. Sources of people have had an enormous impact on making sure the project stays on schedule, and even more have shared the vision and joined the mission to make this building possible.” Ross described the over $30 million project, the largest ever undertaken on campus, as a labor of love. He shared that in response to Mrs. Lynn’s generous leading match gift, 100 donors gave $10,000 or more to help make the dream that began in 2005 a reality. Donors are recognized by name on the first and second floor donor walls.

Discover The Palm Beaches Announces Open Call for Providencia Award Nominations

Discover The Palm Beaches (DTPB), the tourism marketing organization for Palm Beach County, is now accepting nominations for the 28th Annual Providencia Award. The award is presented to a local business, organization or individual that is making an extraordinary contribution to the vitality and prosperity of Palm Beach County as a desirable tourist destination. Nominations may be made online through Friday, March 15, 2019 at www.ThePalmBeaches. com/Providencia-Award All nominations will be reviewed by the DTPB Providencia Committee, comprised of tourism professionals throughout the county, ultimately narrowing the list to three final candidates. The public will be invited to select the Providencia Award winner by voting online, beginning Monday, April 8, 2019 through Monday, April 29. This year’s Providencia Award winner will be announced during DTPB’s Travel Rally Day celebration on Friday, May 10, 2019. “From retail centers to hotels to attractions and so many hospitality businesses, travel to The Palm Beaches strengthens every facet of our local community,” explained Jorge Pesquera, president and CEO for DTPB. “We’re proud to continue our tradition of honoring outstanding leaders and entities contributing to tourism with the prestigious 28th Annual Providencia Award.” Nominations are based on several criteria: contributing to the growth of the local

tourism industry, implementing innovative sales, marketing, public relations and social media initiatives, and creating awareness of Palm Beach County as a premier tourist destination. As the top non-agricultural economic driver in The Palm Beaches, tourism activity generates employment in all industry sectors beyond hospitality and provides tax savings for every household in the community. Nearly 70,000 people are employed by the Palm Beach County tourism industry. The industry provides $7.1 billion in economic impact, generates $101.2 million in local sales tax revenue returned to Palm Beach County, and generates $141 million in local property taxes. The Providencia Award is named after the Spanish ship that sank off Palm Beach’s coast in the 1880s. Its crew salvaged the cargo of 20,000 Trinidad coconuts and sold them to local residents, who planted them along the waterfront, eventually inspiring the town’s name. Previous Providencia Award winners include the following: Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society, Lion Country Safari, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, The Honda Classic, International Polo Club Palm Beach, Mr. James Ponce, Delray Beach International Tennis Championship, The Colony Hotel Palm Beach, Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Marathon of the Palm Beaches, South Florida Fair, Mr. Patrick Rooney, Sr. and the Norton Museum of Art.

As Narvaez said perfectly, the entire Lynn community extends “a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Lynn and all donors whose generosity and passion for our university made this dream a reality.”

PBSC’s Katyal named fellow by AMATYC Palm Beach State College Associate Professor Anurag Katyal is among six in the nation selected to participate as a fellow in a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) initiative being piloted by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. The AMATYC received a $305,100 grant from the National Science Foundation to launch Project SLOPE, a program that supports fellows as they conduct a SoTL project that is motivated by their teaching experiences. The pilot cohort, chosen after a competitive process open to faculty nationwide, will participate in hybrid faculty learning to support one another both online and in person and attend a Project SLOPE workshop this summer and AMATYC national conferences this year and next year. They also will share the outcomes of their research in 2020 with the AMATYC community. “We are excited to have Professor Katyal as a Project SLOPE Fellow,’’ said Megan Briet-Goodwin, coordinator of the initiative. “He brings a positive energy to this effort and is a reflective teacher who asks important questions about student learning. He genuinely cares about student experiences in math. We look forward to working with Professor Katyal as he conducts a SoTL project.” The initiative is a collaboration between AMATYC, Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Florida International University and Portland State University. It stems from AMATYC’s desire to create more research opportunities for community college faculty. “We wanted to start a research program for community college faculty to look at questions about teaching and learning in their classes,’’ BreitGoodwin said. “We’re under-researched and questions that I would consider germane to two-year colleges aren’t really

being asked in mainstream research. Our goal is to do something that will make a positive impact on instruction and student learning.” Katyal, who began teaching at PBSC as an adjunct professor in 2010 before becoming full time at the Boca Raton campus in 2017, said he’s pleased to be selected. “It’s an honor to be selected for a National Science Foundation-funded research project. It provides me a professional outlet for seeking mentorship from other faculty who have done research in the classroom and changed their practices for the better. Ultimately, the students will be better off and will gain the most benefit from such research studies.” Katyal will formalize his research focus over the coming months, but he said it may center around his new approaches to teaching College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Precalculus and Discrete Math and other courses. He approaches his courses in an inquirybased learning format, choosing not to lecture to students but instead engage them in solving math problems on their own at the onset of class sessions. However, formal research will help him determine whether those methods are effective. He will ask questions about the relationship between his teaching and his students that are unique to the context of his classes and will bring insights to the first two years of college mathematics. “The research that we’re engaging in is on what are the most effective ways of teaching and why they work,’’ said Katyal, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in math from Florida Atlantic University. “I want to create better problem solvers. I want students to be able to think on their own and think critically.”

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

A Community Working Together to Promote Literacy A group of clergy members is transforming lives around Delray Beach. But their crusade is not from the pulpit or in the pews. Instead, United Believers has taken to the streets to promote family literacy. Recognizing that families play a key role in helping children hone their literacy skills and foster a love of reading beginning at birth, the organization recently convened Family Reading Matters at the Arts Garage and armed parents with the necessary tools. Greta Britt, founder of United Believers, thinks the home environment is critically important for younger readers. She maintains that if students do not see people reading in the home, it may be harder to instill the idea of reading for pleasure. I must concur with her. Supportive and understanding parents

are critical in developing their child’s reading habits. If children do not enjoy reading when they are young, chances are they are not likely to do so when they get older. So, it all starts in home. To illustrate the importance of reading, a father and his two children reenacted the reading session he holds in his home at the Sept. 8 event. But what riveted the message was a dramatization where seven children - representing the All-AmericaCity’s diversity - held up signs showing the following tips for parents to motivate and help children develop a love for reading: • Encourage me • Check my SIS Gateway (the new system that replaced Edline to allow parents, guardians and students to log in and get important information on academics and attendance)

• Check my backpack (daily) • Talk to me about my day. (This can be engaging, and parents can learn about what goes on in the classroom) • Go to parent-teacher conference • Take me to the library • Hug me United Believers is not alone in its quest. For six years, the Delray Beach Education Board has been holding Delray Reads to promote reading at an early age. Each year, in November, more than 250 community leaders and residents are dispersed to the local elementary schools to read to students for an hour. They also learn how they can help the schools and students.

This year the committee selected the book Interrupting Chicken by author and illustrator David Ezra Stein. They will also have a celebrity speaker to help fire up participants at a breakfast. Previous speakers were Ron Fairchild of the National Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, Lynn University President Kevin Ross, NBA referee and founder of the National Basketball Referees Association’s TIMEOUT for Reading program, Marc Davis, and last year, Dwight Stephenson, a Hall-of -Fame former Miami Dolphin and the winner of the NFL Man of the Year Award. The lesson learned is that when parents, regardless of their socioeconomic status, read with their young children, it increases the likelihood of them developing a love for reading.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Use the Life You Still Have! If you think your life is over, you can be pretty sure that it is not. If you can read or hear these words, you are most definitely alive! What you face may be unbearable at the moment, you may have lost enthusiasm for any new challenge, and your joy of living may be at an all-time low. Yet, even then, you are still breathing, and something can legitimately be expected of you! Just think: as long as there is life in you, some kind of accomplishment remains open to you. It may be different in nature from past activi-

ties, your lack of strength, or your decreased health may not permit you to tackle certain challenges. However, you can renew your strength by positively thinking of something new whereby to make a valid contribution to fellow humans, even if in your own mind this exceeds your powers and abilities to deliver. Keep in mind that your capacity to think that your days have ended on earth, is in itself an indication that this is not so. You just need to refocus and seek wisdom, determining

what you can still contribute. Don’t think of what you did in years gone by but just on what you can still do now! It is to be expected that one’s zest for life and in life decreases, on account of illness, due to advancing age, diminished abilities, and many additional normal obstructions or previously unknown limitations. Nevertheless, you can still open your eyes each new day, and boldly inquire: “What can I attempt today that can make a positive difference to other lives?” It is not the magni-

tude of an act, nor the abundance of a deed that will make it significant. If it stems from a sincere heart, and it’s done in the best way one can, unquestionably the impact will surpass one’s expectations. Don’t allow any paralysis of thought or action to hinder you in seeing a dream fulfilled, and leading a positive effort to completion. You are still alive and you can do it, with God’s help. So, use creatively the life you still have. It will do you and others more good than you can imagine!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Jr. League of Boca Raton Flavor’s Event at the Addison

An awesome Flavor’s event at the Addison hosted by the Jr. League of Boca attracted a very huge crowd who enjoyed several food stations representing, China, Spain, Africa, Europe, etc. There were acrobats, dancers and a d.j. to entertain the group. A lot of money was raised for charity at this event.

Making Your Mark Through Mentoring, Part 2 In last week’s edition of “Monday Manna,” I introduced the idea of making a difference – making your mark in the world – through a highly relational, mutually beneficial approach to mentoring. This week I wrap up this discussion, citing additional principles that David A. Stoddard and I developed in our book, The Heart of Mentoring: Ten Proven Principles for Developing People to Their Fullest Potential. As I mentioned, this differs from the typical approach to mentoring in which two individuals are assigned to each other, whether they like it or not. In our view, the best mentoring involves a more seasoned mentor working with a “mentoring partner,” both of them learning from one another. Here are some other basic principles for this approach, along with biblical foundations that support them: Effective mentoring involves character building. Skill training and exchange of knowledge can be part of the mentoring process, but it should also aim for the development of the entire person, including character building and imparting values that govern their lives. To be most effective, the mentor must serve as an example of living out these traits. “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put into practice” (Philippians 4:9). Effective mentoring offers comfort and willingness to share the load. Relationships grow through the demonstration of genuine care and concern for one another. A good mentor will want to know how the mentoring partner is doing both professionally and personally; work invariably affects one’s private life, and what is going on in one’s personal life has an impact on their work. “Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). Effective mentoring helps oth-

ers discover their passion. Sometimes the person being mentored is struggling because he or she is still trying to find their place. Even if they are successful, they might not be engaged in a profession they find fulfilling or meaningful. If personal interests and passions can somehow be aligned with the work they do, they will be able to thrive and become valued contributors wherever they go. The apostle Paul wrote to his protégé, Timothy, “Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you” (1 Timothy 4:14). Effective mentoring includes reproduction, resulting in a legacy. Because of all he had gained from his own mentors, Dave Stoddard developed a desire to come alongside others and help them to grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. I have had a similar experience, and view that as part of my own legacy – assisting others, so they in turn can help others. “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Timothy 2:2). ”I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth” (3 John 4). Even though he departed from this life five years ago, Dave Stoddard’s impact continues through the lives of many men who are having a strong influence in their families, their companies, and other men they are helping to develop through mentoring. A wise man once said the only things that will last for eternity are people and the Word of God. There are few better things we could do than to invest time, energy and resources into other people, helping them to become all they can be. Especially if we do so under the guidance of God and His eternal truth.

Boca Raton Company Buying Stock Of Plastic Straws

Based on recent news of more and more counties banning plastic straws, FarFromBoring Hospitality is answering the call by offering to swap out all current stock of plastic straws up to 20,000 from local establishments. FarFromBoring Hospitality, the founder of eco-friendly, reasonably-priced Rhino paper straws, is also sweetening the deal by offering buyers 15% off any paper straws they purchase in the month of February and March. “Americans use more 500 million plastic straws every day. These pollute our oceans and are ingested by sea birds, turtles and other marine life. Many counties across the state of Florida have enacted a ban on plastic straws entirely,” says Robert Stillman CEO of Far From Boring Promotions, the parent company of FarFromBoring Hospitality. “We know many vendors have current stock and don’t want to lose the money by throwing their plastic straws out. We hope our offer to purchase their stock helps them to move quickly in an effort to preserve what we are losing. Plus, we will also pick up the straws and disposing of them in an eco-friendly manner.” Rhino paper straws are unique in color and design, and meet the specific need for restaurants, hotels and other food service providers huge demand locally while making a global difference. FarFromBoring Hospitality has already seen excellent success since their launch in November 2018. As a company committed to giving back, they are expanding incentives to better support national and international efforts to elimiate plastic straws entirely. The company will be assisting the growing ecological movement by also making an extra donation to

support sea turtles/sea life in addition to their commitment to supporting the work of Trees for the Future (trees.org) with every case sold. “Before we brought our paper straws to market in South Florida, there was very little product availability. What little inventory was available felt like cardboard, and dissolved too quickly in drinks. Finally, the price point for these inferior-quality straws was far too much for restaurants to spend on a one-time use consumable,” says Stillman. Florida cities that currently have plastic straw bans in place include: Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach St. Petersburg, Coral Gables, Fort Myers, Miami Beach, Hallandale Beach, Sanibel, Marco Island and Pinecrest. Plastic straw bans are also in effect in California cities including Alameda, Berkeley, Carmel, Davis, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Oakland and Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo. Other west coast cities such as Seattle and Edmonds, Washington and Vancouver, Canada have implemented the band. On the east coast, Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, NYC and Washington D.C. are officially plasticstraw free. Unlike other paper straws that have flour in the glue paste, FarFromBoring Hospitality paper straws are gluten free and meet all U.S. standards including FDA and Proposition 65 guidelines. Their straws are available in several sizes and colors, wrapped or unwrapped and may also be personalized. In addition, the company carries paper stirrers. View special offers and products at paperstrawwholesalers.com. Stillman says this month’s discounts are simply part of his company’s small role in making the world more eco-friendly.

Students, industry to collaborate in PBSC Innovation Lab

Palm Beach State College launched its new Innovation Lab at a grand opening ceremony Thursday with a ribbon-cutting, remarks by College and industry leaders and student technology demonstrations. Housed in the Technology Center on the Lake Worth campus, the 1,264 square-foot former classroom has been reimagined as a high-tech sandbox that will provide students with the tools and technologies they need to tackle actual industry challenges in collaboration with area businesses. “The lab is designed to connect PBSC students with industry, providing students with hands-on experiences that prepare them for placement upon graduation,” said Kimberly Allen, PBSC associate dean for business and computer science. “We see it as a space that will continue to grow and evolve in response to industry trends.” The Innovation Lab was set in motion by Dr. Alireza Fazelpour, a PBSC computer science professor, and developed through the collaboration of faculty, staff and business partners. Olivia Witkowski, co-chair of PBSC’s Computer Science Business Partnership Council, noted that such labs are springing up more and more because they are effective. “If I’m a company, I’m going to look at an innovation lab and see what the students are producing there,” said Witkowski, who is a senior software engineer at Dycom Inc. in Palm Beach Gardens. “It gives companies a place to look for talent, and it gives students a place to go to showcase their talent.” Crossmatch, another Business Partnership Council member, has already given a project to the Innovation Lab. The Palm Beach Gardens provider of security solutions, including biometrics scanning software used by governments and corporations worldwide, wants PBSC students to produce an internal tool that supports the company’s production work. A dedicated project manager will interact with the students throughout the project and conduct sessions in the lab. “What I like about the Innovation Lab is that it gives the students a chance to work on modern hardware and

software,” said John Howard, director of software development at Crossmatch. “Sometimes people come to work for us who haven’t been exposed to that. We want the students to be prepared, and this lab gives them a chance to get a lot of good experience so that by the time they come to companies such as Crossmatch, they can hit the ground running.” The lab, located in TC 321, will be open every weekday, and students will have access to faculty within the lab, as well as industry through events and workshops. Projects will be integrated into the core curriculum of computer science programs in networking, programming, cybersecurity and other IT disciplines. However, the lab’s scope is not limited. “This lab will go beyond the classroom to give students more handson opportunities,” Fazelpour said. “We’re going to have interdisciplinary collaboration across the different departments of the College as well as possibly other institutions in the area. We would like to make it a center for the community.” Some students, including members of the PBSC Technology Club, have played an important role in setting up the Innovation Lab, including club president Giovanny Guarin, who is pursuing the Network Administrator Associate in Science degree and has just started an internship with Dycom Inc. “This space is definitely a needed area for collaboration,” Guarin said. “Students can come and not only mingle and work on their own projects, but also have that team-building experience. Having access to all these resources and wonderful professors that are on campus will lead us into many opportunities and the possibility of working with our future employers.” PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D., is always looking for ways to set PBSC students apart. “I want our students to be employees that businesses can’t do without because they’re the ones that had this advanced technology experience,” she said. “The Innovation Lab will make a difference for our graduates, and hopefully for our employers when they hire our graduates.”

Cancer Image Programs No Longer Just for Women The Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute (LCI) at Boca Raton Regional Hospital has created image enhancement programs for patients undergoing cancer treatment. The Be U Tiful and Him II programs help participants improve their mood, well-being and overall outlook on life by offering techniques to enhance their physical appearance. The programs are separated by gender to meet the specific needs of its participants. The Be U Tiful program addresses the issues of women while Him II focuses on the side effects experienced by men. Him II was developed to offer services to men that are typically only available to women. “Men are often overlooked in how they feel about their physical appearance during cancer treatment,” said Darci McNally, Director of Oncology Support Services & Community Outreach at LCI. “We created Him II as a safe space for men to learn image enhancement tech-

niques such as selecting wigs and offering basic skincare tutorials.” Both programs teach techniques on coping with skin changes, hair loss, hand and nail care, scar camouflage and other cancer treatment related conditions. Each session is led by licensed cosmetologists with over 30 years of experience in the beauty and wellness field. The programs are open to anyone in active treatment up to one year post-treatment and not limited to only those receiving care at LCI. All participants receive a complimentary cosmetic/grooming kit to take home and put their teachings to everyday use. LCI offers a wide array of programs, classes and events to help its patients cope with a cancer diagnosis and improve their quality of life following treatment. “The addition of these programs complement the spectrum of outreach services we provide to our patients,” said Louise Morrell, MD, Medical Director of LCI.

SPORTS North Greenville Scores Late to Defeat Sailfish 10-4

Palm Beach Atlantic baseball dropped a midweek contest with No. 9 North Greenville on Tuesday, as the Crusaders scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to win 10-4. The ‘Fish fall to 6-8 on the season while NGU improves to 9-5 with the win. The Crusaders struck first with three runs in the second inning, as Sailfish starter Brad VanAsdlen struggled with command in the frame walking two and throwing two wild pitches. The ‘Fish did not take long to strike back, as Riley Herold led off the third with a solo homerun and the ‘Fish scored two more in the inning on a Brandon Smith single to centerfield. North Greenville plated one more run in the fourth inning before Kevin Nunez escaped a jam. Nunez went on to have a great outing on the mound, as he threw 3.1 scoreless frames in relief.

The ‘Fish trailed 4-3 until the seventh inning, when Sean Houck led off the inning with a single, and came around to score the tying run on a two-out triple to right field off the bat of Brandon Seltzer. Unfortunately for the Sailfish, the Crusader bats came alive in the eighth inning as they scored six runs in the eighth inning off a trio of Sailfish pitchers. Smith led the way for the ‘Fish at the plate, finishing 3-for-4 on the day with two RBI. Seltzer and Herold both went 2-for-5 in the game and each drove in a run. PBA will return to action on Friday, March 1 as they will head to Daytona Beach, Fla. to face off with EmbryRiddle in an SSC three-game set.

Men’s Basketball Adds Incoming Freshman Jamison Evans With a large graduating class looming in the near future, Lynn University men's basketball head coach Jeff Price announced the signing of another young talent as Jamison Evans inked a National Letter of Intent. "We very much look forward to having a young player of Jamison's caliber in our program," said Price. "He provides us with an athletic guard that should have a promising career at Lynn." Evans is in the midst of his senior season at Rutland High School in Rutland, Vt., where he is averaging 21 points, six rebounds and three assists per game. The New England Recruiting Report has tabbed Evans as the 4th-ranked 2019 high school prospect in the entire state and the top-ranked prospect in the

Vermont Principal's Association (VPA). The 6-foot-3 guard has guided RHS to back-to-back Division 1 Vermont State Championships as the 16-4 Raiders look to make it a three-peat this season. Evans is also just eight points away from notching 1,000 in his career, hoping to reach the milestone this Friday vs. Burr & Burton. Evans broke out last year as a junior, putting up 18 points per game before being named the Vermont Boys Basketball Player of the Year by USA Today, First Team All-State by the Burlington Free Press, a Marble Valley League First Team All-Star and a part of the Dream Dozen from the Vermont Basketball Coaches Association.
