Community Boca Raton Regional Hospital and PBSC Students Win Big in Phi Beta Baptist Health South Florida Lambda National Contests Announce Partnership

Baptist Health South Florida announced the completion of its partnership with Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

With this, Boca Raton Regional Hospital is now operating as part of Baptist Health South Florida.

The new partnership ensures both not-for-profit organizations will continue to meet their mutual missions and commitments to elevate healthcare within the communities they serve in an area that reaches across four South Florida counties.

“Our organizations share the same calling to improve the health and well-being of individuals and to deliver compassionate healthcare to our patients at the highest standards of excellence and safety. We foresee an exciting future at Boca Raton Regional Hospital that will cement its title as the preeminent healthcare provider in the community,” said Brian E. Keeley, president and CEO of Baptist Health.

In May, Boca Raton Regional Hospital announced the appointment of Lincoln S. Mendez as its new chief executive officer to succeed Jerry Fedele when he retires in August. Mendez formerly was CEO at Baptist Health’s South Miami Hospital in Miami-Dade County.

“Today’s announcement concludes a process that will elevate our position as an advanced, tertiary academic center,” said Christine E. Lynn, Board Chair at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “I thank everyone who participated in this process, both at Boca Regional and Bap-

tist Health, for this exciting outcome.”

In 2017, Baptist Health merged with Bethesda Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West in Boynton Beach. With the addition of Boca Raton Regional Hospital, it brings the number of Baptist Health hospitals to 11.

Baptist Health is the largest healthcare organization in the region situated across four counties, with nearly 23,000 employees, more than 4,000 physicians and operates more than 100 outpatient centers, urgent care facilities and physician practices. In addition, Baptist Health has centers of excellence in cancer, cardiovascular care, orthopedics and sports medicine, and neurosciences.

In December, Baptist Health and Boca Raton Regional Hospital announced they had signed a letter of intent to form a partnership. Boca Raton Regional Hospital first announced its intent to seek a strategic partner in 2017. Boca Regional narrowed its list of suitors, including some of the nation’s foremost healthcare systems, to five in the spring of 2018 and selected Baptist Health as its preferred partner.

“Establishing our partnership with Baptist Health represents an important milestone in the history of Boca Regional,” said Jerry Fedele, president and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

“It is one that continues the positive momentum and trajectory of Boca Regional as the premier healthcare provider in South Florida.”

Four Palm Beach State College students each placed in the top 10 in national Phi Beta Lambda competitions, including one who brought home a firstplace prize.

They were among more than 1,400 students from colleges and universities across the country who attended this year’s Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference June 24-27 in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to participating in workshops, they tested their business acumen in 61 competitive events. Only the top 10 winners were recognized in the competitions that each drew up to 50 contestants or more.

Joshua Deese and Thomas DeVito won $700 first-place and $200 second-place awards, respectively, in the Justice Administration contest, which included an objective test on criminal justice laws and policies. Adrian Stephenson, a client services manager in the IT department at PBSC who received his Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Information Management from the College and is currently pursuing an MBA from Western Governors University, won sixth place in the Help Desk contest. It included an objective test and a presentation. Magdala St Fleur, who received her Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management last May and will pursue a master’s degree in human resources at Lynn University this fall, won 10th place in the Client Services competition. She presented customer service strategies for attracting or maintaining customers based on assigned business or business product scenarios.

Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate division of Future Business Leaders of America. Deese, who was active in FBLA as a youth, said winning first place at

the national conference is a dream come true. Last year, he won sixth place in the Entrepreneurship Concepts contest.

“I have been in this organization since I was in middle school. Winning first place at the national conference has always been a dream of mine. It was great to see this come full circle,’’ said Deese, who earned his Associate in Arts degree from PBSC last December. He is taking an additional course at the College this summer as he prepares to transfer to the University of California, Riverside this fall to pursue a bachelor’s degree in public policy. He eventually plans to run for public office.

Dr. Jehu Chong, a professor in the bachelor’s degree programs and Phi Beta Lambda advisor, said he could not be prouder of his team that competed at the national level after placing at the top in district and state competitions.

“They’re going up against the best of the best from each state,’’ said Chong, who also participated in the organization in college and high school. “I am so proud of their accomplishments.

As they go on to their next endeavors, I want them to be able to take what they’ve learned in these competitions and apply it in their work life and pay it forward.”

DeVito, who completed his A.A. degree in May and whose long-term goal is to become a Coast Guard JAG officer, said they prepared throughout the school year. “My fellow members and I really worked hard all year preparing. The events that we had at the national convention was a culmination of all of the hard work that we’ve been putting in since the fall.”

For more information about Phi Beta Lambda and to join, contact Dr. Chong at chongj@palmbeachstate.edu.

From Interns To First-Gen University Students, PROPEL Graduates Live Up To Mission

Fulfilling its mission of helping disadvantaged youth achieve academic success, PROPEL (People Reaching Out to Provide Education & Leadership) saw six of its seniors head off to four, different colleges and universities this summer.

In the fall, the following PROPEL graduates will attend these institutions of higher learning: - Guesnaisha Altena, Florida Atlantic University, as a Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholar - Mudrine Cesar, Florida Atlantic University - Cynthia LeConte, University of North Florida or Florida Atlantic University - Rolex St. Preux, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University - Thierry-Ven Celin, Palm Beach State College - Savannah Marshall, Florida Atlantic University - Begee Mondesir, Palm Beach State College, for EMT certification

“We couldn’t be more proud of our seniors and the work ethic they demonstrated to get accepted into their respective schools,” said PROPEL CEO

Gregg Francis. “They all overcame personal and academic challenges, but none so great as to stop them from achieving their dreams. They are the epitome of why PROPEL exists.”

PROPEL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping disadvantaged youth from south Lantana to Boca Raton achieve academic success through leadership training, tutoring and life-skills programs. Located in east Boca Raton, PROPEL successfully works with more than 100 students through its after-school and weekend programs, focusing on literacy enhancement, SAT/ACT Prep, STEM programs, healthy living initiatives and post- secondary career planning.

With the skills and strategies learned at PROPEL, students are ready to succeed once they have entered a new academic environment. Francis said four program graduates from 2018 have made the Dean’s List at FAU, following their freshman year — McKenley Benoit, Michel Issac, Garsendy St. Fleur and Williamson Emilcar.

“We refer to them as Our Core Four, for continuing the academic success that they had with PROPEL,” he said.

“Thanks to our staff, volunteers, supporters and donors, we are able to put these students on a great path and provide them with a strong, academic foundation.

We look forward to helping even more students be amazing collegians.”

Boca Raton Public Library Presents “Confusion Can Be Confusing: Delirium and Older Adults”

Delirium disproportionately affects older adults, but understanding more about this serious, treatable illness can be lifesaving! Join Florida Atlantic University’s Deborah D’Avolio, Ph.D., as she shares the latest information and research about delirium in “Confusion Can Be Confusing: Delirium and Older Adults.” Dr. D’Avolio will talk about the causes, risk factors, treatment and prevention of delirium, a disturbance in mental abilities that results in confused thinking and reduced awareness. It is often unrecognized, particularly among those with dementia, who are at high risk of delirium.

Dr. D’Avolio, an Associate Professor at FAU’s College of Nursing, has a background in Gerontological Research. Her research and career have been dedicated to the unmet healthcare needs of vulnerable older adults. She has been involved in graduate and doctoral level curriculum development, healthcare systems’ program development, and research

and policy development to improve the care of older adults. Her leadership in geriatric nursing has earned her international recognition.

The “FAU Research in Action” series is a yearlong collaboration between Florida Atlantic University’s Division of Research and the City of Boca Raton Libraries in which researchers share their innovative work and seek input from the community. Oyuki De Santiago Poletz, Program Services Librarian, notes, “Boca Raton is fortunate to have an active research university in our own backyard. This series is an excellent opportunity for our residents to engage with the experts at Florida Atlantic University and contribute to the direction of ground-breaking research.”

“Confusion Can Be Confusing: Delirium and Older Adults” is free and open to the public. Register through the calendar at bocalibrary.org or call the library at 561-393-7852.

More Needs to Be Done Now to Stem Summer Learning Loss

When asked why he had not completed his assignment to research a topic for the following day, one boy in the STEAMfocused summer camp flatly responded, “This is summer camp, not school and I don’t like to read.”

What an indictment!

Summer is here, school is out and the American ideal of lazy summers filled with fun has an unintended consequence: “summer slide, summer setback, summer learning loss or summer brain drain,” the term that refers to children losing academic skills during the summertime, when they are most often out of practice.

It is no secret that summertime is one of the most critical periods for elementary and secondary students. For many, it signifies ball games, pools, family vacations, and that longed-for break from schoolwork.

But it is one of the most important, yet least acknowledged, causes of underachievement in our schools.

Scholastic Corporation, an education and media company that publishes books and educational materials for schools, teachers, parents, and children, commissioned a study of 2,758 students earlier this year, which showed that 32 percent of kids ages 15-17 said they do not read any books over the summer, compared to 22 percent in 2016.

While summer slide impacts all students, studies show significant summer

learning loss gets worse or better depending on the grade level, the subject, the socioeconomic status of the students’ families, and any number of other factors.

Knowing that students who are not engaged in learning over the summer lose skills in math, reading and writing, a handful of local organizations are taking steps to ensure that learning continues.

Our local librarians, education advocates and summer camp organizers know that the odds of many students picking up a book while out of school for 10 weeks are slim to none. So, they are offering reading and other interactive programs for children to try new things, participate in crafts and activities as well as allow them to socially interact with their peers.

These programs are a good band aid. But more needs to be done.

I have been hearing about efforts to put more books into the hands of kids for years but somehow, it does not seem to be working. Or if it is, the impact is unsatisfactory. Let me also add that this problem of summer learning loss has been of interest to education researchers dating back as far as 1906.

The time is come for our thought leaders to create strategies other than what is being used now.

With all the advances in educational technology such as animated e-books, interac-

tive whiteboards, and mobile literacy apps, summer learning loss should not be an issue that we are still trying to address.

We cannot and should no longer rely on our educators to address learning during the summer.

After all, they are burned out from nine months of working in the classrooms.

It will take community organizations dedicated to youth growth and development, not those who see it as a job, to bring about plausible change. These organizations would need to form partnerships with our school district to leverage resources for the summer.

Above all, the learning during those 10 weeks must be fun. There needs to be blended academic learning with hands-on or recreational activities, professionalizing summer school staff, and forming partnerships with community organizations to leverage resources.

Also, parents can help by asking your child’s teachers about areas where your child could use a little extra attention over the summer, and ask about recommended summer reading to prepare for class this coming fall.

Once again, we need to diversify our approach to learning so that it is fun. In fairness to our children, after being cooped up in a building for nine months, they need to be outdoors or in environments that promote learning during the summer.

One example is my organization, KOP Mentoring Network, a local nonprofit, which has been using non-traditional approaches to make learning fun.

This summer, the organization is using professionals and retired educators and law enforcement personnel to expose the campers to life through field trips and guest speakers. Over the last three weeks, they spent a day at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, the Kennedy Space Center and the Apple Store.

They also learned how to program and fly drones, learned about the stock market, toured four radio stations and observed a robot perform a surgery in a local hospital.

Campers are required to do journals daily.

Let me add that a lack of basic literacy skills is linked with academic failure, delinquency, low productivity, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, unemployment and welfare dependency.

Pair these facts with the reality that low-income students often do not even have access to and it becomes clear how children from disadvantaged families start a new school with reading scores 30 percent lower than students with steady access to books.

Furthermore, each fall, teachers spend an average of four to six weeks re-teaching last year’s content that students forgot over summer break.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Robert J. Tamasy

Nothing To Fear–But Fear Itself?

It was U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt who said in his first inaugural address, in 1933, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” If I had been alive then, I might have been tempted to respond, “Oh, yeah? That’s easy for you to say!” Roosevelt had a point, however, because fear can be a powerful, paralyzing emotion, preventing us from doing – or even attempting – promising opportunities.

A friend, David Sanford, wrote about five fears he has observed that plague professionals. These include: Fear of silence (taking time away from work to reflect, re-envision, think creatively and plan).

Fear of sharing (presenting initial ideas or very rough drafts for others to consider and critique).

Fear of selling (promoting polished concepts, products, plans, proposals and recommendations).

July 5 - July 11, 2019

Fear of rejection and failure (worrying about what others might say about us).

Fear of success (worrying that others might expect more of us if we succeed).

Virtually all of us can identify with at least one of these fears, possibly all of them. Several seem familiar for me.

Stepping away from work to think, imagine and plan sometimes goes against my grain. “I should be doingsomething, not thinking!”But if we do not take pauses from frenetic activity, how do we know we are doing the right things – or doing them the right way?

Selling has never been one of my strong points, as I learned early on when I was still in college. The prospect of trying to persuade people to buy a product from me often felt like trying to twist their arms behind their backs. And I think we all have

had times when we hesitated from moving forward, struggling with the thought, “What if I try and do my best, and still fail?”

Even at this advanced stage of my career, I find myself wrestling with these fears at times. Then I try to remind myself of truths such as, “If I do not try, failure is guaranteed.” Or, to restate the Golden Rule, “Sell unto others as you would have them sell unto you.”

But I have found that the real solution for overcoming fear is not clever slogans, but trusting in God, His wisdom and guidance. Here are some passages I have found helpful in that regard:

Faith in God’s presence.When we confront daunting situations and fears, knowing God is with us in the midst of them can bring us confidence and hope.

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will

www.bocaratontribune.com

help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

Belief in God’s love. We as God’s children believe He is sovereign – that He knows our circumstances and is in control.

Therefore we can trust He will use them for our ultimate good. “There is no fear in love.

But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). “For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’”(Romans 8:15).

Trust that God can deal with our obstacles. When problems appear too big for us to handle, we have the assurance God is bigger than our problems. “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”(Romans 8:31).

Waiting: The ‘Game’ No One Likes to Play

Steve Fox’s Red, White and Blue Party On Sunday I attended Steve Fox’s Red, White and Blue Party at the Venu Restaurant in Boynton Beach. A very large crowd enjoyed delicious Italian food and a DJ for dancing. A fun event!

Many of us find ourselves each day on the proverbial treadmill, frantically rushing to another appointment or the next deadline, refusing to slow down for fear of failing or missing out on some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Patience is not a virtue we strive to nurture. If we wait, we suspect this fast-paced world will still keep moving, leaving us far behind.

People talk about the “waiting game,” but it is a “game” the vast majority of us find no pleasure in playing.

We want what we want – and we want it now. Whatever “it” happens to be.

Some time ago I met with a successful business leader who admitted this. He told me that one of the hardest things for him is to “wait on the Lord.”

Finding himself in a time of transition, he felt ready to move forward with the next stage of his career, but God would not release him yet. So he found himself in God’s “waiting room.”

Driven, goal-focused business leaders often struggle with waiting patiently on God’s direction, preferring to charge forward on their own. There are many reasons for this. When forced to wait, we feel no longer in control, like we are at the mercy of circumstances as they unfold. We are action-oriented and think that waiting – pausing from frenetic activity – is a terrible waste of time and energy.

However, as we consider principles presented in the Bible from our perspectives as business and professional people, we discover that some of God’s greatest work occurs after He has commanded His people to wait.

For instance, we read in Acts

16 a time when the apostle Paul and his companions were prohibited from going into an area that seemed very reasonable for them to enter: “When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to” (Acts 16:7).

They must of wondered why, knowing the people in the region needed to hear the Good News they were so eager to present.

In fact, Paul was stopped twice from moving forward with his plan.

However, he later learned the reason for the delay. By waiting on the Lord and His timing, Paul eventually was able to launch a vibrant church in Macedonia instead. God, it turned out, had a better idea.

In Psalm 37, written by King David of Israel, we read passages filled with action verbs: “Trust in the Lord….” “Delight yourself in the Lord….” “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him….” Those are words we like to hear – things we can do. But then we read, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him” (Psalm 37:7). In verse 34 of the same psalm we read, “Wait for the Lord and keep his way.”

When we read such instructions, we want to respond, “What?

Wait? Why can’t we just keep moving?

There is so much to do!” Often we discover in retrospect that God’s plans and His timing are different – and superior – to what we had in mind. When you are feeling stifled by God, remember that He knows the beginning and the end. And our heavenly Father always knows what is best.

Jon Springer details the event that inspired him to partner with Ankush to create Dream Cars 4 Kids, “I started the Dream Car Network in 2012 after I was approached by St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee concerning 5-yearold Nathan. Nathan was a strong-willed boy battling the final stages of Leukemia whose last wish was to see a Koenigsegg. I was contacted because I just happened to be in touch with an owner of one.“ Ankush Shah, the organizer of Cars & Coffee Central Florida sought “to combine forces and bring our networks together to do something bigger. We wanted to give luxury car owners the chance to bring their supercars to sick children and at the same time help raise money for the kids.”

This summer Dream Cars 4 Kids has partnered with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida to bring the supercars to kids in need at their facility.

They have mobilized supercar owners to visit with these children and their families at the hospital to bring joy and brighten the lives of these medically fragile children. Any children who wish to see the supercars will

be able to hang out with the owners and their cars to create a memorable experience.

Dream Cars 4 Kids Rallies also bring a unique experience for participants as well. These multi-day rallies usually include beautiful, luxury hotel stays in spectacular cities throughout Florida and the opportunity for participants to truly make a difference in a child’s life. Rally stops include visiting children’s hospitals or specialty care facilities to share the dream cars with the special kids. Rally registrants also have the convenience of driving scenic highways and historic byways that have been mapped out for increased enjoyment while accessing the sheer power and style of their vehicles.

Dream Cars 4 Kids ultimate goal is to positively impact the lives of children beyond their moments with the supercars.

They back up these exciting events by donating proceeds of the rally to the destination hospital, such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital, and reputable charities that help sick kids in need. Rally Drivers pledge to raise or donate a certain amount required to participate in the Rally. This fundraiser would not have been possible without their sponsors, Network Property Group - Jon Springer, Off Lease Only, Daya’s Certified Collision Center, and FBC Mortgage Scott Kennedy.

Florida Atlantic University officially announced a $1 million gift from Rubin and Cindy Gruber to establish The Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox and to support student scholarships through their endowment.

The Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox will house the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science’s Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab (MPCR) within the S.E. Wimberly Library at FAU’s Boca Raton campus. The gift will support renovating a 3,400-square-foot resource center designed to cater to students from across the University. Students will be able to directly engage with the fast-advancing field of artificial intelligence.

Combining computing and neuroscience, this transformative field opens the door to new discoveries for everything from robotics to Alzheimer’s disease detection.

Led by co-directors Elan Barenholtz, Ph.D., and William Edward Hahn, Ph.D., the MPCR has produced high profile research and created strong community partnerships with local industries.

“With the generous gift from Rubin and Cindy Gruber, students and faculty can come together from any college or division at FAU to participate, create and innovate for the greater good,” said Ata Sarajedini, Ph.D., dean of the Charles

E. Schmidt College of Science. “My hope is that the Sandbox is just the beginning of many interdisciplinary partnerships that help shape the future of research and academic inquiry. This project is exemplar of how science reaches beyond the college’s walls and plays a fundamental role across the University.”

Rubin and Cindy Gruber are entrepreneurs and philanthropists who have demonstrated an expanding commitment to the mission, vision, and objectives of the University as evidenced by the creation of the Rubin and Cindy Gruber Endowment Fund at FAU last year. The Grubers also spend a considerable amount of time mentoring FAU students.

Rubin Gruber founded several telecommunications, data communications, and digital networking companies throughout his 40-year career. In 2001, he was named one of Tech 100’s “Highest Rollers”

by Forbes magazine. Cindy Gruber had a successful marketing management career that spanned 25 years and produced an award-winning documentary film.

“This gift is about more than just the money, said Cindy Gruber. “It will provide hope for the future, and a connection to a younger generation through friendship and mentoring.”

New PBA Orlando Alumni Council Creates Campus ‘Ambassadors’

PBA’s Orlando Campus has formed an alumni council to raise the profile of the University and its programs in Central Florida.

The local group gives local alumni opportunities to “be an ambassador for us in the community,” said campus Executive Director Dr. Jeremy Couch. That includes speaking with prospective students at admissions events and campus preview days.

The University wants to help alumni by creating more opportunities for them to network with each other and potential employers, Couch said.

Shannan Lewis-Blair heads the 15-person Orlando Alumni Council, which is made up of successful graduates who work in human resources, the non-profit arena, counseling, ministry, public speaking and writing. Lewis-Blair is also forging new connections with alumni at churches, chamber and community events.

The council includes Martha Christlieb, Shanel Morris, Alvin Brinson, Krystle Lynch, Gabriel Lynch, David Miller, Sheena Montgomery, Nadege Nicolas, Lisa Alexander, Sarah O’Hern, Maisie Alicea, Kaprece Stallings, Paul

Nuzzo, Cristina Ally.

PBA Orlando alumni Shanel Morris and Nadege Nicolas greeted prospective students at a campus preview day.Lewis-Blair graduated from PBA Orlando in 2010 with her bachelor’s degree in organizational management and in 2012 with her master’s degree in leadership.

She previously worked as an admissions counselor and was hired as an adjunct professor teaching courses in leadership for academic success and organizational leadership soon after finishing her master’s degree.

She was sidelined by cancer, but now that she has recovered, she’s a “cheerleader” for PBA Orlando. She and the core group of alumni promote PBA Orlando on social media and attend events for future students — just as two did at a recent campus preview luncheon.

The alumni fielded questions and shared testimonials.

“It’s really a group that’s intentional about connecting, communicating and doing whatever they can to spread the word that we’re here,” Lewis-Blair said. “They automatically legitimize our programs.”

FAU Receives $1.5 Million HRSA Nursing Grant for Military Veterans

Florida is home to approximately 1.5 million military veterans and has the third largest veteran population in the United States. Now, veterans will care for other veterans with a project designed to train veteran nursing students to provide primary care services to veterans in rural and underserved communities.

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing have received a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Humans Services, to form a primary care workforce of practicing registered nurses who understand the unique needs of military veterans, and are practice ready and willing to serve rural and underserved communities.

The project, “Caring-based Academic Partnerships in Excellence: Veteran RNs in Primary Care (CAPE-V),” is designed to educate and provide clinical training for bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) students in primary care and to provide professional development to practicing registered nurses (RNs) in primary care. The program will enrich the BSN curriculum and student clinical experiences in the areas of primary care, unique population health needs of veterans, mental health and substance use disorders, value added care, telehealth,

July 5 - July 11, 2019

and health information technology.

“Our CAPE-V project is a ‘win-win’ for nursing students who are veterans, practicing registered nurses, and for the veterans who we will ultimately serve in rural and underserved communities,” said Beth King, Ph.D., project director and an assistant professor in FAU’s College of Nursing who has years of experience educating veteran nursing students. “Our goal is to create healthier communities, and with this grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, we will be able to create an outstanding workforce of speciallytrained registered nurses.”

The goals of CAPE-V are to recruit, educate, and financially support a culturally diverse group of veteran students for FAU’s College of Nursing BSN program (RN-BSN, accelerated, and second degree part-time BSN tracks), who are primary care oriented and willing and ready to work with underserved and rural populations. The project team will establish partnerships with three veteran organizations and one new innovative academic clinical partner.

The project team will continue linkages with four of its existing academic practice partners serving rural and underserved populations for longitudinal clinical training experiences of veteran undergraduate nursing students in primary care settings. Collaborators

include the West Palm Beach Veteran Affairs Medical Center primary care clinics, Health Care District of Palm Beach County’s C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics, Community Health of South Florida, Inc., Holy Cross Hospital, and FAU’s Community Health Center, operated by the college.

King and collaborators will implement an innovative, caring-based, evidence informed professional development program in primary care for practicing RNs, RN preceptors, and faculty to address military culture and the unique needs of veterans, prevention and management of chronic disease, mental health and substance use disorders. Using best practices, the team will establish a veteran centric mentorship program grounded in caring to address the unique needs of veteran students, enhancement of student well-being, facilitation of successful program progression, and employment in primary care settings serving rural and/or underserved populations.

Collaborators of the project are Marilyn Ray, Ph.D., emeritus professor in FAU’s College of Nursing and a retired colonel in the U. S. Air Force; Kathi Harvey, D.N.P., an assistant professor in FAU’s College of Nursing who is an experienced primary care clinician providing care to medically underserved populations; and Matthew Patterson, MBA, an Iraq war veteran. M. A. Potter,

www.bocaratontribune.com

D.N.P., a colonel in the U. S. Air Force, who is an expert in veteran primary care and military leadership will serve as a consultant on the project.

With this award, BSN veteran students will receive stipends, enriched curricula, and a 180-hour clinical immersion experience in a community-based primary care setting. In addition, RNs working in primary care and faculty in FAU’s College of Nursing will receive professional development training focused on veterans and primary care.

“Nurses who have served in the military themselves are uniquely positioned to care for other veterans and truly understand their specific needs,” said Marlaine Smith, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Nursing. “This important grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will ensure that Dr. King, her collaborators, and all of our academic partners continue their exceptional work to provide primary care services to our veterans.”

This project is supported by HRSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $1.5 million.

Danolic Tabbed as Lynn Tennis Assistant Coach

Lynn University head men’s and women’s tennis coach Mike Perez has announced the hiring of Petar Danolic as the new assistant coach for both programs. A veteran of the tennis community, Danolic joins the Fighting Knights following a three-year stint as assistant men’s tennis coach at the University of Miami.

He becomes the first full-time assistant coach in the history of both Lynn tennis programs.

“Petar has the qualities of Spirit, Service, Strength that we require as well as the experience at the highest levels of junior, professional and NCAA tennis,” Perez stated. “Our tennis student-athletes will have the good fortune to have Petar on our staff as he is tireless in making all around him better. His time at the University of Miami clearly demonstrates these qualities.”

During his three seasons at The U, Danolic immediately helped turn around a Canes tennis program from an unranked team at the bottom of ACC, to a top-25 nationally ranked team. Miami ranked as high as No. 23 in 2018-19, marking the program’s highest ranking since 2011. The squad also qualified for the NCAA Team Championship for the second consecutive season in 2019, marking the first back-to-back appearances since 2008-09.

“I am very excited to work at one of the most successful tennis programs in the nation,” Danolic said.

“Lynn University is a great institution that has lots to offer to its student-athletes. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside one of the most decorated coaches in the history of college tennis, Mike Perez. I am looking towards working with the young men and women of Lynn University and helping them in their growth as tennis players, students and members of society.”

Danolic was an assistant coach in the collegiate ranks at his alma mater,

Texas Tech, as well as at the University of Arizona. Most recently, he has been working as a private tennis coach in Bradenton, Fla., since 2012.

Prior to moving into the private sector in 2012, Danolic spent time as a juniors coach in his home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was an assistant collegiate coach in the United States.

He has been a certified member of the United States Professional Tennis Association since 2000, and is an International Tennis Federation level II coach. From 2007-12 he served as both the president of the professional board for the Tennis Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina and president of the National Coaches Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Danolic began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant for the Arizona women’s tennis team for the 2003-04 campaign. He led Maja Mlakar and Dianne Hollands to the top doubles ranking in the country, while also coaching Hollands to a No. 7 ITA ranking. As a team, the Wildcats were ranked in the top 25 in the nation throughout the season.

He then moved on to his alma mater of Texas Tech in 2005, helping the team to top-25 rankings for back-to-back seasons.

He also has experience working in academies in the United States. From 2000-03 he was a traveling coach on the professional and junior circuit for IMG Academy, working alongside players such as Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova, Tatiana Golovin and Serena Williams.

Danolic earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science with a minor in psychology from Texas Tech University in 2000. While playing for the Red Raiders, he was ranked as high as No. 40 in singles and was a First Team All-Southwest Conference honoree in 1996. When he graduated, he was the winningest player in Texas Tech history.

Eight FAU Legends Selected for the 2019 FAU Athletics Hall of Fame Class

Eight Florida Atlantic University legends representing four teams have been selected for induction into the FAU Athletics Hall of Fame Class 2019 Class.

Three coaches and five former studentathletes comprise those selected to be inducted into FAU’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Induction ceremonies are slated for Friday, Oct. 11, 2019 and the class will be honored at FAU’s football game against Middle Tennessee on Saturday, Oct. 12.

“This is a tremendous Hall of Fame Class,” said FAU vice president and director of athletics Brian White.

“The success of these individuals laid the foundation for all that we do as a department today. Their hard work, dedication and determination to make FAU Athletics great are commendable and we are proud to honor and celebrate them this fall.”

Howard Schnellenberger, Joan Joyce and John McCormack headline the coaches to be inducted. Both Schnellenberger and Joyce were the inaugural head coaches for football and softball, respectively. Schnellenberger built the football program from scratch, walking the sideline for the first time in 2001 and retiring from his FAU head football coaching position at the conclusion of the 2011 season, the first season played on the Boca Raton campus, while roaming the sidelines of the field bearing his name.

Joyce, the only head coach the FAU softball program has ever known, also began coaching the Owls at an off-campus facility prior to overseeing the construction of an on-campus facility all while ushering the program through three conference affiliation changes and capturing at least one championship crown in each of the three leagues. FAU’s nod to Joyce will mark the 20th Hall of Fame induction for the multi-sport athlete. McCormack has served at the helm of the baseball program for 11 seasons, but has been a part of FAU baseball since 1990, first as a key component in the Owls’ move to from NCAA Division II to Division I and then as its skipper. McCormack has been in the FAU dugout for every NCAA DI (and one DII) postseason appearance and conference championship title which includes two conference tournament titles, six regular-season league championships and 13 NCAA Regional appearances, with one NCAA Super Regional opportunity.

Softball pitcher Chris Sutcliffe and baseball outfielder Jeff Fiorentino represent FAU’s spring sports. The similarities continue with both currently serving as collegiate coaches. Currently, Sutcliffe serves as Northern Illinois University’s head softball coach. Fiorentino followed his professional baseball career with a brief student coaching stint at FAU and now serves as an assistant coach at Chipola College, where he has helped to guide the Indians to back-to-back national championships (2017 and 2018).

Brittany Bowe is the lone representative for the FAU winter sports and while FAU fans remember her work on the hardcourt, it is her work on the ice that thrust Bowe and FAU onto the world stage. Bowe’s love of basketball is what brought the central Florida native to Boca Raton and her ability to represent the USA in the offseason as a competitive inline skater fed her passion for a sport few FAU fans were familiar with.

Upon graduation, Bowe once more gave up the high tops for inline skates and ultimately ice skates, a switch that began her professional career as a speed skater.

Bowe amassed eight gold, one silver and two bronze medals from the world inline speedskating championships from her junior years, and another two world championship medals since, including earning bronze at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter games in Team Pursuit.

The final two selections played football under the direction of fellow HOF class member Howard Schnellenberger. Rusty Smith was under center for the Owls’ first conference championship and for the program’s first two bowl game appearances and victories. Alfred Morris was a freshman running back in 2007, watching his teammate Smith orchestrate the bowl run and was a redshirt freshman as Smith and the Owls repeated with a bowl victory becoming the only team in the state of Florida to win backto-back bowls in 2007 and 2008. Morris went on to become the Owls’ all-time rushing leader, an honor he held until the program’s reemergence in 2017 and 2018. Smith was the first Owl drafted into the NFL and Morris, who has been on an NFL roster since 2012, is the first to become an everyday starter.
