AROUND BOCA BOCA WELCOMES FALL AND SWEET TREATS CAFE Parlour Vegan Bakery Opens Second Location Near Campus

By DARPAN SHAH Staff Writer With the end of summer and the start of fall semester, students are already feeling the stress of deadlines, group projects and midterm exams. Indulging their sweet tooth at Parlour Vegan Bakery, which opened its second location in East Boca on Sept. 17, may be one of the only things they can do to unwind and allow their taste buds to flourish.

With an original branch in Plantation, Parlour is famous for its dunkaroos, frosted toaster pastries and variety of specialized cupcake flavors like butterbeer, passion fruit and guava. Parlour’s specialty options makes it a very different indulgence than the typical run-of-the-mill bakery, featuring an array of both sweet and savory snacks, including the bakery’s signature pizza rolls and cheddar scallion rolls, all of which are priced under four dollars.

“The pizza roll is so scrumptious and tastes so delicious with its special dip,” said Jatin Shah, local Boca resident. “Just warm it a little bit and I am sure you will come back for more.”

With locally roasted Panther Coffee, made with soy, almond,

coconut or macadamia nut milk, Parlour satisfies all categories of coffee drinkers and gives them the opportunity to pair their drink with decadent cake batter, blueberry or strawberry donuts. Parlour also offers made to order birthday cakes for those preparing for a vegan or non-vegan celebration.

With the addition of the Boca location, which is larger than its Plantation one, Parlour Vegan Bakery looks to cater to a wide gamut of customers. The bakery satisfies vegans, health enthusiasts and anyone with a craving for light snacks and sweet yet flavorful treats.

“We were happy and pleasantly surprised to see the customers lined up already just before our Saturday opening [last month],” said Alyssa, employee of Boca’s Parlour location.

Those interested in trying Parlour for themselves can visit any of its locations situated at 1487 S. University Dr. in Plantation and at 415 S. Federal Hwy. in Boca.

COVER CELEBRATING THE ENTIRE LYNN FAMILY WITH

With Families Traveling From Both Near And Far To Convene On

By ADAM YURKIEWITZ Tech Editor This weekend, Lynn will host its annual Parents and Families Weekend, a fun-filled event where guests will enjoy academic sessions, meals and mingling, open houses and other evening activities. The weekend is aimed at introducing the families to all of the amazing things happening around campus.

The weekend begins with registration and check in on Friday starting at 8 a.m., where families will gather in the Wold Performing Arts Center. At 10 a.m., one of the first events to be held is a presentation entitled “Going Global: Study Abroad Options at Lynn University,” meant to showcase the myriad of study abroad options presently available to students throughout their time in school.

“There’s no need to wait to internationalize your education, students are eligible to study abroad after only one semester at Lynn. More importantly, study abroad doesn’t have to cost more. For semester programs, students pay the same

tuition and room and board as they do at Lynn and scholarships and financial aid still apply. Essentially, Lynn students are paying to study abroad whether they go or not.”

Other informational academic sessions are being hosted this weekend too, including “Inside Lynn’s 21st Century Classroom,” a presentation aimed at letting parents know just how technologically savvy their children are when it comes to learning. One of the highlights of this presentation is the discussion of Lynn’s iPad initiative.

As the jam-packed weekend continues, students may introduce their families to the multiple offices around campus during the open house sessions. The Hannifan Center for Career Connections, Institute for Achievement and Lear ning, Student Financial Services, School of Aeronautics and Inter national

Services, will all be hosting open house sessions throughout Friday.

After coming to understand the academic environment of Lynn, families may find themselves feeling somewhat hungry. In this situation, they can visit the Elmore Dining Commons to enjoy the latest and greatest foods prepared fresh and often right on the spot. “[Today], Lynn Dining is proud to welcome Nichole Campo, celebrity chef and author, who will be featuring cuisine from her latest gluten free cookbook in the Elmore Dining

Saturday’s highlights also include a Life at Lynn session from 11 a.m. until noon, where President Ross, along with faculty and staff from Student Affairs and Athletics, will provide information on what is happening within the

various departments.

“Parents and Families weekend is a great time for parents to see what their student’s home away from home is like,” said Caryn Morris, senior.

Later that day, at 2 p.m., students get to bring their families to watch a men’s soccer game where our Fighting Knights will go up against Eckerd College.

The entertainment continues through the evening as student photography is set to be exhibited at the Vertu Fine Art Gallery within the Boca Center. Around the same time at 7:30 p.m., musicians from the Conservatory of Music will deliver a Philharmonia performance featuring conductor Guillermo Figueroa.

Sunday, the final day of the weekend, features time to rest for those who find themselves worn out from the schedule of events. Others might use the time to squeeze in one last round of laughs with their families and friends.
