A Day to Honor Our American Heroes
On Monday, we will observe Veterans Day, the national holiday dedicated to the men and women who have bravely served our country in the armed forces. No classes will be held on Monday, and most university offices will be closed. I hope you will take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, and remember the many military service people who are currently deployed far from home, working to protect those freedoms. At FAU, we show our appreciation for our veterans every day. We've made it a top priority to provide programs and services to encourage our veterans' success as they return to civilian life. Our Military and Veterans Student Success Center offers resources such as peer mentoring, internship and employment opportunities, and social gatherings for more than 1,500 military and veteran Owls. FAU also recently was selected by the Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program as one of six network partners to administer an entrepreneur initiative throughout Florida. The program offers resources to help veterans successfully launch and operate a company. Click here for more information about this wonderful program. Enjoy the long weekend, and thank you to all of our military veterans. Go Owls!
The 'Atlantic Awakens' for Homecoming Week!
It's homecoming week here at FAU, the most spirited time of year. We will welcome home all alumni and honor the 2008 Motor City Bowl Championship football team on their 10^th anniversary. Student Government has planned a number of special activities to celebrate this year's theme, "Atlantic Awakens," including Visit 'Hoth' on the Housing Lawn, laser tag, Darth Owlsley photos, and more! Of course, we'll also enjoy annual favorites including the 'ExtravaCANza' Canned Food Sculpture Contest, Day of Service, comedy show, Fall Family Fest, the Talon Awards, and the OwlFest concert featuring Catch 21Savage and Juicy J. The highlight of the week is our football game against Western Kentucky on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 5 p.m. This past weekend, the Owls defeated local rival FIU 49-14 in the annual Shula Bowl. Let's pack FAU Stadium and cheer our team to another victory! Click here for information about purchasing tickets. Specially discounted tickets are available for alumni by calling 1-866-FAU-OWLS. As always, tickets for students are free, so I hope to see the student section full. Click here for more information. For more information about "Atlantic Awakens" including the full schedule of events, visit www.fau.edu/homecoming. Go Owls!
Standing with the Jewish Community
My thoughts are with everyone who was affected by the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh on Saturday. FAU values its relationships with our many Jewish students, faculty, staff, neighbors, and friends around the world, and our sympathies are with the entire Jewish community during this sad time. Diversity and inclusion are deeply embedded in this institution's roots, and I am incredibly proud that FAU is one of the most culturally diverse universities in the country. FAU will continue to foster a safe and inclusive environment for students, faculty and staff regardless of race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender or sexual orientation. We're proud to have an active Jewish student population here at FAU. Our campus Hillel offers programs that benefit students, help them experience Jewish life, and make new friends who share their faith. These students contribute much to the life of the university and our community, through their campus involvement and civic service. FAU's Counseling and Psychological Services Center is available to students who may be affected by this horrible incident. Click here for more information. For employees, information about FAU's Employee Assistance Program is available at http://www.fau.edu/hr/benefits/providers.php.
Women's Soccer Wins First C-USA Championship!
Congratulations to the women's soccer team on winning their first Conference USA championship! The Owls tied with North Texas for the league's best regular season record and are officially C-USA Regular Season Co-Champions. This is the program's first championship win since 2005, when the team won the Atlantic Sun championship. The Owls were 9-1-1 in their last 11 games and finished the season with an 8-1-1 record in conference play. Team captain and senior Jennifer Ocampo was named C-USA Goalkeeper of the Week twice this season while Sammy Vitolsand Ebba Blomqvist each received recognition once this season as Offensive Player and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively. Off the field, the team is equally impressive, posting a 3.27 cumulative GPA during the past season. They recently earned the 2017-18 United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award, which they have received five times since 2011. FAU enters the conference tournament as the No. 2 seed, and will face No. 7 Middle Tennessee on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Good luck, ladies, and Go Owls!
Boca Campus Closing Early on Friday
This Friday, Oct. 26, FAU Football will host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at 6:30 p.m. The game will be televised by CBS Sports Network and is expected to attract a large crowd to FAU Stadium. To help alleviate traffic on and around campus, and to promote campus safety for all students, faculty, staff and game-day visitors, offices on the Boca Raton campus will close at noon on Friday. With the exception of labs that are scheduled for that afternoon, no classes may start after 2 p.m. Classes scheduled to begin at or before 2 p.m. can conclude at their normal time. All other FAU campuses will operate on regular schedules. The Owls have a nine-game winning streak at FAU Stadium and need your support to keep the streak alive. Please join me on Saturday to cheer the team on to another home victory! Ticket information is available by clicking here. As always, tickets are free for students. Click here for more information.
