All FAU Events

Together we will look at the importance of our well-being before, during, and after the holiday season. We will work to identify causes of stress and ways to manage it, along with exploring the meaning and purpose for our Holiday celebrations. Let’s not forget a list of “Do’s and Don'ts”. We will build a purposeful action plan for changing our mindset for healthy happy holiday experiences through planning and adjusting our thinking and expectations.

This orientation will review the BCBA certification process and answer some commonly asked questions, such as:What are the BACB's degree requirements?What does the supervision experience entail?How do I find field experience opportunities?What can I expect from the BCBA exam?A review of the expectations for FAU's ABA program will also be provided. Whether you are already a student seeking certification or just interested in learning more about the process, this informational session will address your questions.

It's the time of year in many traditions when we most remember our beloved dead, and for the past fifteen years or so, JCBA has been here to help you do so in a celebratory spirit through our annual Community Day of the Dead ofrenda. If you are local and if you want to honor a loved one's memory with us, please feel free to bring something to display on it, in community with the other items on the ofrenda. We'll have pictures of our founders, Arthur and Mata Jaffe, and paper marigolds and traditional artenanías mexicanas... you bring the rest. But please no food, no plants.Our ofrenda is in the lobby of the Jaffe Center for Book Arts; you may come visit it even if you're not adding something to it. Our ofrenda is illuminated and visible even when the center is closed, and you are welcome to come look at it through our lobby doors even during the late-night hours when the Wimberly Library is open. We’ll keep the ofrenda on display through St. Martin's Day (November 11), and you’re welcome to come collect the ofrenda items that you've brought after that, should you wish.In choosing items to bring to our ofrenda, please keep in mind Dia de Los Muertos is not Halloween. Halloween ushers in these annual Days of the Dead, of course, but Dia de Los Muertos is more about love and remembrance… and festivity, for sure! It’s a beautiful tradition from Mexico for keeping the channels open, and that is a wonderful thing.

Participants will ride in the Night Owls golf cart while answering a series of trivia questions on various topics. Each correct answer earns points, and the more they get right, the bigger the reward. However, incorrect answers come with consequences, such as losing points or facing an extra challenge before reaching the final stop. Just like the TV show Cash Cab, players will have a lifeline, allowing them to call a friend or ask a bystander for help when stuck. At the end of the ride, players will face a final challenge question, where they can risk their winnings for a bigger prize or play it safe and keep what they have earned.
