122552-LynnR1.qxp:122552-LynnR12/25/089:29 PMPage 2In FocusChallenges and OpportunitiesEver notice how often these two words crop up together?I shared this observation last September in my secondState of the University address. As I reflected on our achievements in academic year ’06-‘07 and the daunting goals inthe year ahead, “challenges” and “opportunities” repeatedlyofferings.” It’s no accident that this priority is labeled “1”in Lynn 2020. As I stated in my address, perhaps the mostchallenging opportunity we face is at our literal core—ouracademic mission. Our faculty, led by the deans and VicePresident for Academic Affairs Cynthia Patterson, are hard atcame to mind. Not only that, they blended into one, greaterconcept: “challenging opportunities.”This hybrid term perfectly sums up the tasks now beforeus, as we face the “heavy lifting” required by our strategicplan, Lynn 2020. For those of us who are committed toLynn’s bright future—faculty, staff, alumni, parents andfriends—the real work has begun. By that, I mean the workthat will transform Lynn into one of the most distinctivesmall universities in America.Take a look at our plan’s first priority: “Lynn will recast,partially restructure, and intensify the focus of its academicwork re-imaging the scholastic experience for our students.Our new program in American Studies and our innovativeteaching in mathematics, which are detailed in this issue, arebut two examples of this work in progress.Ultimately, we will build a core curriculum that is Lynn’sand Lynn’s alone, one that is innovative, individualized andinternational—and, most important, one that will ensureour students graduate from Lynn University better preparedfor success in life.—Kevin M. Ross, presidentP2 People with PassionThe Lynn people in this issue’s feature stories have something in common—they’re passionate about their pursuits.From the math professors in “Doing the Math” to the student writers in “The Blog Squad” and the alumni who aredevotees of extreme sports in “Push the Limit,” they are allabsolutely in love with what they do.As we do with every issue, assistant editor Debbie Sternand I compared notes after our interviews. Debbie, whowrote the bloggers story, was positively beaming after talkingwith the six students who keep these riveting online journalsfor Lynn (check them out at blogs.lynn.edu).And I couldn’t wait to tell her about the fascinatingalumni I spoke with about their daring sports. Not longafter that, I was raving about the math professors I hadinterviewed for our story about innovative teaching. I haveEditor’s Noteto admit that before my ‘roundtable interview’ with them,I was a little intimidated about facing off with not one, butfive math professors. But I needn’t have worried. Just as theydo in their classes, the professors put me at ease with theirterrific humor and interesting take on math.These amazing professors, students and alumni of Lynnremind me of something our president, Kevin Ross, said inan interview a couple of years ago. When I asked him whatLynn’s greatest strength was, he replied without hesitation,“Our people.” I couldn’t agree more. I hope you enjoy reading about the Lynn people in this issue, and if you work ina creative field—advertising, literature, photography, art,design, etc.—please send us an e-mail about you and yourwork for a future alumni feature (see our inside back coverfor details).—Liz McKey, editor

Ross gave his second annualState of the University address Sept. 19to more than 400 faculty, staff and students. In addition to outlining priorities for the year ahead, President Rosshighlighted several institutional successes from the past year, including anear-record year in fundraising as theuniversity received gifts and pledgestotaling more than 11.3 million. Thisfigure, he noted, was bolstered by adoubling in the number of gifts madeby alumni.President Ross also announced thatLynn University’s endowment—that“most crucial of institutional barometers”—had grown to 16,980,188,more than 10 million since 2003.Among the additional successesPresident Ross cited were the faculty’swork in revising the core curriculum;extensive classroom technologyupgrades; a recently implementedemployee compensation strategy; and anational championship in men’s tennis(Lynn’s 18th).“It’s been a year marked by almostunbelievable progress on our campus,”he said. “It’s been a time where we’veall been challenged by the rigor of constant forward motion, even as we’vebeen steadied and emboldened by theconsistent achievement it has yielded—achievement we’ve grown so accustomed to.”The president concluded hisaddress by referencing a quotationattributed to the former president ofRoanoke College in Virginia, DavidGring. That president called his institution a place where “the potential isextraordinary, limited only by imagination and will.”President Ross stated, “Lynn is aplace of extraordinary potential. Asfor imagination and will, we don’tlack for either.”Presidential scholar, historian Robert Watsonleads new American Studies programA campus often best known for itsinternational focus and students, LynnUniversity launched an AmericanStudies program last fall to ensureall of its students are getting a solidgrounding in the United States aswell—and the university has selectedprolific author and political scientistRobert Watson to lead the way ascoordinator of the program.The new American Studies program is the eighth major offered inLynn’s College of Arts and Sciences.The program is designed to providestudents with a rich contextual andmultidisciplinary understanding ofAmerica and American culture as wellas the study of American literature, art,politics, economics and history. Themajor will require 36 credits in classes2WINTER 2008 LYNN MAGAZINEincluding “Social and Political Historyof the U.S.” and “The Politics ofAmerican Education and HumanServices,” among others.“We envision an exciting new program with opportunities for communitybased learning and field studies atunique historic, geographic and culturalsites throughout the United States,”says Watson. “Lynn students will havethe opportunity to use the communityand country as their classrooms.”Watson joined the university fromFlorida Atlantic University, wherehe received both the DistinguishedTeacher of the Year award and FacultyService Award in 2006.

Just ask Lynn Universityjunior Scott Plumb.Inspired by the story of KevinWilkins ’07, who interned at the WhiteHouse in fall 2005, Plumb applied foran internship, too—and much to hissurprise, was one of 100 chosen from afield of about 900 applicants.Plumb’s journey began in the summer of 2006, when he worked from hishome in Valley Forge, Pa., to completethe hefty application. One telephoneinterview led to another. Finally the callcame in early December, while he washome Christmas shopping. Plumb hadlanded the internship. After he submitted the requisite security forms, it wasofficial. He reported to work a monthlater—on Jan. 7, 2007.The next five months were a whirlwind of work and excitement. Plumbwas assigned to the Office of Presidential Appointments and Scheduling,where his chief responsibility was4WINTER 2008 LYNN MAGAZINEhandling the numerous invitations thepresident receives.Whether it was lunch in the famedWest Wing or traversing the halls of theEEOB (Eisenhower Executive OfficeBuilding), Plumb was awed by his surroundings. “You walk around thosehalls and can’t help but think of allthe great people who have been therebefore,” he says.One person he especially enjoyedmeeting was then-White House PressSecretary Tony Snow. “He reallyimpressed me. I later decided to takea minor in journalism,” says Plumb,whose major is business.But it was two historic and vastlydifferent events that distinguishedPlumb’s time in Washington—the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history onApril 16 at Virginia Tech University inBlacksburg, Va., and the visit of QueenElizabeth II and Prince Philip to theCapitol on May 7.The April tragedy took place on thesame day Plumb’s internship groupphoto was scheduled with PresidentGeorge W. Bush. The photo still tookplace, but much of the president’sschedule had to be reworked. “TheWhite House is the center of the worldwhen something of that magnitudeoccurs,” Plumb says.The visit by the royals in May wastheir first to the United States in 16years and was met with much fanfare.Plumb’s duty was none other than overseeing the “gold rope” area where thequeen’s special guests gathered. From hisvantage point, Plumb had a perfect viewof the arriving dignitaries.On May 15, Plumb’s internshipconcluded. Now back at Lynn androoming with his older brother Eric, a2007 graduate of Lynn now enrolled inthe M.B.A. program, he’s glad he tookthat chance a year and a half ago.“If you put your mind to something, you can do it,” he says. “I’m living proof.”

The magazinelists Lynn as having awarded an average of 14,806 in need-based aid—aid thatwas distributed broadly to roughly 55 percent of Lynn’s students in 2006-07. Theaverage merit award at the university was 16,116 during that period, the thirdhighest amount on the “Master’s-South” list. There were 86 schools included onthe list.Last year was the first time that Lynn was listed as having the highest concentration of international students among peer institutions in the South. In its 2005issue, U.S. News had Lynn ranked second in that category. The university was thirdin this category in 2004.CorrectionIn a listing of awards to 2007 graduates in ourlast issue (Summer 2007, p. 3), a few nameswere grouped incorrectly for four of the awards.The correct listing for those awards follows.

Led by Chad Barr, assistant professor in the College of HospitalityManagement, and Kristen Moraz, Lynn’s director of athletics, the group followed thejourney of a young shepherd boy, Santiago, who was the central character in PauloCoelho’s popular work, The Alchemist. The students read this fable prior to and duringthe tour. Their trip began in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and continued on to thesouthern Algarve coast and Seville, Spain, where the group witnessed flamencodancing, bullfighting and the nation’s largest cathedral, which houses the tombof Christopher Columbus. Heading south, the group traveled to the Rock ofGibraltar, across the straits and into Morocco. “Visiting Portugal, Spain andMorocco in one program was an ambitious feat,” saysMoraz, “but ultimately one the students thrivedon. The journey was one of self-reflection, selfunderstanding and leadership development.”WINTER 2008 LYNN MAGAZINE5

Theycome to explore and gain knowledge abouttheir entire beings. With this in mind, theWellness Department was created at Lynnin 2006 to offer a variety of developmentalopportunities to help shape students’ lifestylesand life paths long after they have reachedtheir academic goals.As part of this wellness initiative and inconjunction with the Office of Residence Life,this year Lynn established its first-ever HealthyOptions living community located on the 2ndfloor of the Lynn Residence Center. The flooris now home to 67 students dedicated to making healthy choices for themselves as well asmaintaining a healthy environment.“We had many requests from both studentsand parents looking for a structured way ofemphasizing the positive aspects of campuslife,” says Gary Martin, associate dean forstudent wellness. “Returning students wantedto be clustered with like-minded and wellnessoriented friends.”Students each sign an agreement at thebeginning of the academic year that states theyagree to comply with the standards of thecommunity and it is their responsibility to liveup to the floor’s expectations, which include:remaining tobacco-freekeeping the area substance-freekeeping alcohol use and its effects out ofthe communitykeeping the community free of theuse/misuse, effect or impact of bothlegal and illegal drugsAs part of living in the healthy optionswing, which includes a triple room with a private bathroom in the building that also contains the gym and dance studio, students alsoenjoy many free benefits, including monthlyexcursions (airboat rides, water adventures,rock climbing and hiking), nutritious snacks,daily and weekly fitness classes, stress management education and a personal wellness plan.“We have been pleasantly surprised at thenumber of students who signed up for thefloor,” says Jeff Cooper, director of residencelife. “We even created a waiting list at one point.”

I use a SMART Board with color-coding and stepby-step problem solving. I believe students need to be activeparticipants in their education, so I keep them alert andfocused. I surprise them with pop questions. I require themto double-check my calculations. I constantly ask “Why?”because if students know the “why” in their math work,math makes more sense to them.Tell us about a time a student really surprised you.I remember one student who had to repeat my class. Shehad always been told that she would never be good at math.After she passed the first test, she couldn’t believe it. Sheasked me to make sure the test was hers. Then she askedme to grade it again. I had to convince her that, yes, it washer test. I’ll never forget her smile and wide eyes after realizing she had accomplished this feat. After that, her entireoutlook changed. She told me, “I now know what I needto do to be successful.”You recently took on another job, director of academicadvising. How has advising changed at Lynn?As part of the university’s strategic plan, Lynn 2020, we’veimproved academic advising. Now every new student—whether he or she is a freshman, transfer or readmittedstudent—is assigned an academic advisor who is a full-timefaculty member. Once students have declared a major, theyare assigned an advisor in their major who will remain withthem throughout their years at Lynn.Our new advising initiative is a work in progress, but we’vealready received positive feedback. Students are pleased thattheir advisors meet with them from the start to plan theirclass schedules. And they like the fact that their advisorscan handle registration and drop/add from their offices.Students no longer have to go from office to office to havepaperwork processed.Two of your campus trademarks deal with transportation—your bike and your classic silver Beetle convertible.The bike allows me to go from Point A to Point B oncampus quickly, as well as get some exercise. My Beetle isa 1979 model; I’m the second owner. Both are “me”—I’measy-going and like to be a little different, but not outlandish.How do you keep such a positive attitude?My motto is, “You only live once, so you might as well likewhat you’re doing.” I’m grateful to [former Lynn President]Donald Ross and [Pine Tree Camps founderand former First Lady] Helen Ross forbelieving in me all those years ago sothat I can do what I love.—Liz McKeyDiane DiCerbo wears many hats on campus. As the longtime director of PineTree Camps held each summer at Lynn, she greets parents and campers everymorning wearing a different cap. Will it be the mini-umbrella cap, the Englishbobby’s hat, the Stetson or the sombrero? They never know until they arrive.It’s the same enthusiasm and warmth she displays while wearing her otherLynn “hats” as algebra instructor and director of academic advising. DiCerboarrived on campus in 1984 to teach at a preparatory school once housed inthe Ritter Academic Center. Then, while Lynn was the College of Boca Raton,she worked in residence halls and taught psychology.

After crashing his share ofdirt bikes as a kid, he moved on to racing Jet Skis and go-karts. By the timehe was 14, he was the UAE’s nationalJet Ski champion.At 16, Debs took up scuba diving,and over the years, he racked up thecertifications—Open Water Diver,Advanced Open Water Diver, RescueDiver, Divemaster and Scuba Instructor.Soon, it was time for college, andhe enrolled at Lynn, where he was aresident assistant and loved the familyatmosphere. And because he had spentsummers with his parents in PompanoBeach, Fla., he was in familiar territory.As another plus, he was near the beachwhere he could continue Jet Skiing.He entered a few endurance races, buteventually quit due to the expense.10 WINTER 2008 LYNN MAGAZINE“There was no way I could continuewithout full-time sponsors,” he explains.“Even if I came in second or third place,I would still be in the hole by a fewhundred dollars.”After graduation, Debs returned toDubai for three years and worked at acomputer service center. But becausehe missed the outdoors, he looked fora new hobby. So, he began racing gokarts—or as he describes them, “servingtrays on wheels.”Debs explains, “They reach speedsof about 100 miles per hour. You’re oneinch off the ground, and you don’t slowdown for turns.”He hit the Middle East racing circuit. A highlight was a 24-hour racein Dubai. Through the competition,he raised about 60,000 for the charityMédecins Sans Frontières (MedicineWithout Borders).Debs returned to the United Statesin 2001 and weighed his career options.Wanting a career that would allow himto be outdoors, he took helicopter flyinglessons and eventually landed a job inthe emergency medical services field inSalt Lake City.Gradually he worked his way backto Pompano Beach via jobs in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Ohio. Today hecommutes to Miami, where he works asa pilot for Air Methods, transportingpatients between area hospitals or fromthe Keys and the Bahamas to hospitalsin South Florida.Here in Florida, Debs enjoys thewater sports—Jet Skis and scuba diving, but at a more relaxed pace. Heprefers to dive for lobsters every nowand then, or join friends for leisurelyJet Ski rides from Pompano Beach toCrandon Park in Miami or Daytonato St. Augustine.“The water,” Debs says, “is mytrue love.”
