Last month, the Volunteer Center partnered with the Office for Student Retention and Pearl City C.A.T.S. for the Living Learning Community (LLC) Common Hour to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. LLC student Moody Fuller read the children a story about Dr. King’s life. The children then worked on arts and crafts projects with the LLC students. The Office for Student Retention would like to thank the following LLC students for participating in this remarkable and fun-filled day of service: Christopher Bartfield, Arielle Gavin, Cherise Latta, Daniella Gonzalez, Marcus Motes, Alyssa Kelley, Jacob Kaplan, Moody Fuller, Juergen Henry and Kevin Williams.

History was made at FAU last month as philanthropists Carole and Barry Kaye committed $16 million—the largest gift in FAU history—to create the Barry Kaye College of Business. The gift names the college and establishes an endowment that will support academic programs, faculty and students. In addition, the gift is eligible for matching funds from the State of Florida Trust Fund for University Major Gifts, raising its total value to $32 million.
