More than 200 people attended the Boca Raton Regional Chamber’s monthly breakfast in the ballroom at Boca Pointe, where Lynn University President Dr. Kevin Ross gave a campus update and outlined the school’s plans through 2034.
Ross said the university is working to meet its own needs and the city’s growth. He said the school wants to help students see what is possible after graduation, and he noted that 13% of graduates earn more than the national average. He also pointed to academic and athletic achievements, including a new softball stadium, and invited people to visit campus.
Chamber President and CEO Troy McLellan called Lynn “a key stakeholder” in the city. He announced that the Chamber’s 46th Holiday Auction will run Nov. 27 through 30 and will be entirely online this year.
Historian Dr. Robert Watson gave the keynote speech about his 50th book, “Declaration: The Story of American Independence.” He described the Declaration’s signers as fallible but visionary, and said the new form of government had no precedent. Former TV anchor Michael Williams, now on Lynn’s faculty, served as emcee.
McLellan named Joyce Hunter Chamber ambassador of the year.
