Title: THE ROOT AND HUE OF SCIENCE: BLACK FEMALE STEM PROFESSIONALS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY.
Creator: Wildgoose-Carroll, J. Janell, Bryan, Valerie C., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Educational Leadership and Research Methodology, College of Education
Abstract/Description: Research shows that the United States of America is losing its competitive stance in the area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) relative to other countries. One strategy that could solve this problem would be to diversify the field of STEM to include more women of color.

Show moreResearch shows that the United States of America is losing its competitive stance in the area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) relative to other countries. One strategy that could solve this problem would be to diversify the field of STEM to include more women of color. The purpose of this narrative, qualitative research study was to explore the lived experiences of Black women with advanced/terminal degrees who are current STEM professionals in Palm Beach County. Fourteen Black women participated in this study, which yielded four major findings that included early exposure to education’s value. importance of a strong sense of self/self-identity, challenges, and discrimination. The hope is that these findings will provide local administrators and elected officials/decision-makers (e.g., the school district, higher education, and government agencies) with information that could advise future practices and policies to close the gap of under-represented Black women in STEM industries.

Title: What Do Road Impact Fees Have to Do With It? Resolving Transportation Problems in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Creator: Harari, Laurie Leora, Merlin, Louis A., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: This thesis examined the road impact fee realities of 11 of Palm Beach County’s public and private sector land development stakeholders. To learn more about how the county’s road impact fee ordinance works in practice, in 2021, 11 stakeholders were interviewed about their experiences with the county’s road impact fee program. Transportation impact fee programs may help relieve development-driven traffic externalities and cost burdens, so long as suitable methodologies are applied (Burge &...
Show moreThis thesis examined the road impact fee realities of 11 of Palm Beach County’s public and private sector land development stakeholders. To learn more about how the county’s road impact fee ordinance works in practice, in 2021, 11 stakeholders were interviewed about their experiences with the county’s road impact fee program. Transportation impact fee programs may help relieve development-driven traffic externalities and cost burdens, so long as suitable methodologies are applied (Burge & Ihlanfeldt, 2013; Stahl, 2021). In 2021, Palm Beach County’s road impact fee ordinance required all county development applicants to pay a specified road impact fee dollar amount, regardless of the proposed project’s location and traffic impact, with exceptions (Moore, 2021b; Salour, 2021). Key arguments for and against the county’s road impact fees touch on differences between travel needs, land use patterns, and transit potential in the county’s urban and rural/suburban communities (Clemente, 2021; Hernandez, 2021; Salour, 2021).

Title: Analysis of coastal morphodynamic zones based on detailed mapping in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Creator: Warner, Matthew Thomas, Florida Atlantic University, Finkl, Charles W.
Abstract/Description: Dynamic geomorphic environments such as the inner continental shelf challenge understanding and compromise predictive abilities because most efforts fail to establish seafloor topologies. A new approach, which takes stock of existing conditions and monitors changes in coastal morphologic features, is needed. Procedures employed in this study feature a morphodynamic context that considers interdependence between hydrodynamic processes, seafloor morphologies, and sequences of change. This study...
Show moreDynamic geomorphic environments such as the inner continental shelf challenge understanding and compromise predictive abilities because most efforts fail to establish seafloor topologies. A new approach, which takes stock of existing conditions and monitors changes in coastal morphologic features, is needed. Procedures employed in this study feature a morphodynamic context that considers interdependence between hydrodynamic processes, seafloor morphologies, and sequences of change. This study delineates morphodynamic zones by interpreting coastal morphologic features mapped from large-scale aerial photographs. Resulting maps display morphologic features and morphodynamic zones for the inner continental shelf of central Palm Beach County, Florida. The technique improves on existing methods by providing quantitative data on submarine morphology that can be monitored over time to analyze changes in form and association. Increased understanding of inner continental shelf morphologic features, and their variation through time, provides insight into the sequences of change, which may include recognition of erosion hot spots.

Title: The effects of variables in oral history: Palm Beach County, Florida.
Creator: Steinhauer, Lise M., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: This study examines six oral history projects that were conducted over fifty years in Palm Beach County, Florida. The projects recorded the history of African American neighborhoods in Delray Beach and Boca Raton; individual lives in their place and times; the pioneer and Flagler eras in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach; and people, places, and events chosen by oral history students at Florida Atlantic University.

Show moreThis study examines six oral history projects that were conducted over fifty years in Palm Beach County, Florida. The projects recorded the history of African American neighborhoods in Delray Beach and Boca Raton; individual lives in their place and times; the pioneer and Flagler eras in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach; and people, places, and events chosen by oral history students at Florida Atlantic University. As with oral histories generally, those studied inherently contain numerous variables concerning their (1) historical context, (2) format, and (3) participants, which clearly affect the outcome of recorded interviews and their written representations. Among the variables considered, this study demonstrates that it is the purpose of a single oral history or project that most significantly affects the others, and which is closely tied to the academic disciplines or backgrounds of its planner and interviewer. Although oral history is a tool with many uses, it is also a discipline within that of history. As such, oral historians are obliged to preserve raw history in a form that is protected, accessible, and useful for interpretation by potential researchers in a variety of fields. Regardless of their primary purpose, oral historians from all disciplines should remain aware of this underlying purpose: to provide for the future.

Title: THE HISTORY OF GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH, WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA.
Creator: SEGALL, EDWARD Z., Florida Atlantic University, Curl, Donald W.
Abstract/Description: This thesis was prepared as a study of a new church located within a rapidly growing county. The fifteen year history is one of enthusiasm, devotion and construction countered by disappointment, dissension and overextension. Economic problems dominate the history of the church. Whether the economic situation will eclipse the spiritual goals is a question yet to be resolved.

Title: Belt of blight: Public policy and housing segregation in Palm Beach County, 1960-1986.
Creator: Lands, LeeAnn Bishop., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description: In this study, public documents, zoning maps, and government correspondence are used to examine how local, state, and federal housing policy maintained segregated and blighted low-income housing along Palm Beach County's I-95 corridor. Since the 1960s, federal housing subsidies were cut and responsibility for provision of affordable housing devolved upon local officials. Additionally, state officials were stagnated by discussions of the role of government in the provision of affordable...

Since the 1960s, federal housing subsidies were cut and responsibility for provision of affordable housing devolved upon local officials. Additionally, state officials were stagnated by discussions of the role of government in the provision of affordable housing. At the local level, land-use patterns and ineffective use of federal programs prevented the expansion of housing opportunities for minorities and the poor, thereby maintaining racial and socioeconomic segregation.

Title: Archaeological investigations at the Gumbo Limbo site (8PB5375), Palm Beach County, Florida.
Creator: Dean, Jonathan Andrew., Florida Atlantic University, Fradkin, Arlene
Abstract/Description: Between January and August 2002, the Department of Anthropology conducted an archaeological investigation of site 8PB5375, located on a barrier island in southeastern Palm Beach County, Florida. Testing revealed that the site contains three occupational components that all date to the Glades I early period (2450 to 1450 B.P.). The components consists of (1) three midden areas, each consisting of numerous kitchen middens and an open, public space; (2) a sand/shell midden containing dense bone...
Show moreBetween January and August 2002, the Department of Anthropology conducted an archaeological investigation of site 8PB5375, located on a barrier island in southeastern Palm Beach County, Florida. Testing revealed that the site contains three occupational components that all date to the Glades I early period (2450 to 1450 B.P.). The components consists of (1) three midden areas, each consisting of numerous kitchen middens and an open, public space; (2) a sand/shell midden containing dense bone and ash; and (3) a small shell midden with an associated cooking pit. These components are interpreted to represent several temporary habitation campsites, a seasonal extractive camp, and a short-term campsite, respectively. The occupations retain Archaic influences yet follow Glades developmental trends of increasing pottery usage, reliance on fishing, and coastal occupation. The study provides basic information on precolumbian subsistence and settlement patterns in Palm Beach County, an area that has received little archaeological attention.

Title: GOVERNMENT AS A STIGMA MODERATOR: THE CASE OF PALM BEACH COUNTY’S ADDICTION RECOVERY INDUSTRY.
Creator: Moura, David, Miller, Hugh, Florida Atlantic University, School of Public Administration, College for Design and Social Inquiry
Abstract/Description: This dissertation investigates how government affects stigmatization processes. This line of inquiry is important for two reasons. First, existing models of stigmatization leave government out of stigma processes, or only mention government as a sanctioning body that comes in after stigma processes are complete. Organizational theory research therefore underplays the extent to which government action can influence its citizens. Second, stigma research in public administration and government...
Show moreThis dissertation investigates how government affects stigmatization processes. This line of inquiry is important for two reasons. First, existing models of stigmatization leave government out of stigma processes, or only mention government as a sanctioning body that comes in after stigma processes are complete. Organizational theory research therefore underplays the extent to which government action can influence its citizens. Second, stigma research in public administration and government research is limited to examining how government can assist stigmatized groups, and not on how government affects stigma processes. This inadvertently gives the impression that government is not part of stigma processes. While this may be due to the bulk of stigma theory research being located in the management literature, it is nonetheless a significant omission. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine how government can influence the proliferation of stigma to then find government’s location in the stigma process.

An econometric model was chosen as the appropriate method for study as the said county is characteristic of a service based final demand economy. An underlying objective was to utilize data on income and employment variables available on a consistent bases from a Regional Economic Information System Data computer tape provided by the u.s. Department of Commerce 1983. These data distinguished among 11 industries and referred to the years 1967-1983. In conclusion the model shows that ordinary least squares estimation results were generally significant in the signas and goodness of fit. However evidence of positive serial correlation of the disturbances was detected and the results did not change substantially after applying the Cocran-Orcutt procedure.

Title: Elisha Newton Dimick and his influence on the development of Palm Beach.
Creator: Oldfather, Susan J., Florida Atlantic University, Curl, Donald W.
Abstract/Description: This thesis discusses Elisha Newton "Cap" Dimick from 1876 when he arrived in Palm Beach until his death in 1919. Dimick, one of the area's first settlers, arrived when the island was a wilderness. When he died Palm Beach was a world renowned resort. Henry Morrison Flagler, Standard Oil magnate, is often cited as the founder of Palm Beach and the initiator of tourism in the town.

Although Flagler's contribution to the town was great, Cap Dimick must be chosen as Palm Beach's founder. Dimick's efforts led to the opening up of isolated Palm Beach. His Cocoanut Grove House was the town's first tourist hotel and its charm successfully enticed many northerners to the area, including Henry Flagler.

Show moreSeveral unusual circumstances combined to influence the development of the Palm Beach Police Department. Seasonal activity in the Town of Palm Beach created a unique environment for the men who worked as police officers. Even though the town incorporated in 1911, year-round law enforcement consisted of one man, Joseph Borman, for the first ten years. Borman's interaction with the town's founding fathers, before and after incorporation, played a significant role in how council members dealt with law enforcement on the island. Despite the pressures of policing an area many of the world's wealthiest people called home at least part of the year, Chief Borman insisted on courteous professionalism from his officers. This helped the Palm Beach Police Department overcome the death of two police officers, terrible hurricanes, Prohibition, and the inevitable growing pains experienced adjusting to new technologies and social pressures. The department continues to exemplify Borman's high standards.
