We are excited to welcome new staff members for the 2026-2027 school year. Ms. Marie Cadet will be joining our Counseling Department.

Ms. Cadet says, My name is Ms. Cadet, and I am an experienced educator with over 20 years of service in education. I was a school counselor at Atlantic Community High School in Palm Beach County Florida. I am passionate about supporting and inspiring students to reach their full potential.
I earned my master’s degree in School Counseling from Barry University and have dedicated my career to helping students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
Outside of my professional life, I am a proud mother to my son, Marcus, who is currently a freshman at University of West Florida.
One quote that reflects my philosophy and that I often share with students is:
“I know the sky is not the limit because there are footprints on the moon.” By: Paul Brandt"

Please help us give a Wildcat Welcome to Ms. Cadet!

AI isn't coming. It's already here — and most organizations are still figuring out where to start.

On May 20, we're gathering HR, talent, and business leaders in Miami for an evening built around one urgent question: How do you lead through AI transformation — practically, not theoretically?

Our Thrive Forward Leaders' Forum: AI Ready, hosted by Dr. Selen Turner '08 (Partner at Advantage Performance Group), the School of Business and Public Administration, and the Master of Science in Human Resource Development program, features:

🔷 Trudy-Ann A. '02, AI Strategist — a keynote on where we are, where we're headed, and how to make AI immediately actionable
🔷 Jonathan Hodge, President & CEO of Advantage Performance Group — a practical leadership framework for AI readiness you can use right away
🔷 Nelson Santos '25 & Britney Mapang '25 from Barry University's AI Center — a live showcase of an award-winning AI Hackathon project turned real-world go-to-market command center dashboard

Plus roundtables, peer conversations, and a 90-day action plan you build that night.

Free to attend. High-value. Limited seats.
