Spotlight on Alumni: Networking Technology Program Launches New Career for Navy Veteran

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 31, 2017 – Andrew Protasio graduated from South Florida State College in December with an associate degree in Network Systems Technology. He straightaway scored a job with the city of Sebring’s information technology team.

He recalled a job interview he said was easily one of the most nerve-wracking he’d been through.

“Before the interview could start, they left me in a room with a desktop computer that wasn’t functioning,” said Protasio. “To get interviewed, I had to get into the machine, check the boards, and have it up and running—something I’d never heard done in an interview.”

Protasio found the problem, passed muster in the interview, and said he has settled into a job that’s right for him—one where he can use the skills he honed at SFSC.

The SFSC Network Systems Technology program didn’t just prepare Protasio for troubleshooting computer problems and managing a local area network, he probed the underworld of unwelcomed network intrusion, more popularly known as hacking.

“Hands down, taking ethical hacking classes were the most fascinating and fun classes in SFSC’s Network Systems Technology program,” Protasio said, referring to a two-course sequence taught by Brian Bohlman, instructor for SFSC’s Computer Networking Technology programs.

In the two-semester course, Bohlman takes students through the paces of how to penetrate, test, and exploit connected computer systems so that they learn how to prevent hacking once they’re on the job.

“Bohlman showed us the tools we can use to beat back the threats that are out there,” Protasio said. “I learned what malicious actors are really capable of doing to a network I would one day manage.”

Protasio said he has put those skills to work looking for vulnerabilities in protecting the city’s network, one that sees traffic from the public looking to access everyday services, like taking care of their utility bills.

Protasio didn’t come to computing as a novice when he started at SFSC. The United States Navy veteran did a four-year stint handling cryptology and satellite communications. He joined the Navy in Guam, the U.S. territory in the western Pacific, where he was born and raised. The island was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and liberated by the U.S. in the Battle of Guam.

“Guam was a beautiful, almost idyllic place to grow up,” Protasio said. “You could almost say it was miniature version of Hawaii.”

After his discharge, Protasio stepped away from working in technology. He moved to Highlands County, where his family had relocated from Guam.

“In a complete switch from what I did in the Navy, I started working in the restaurant industry,” he said. “For the next 10 years, I worked my way up from server to management.”

In that time, Protasio started a family, but the vagaries of restaurant hours caused a strain, keeping him away from his son. Using his veterans benefits, he decided to register’s for SFSC’s networking program and complete it as fast as he could.

“I took a full load and took summer courses, too,” he said. “I finished up so fast I sort of get whiplash looking back at my time on the SFSC Highlands Campus.”

He said he learned invaluable on-the-job skills through an internship arranged by SFSC. “We went out to the airport and, working with a new enterprise, put down cables and set up a network,” Protasio said. “Those are essential real-world skills that are difficult to master in a classroom.”

Protasio heaped praise on his instructor, Bohlman. “He’s someone just like me, someone who worked his way up the restaurant industry but is now in academia,” he said. “He knows what it’s like to work in one sector and move to another—he gets the real world and is more of a mentor to me that he realizes.”

Protasio was so taken with learning the darker side of computing, he decided to return to SFSC for more. “I’ve gone back to the SFSC Highlands Campus and started the Digital Forensics program,” he said.

SFSC offers a college credit certificate in Digital Forensics that students can complete in less than a year. Students learn investigative techniques to recover and examine trace material found in digital devices, such as computers and cellular phones, often as part of a crime, corporate investigation, or to analyze unauthorized network intrusion.

As a student who started college as an adult, Protasio said he felt at home at SFSC. “I was prepared to be surrounded by a lot of people younger than me,” he said. “There were plenty of them, but you’ll also sit next to someone in class who’s older than you—there’s a place for everyone.”

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 31, 2017 – On Jan. 27, the SFSC Panther baseball and softball teams took to their respective diamonds for the opening games of the 2017 season.

The Lady Panther softball team, under coach Carlos Falla, went up against Palm Beach State College at 2 p.m. for their season opener. SFSC alumnus and Community Resource Deputy Zachary Lehman threw out the first pitch.

Coach Rick Hitt’s Panther baseball team faced off against Eastern Florida State College at 3 p.m.  Highlands County’s newly elected sheriff, Paul Blackman, threw out the first pitch.

On hand to add nostalgia to opening day was former Major League player Willie Hernández. Now a resident of Sebring, Hernandez rose to prominence as a former relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, and Detroit Tigers. In 1984, Hernandez was named the Cy Young Award winner, scored the MVP Award, and played with the World Series winning Tigers—all in the same season.

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 27, 2017 – A recent Friday saw SFSC mathematics professor James J. Moye—who drops James in favor of J.J.— holed up in classroom B310 on the Highlands Campus, a room where he teaches all his classes. Sporting a dark blue untucked SFSC T-shirt and jeans, he sat grading quizzes.

“I guess you can say I’ve belonged to SFSC ever since I was in high school,” Moye said. “After all, I attended SFSC college classes while in high school, I graduated from the Highlands Campus, and I’ve been teaching classes for the college in one form or another since I earned my bachelor’s degree and started teaching.”

Moye has been a fixture at SFSC for 25 years.

Moye teaches the most rigorous of mathematics courses on the SFSC Highlands Campus: Precalculus Algebra and Trigonometry, and Calculus II and III.

When it comes to teaching mathematics, Moye leaves no room for yield or curves. He expects much from his students. Students learn on day one that Moye doesn’t allow late entry into class. He stands out for his nontraditional approach to teaching mathematics. He asks calculus students to do the occasional term paper. Students tell others considering Moye’s courses that they should expect quizzes at the start of class. Moye said that’s the case, noting students learn when expectations are set high.

“I’m always here for my students,” said Moye, who noted he can’t recall when he last missed a teaching day. “If I’m not here, the students aren’t learning. Consequently, I expect them to be on time. So once I walk in, it’s all about me teaching them math as best as I can.”

Moye said students appreciate his approach to teaching. “I find students readily and easily accept that learning a rigorous subject matter requires focus.”

Lynn MacNeill, interim dean of Arts and Sciences, said of Moye, “I’ve known him since he was student in my speech class as a freshman. His commitment to getting his students engaged with their often difficult coursework has earned him their respect year after year.”

“He has a knack for taking difficult math problems and getting students to understand them,” said Daniel Witt, after taking a couple of courses with Moye.

“I’m going to use his approach when working with my students,” said Witt, a graduate of SFSC’s Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education program, who now teaches mathematics to fourth graders at Bowling Green Elementary School in Moye’s home county, Hardee.

It was at Hardee Senior High School that Moye discovered he had a knack for mathematics. “Math just came naturally to me,” Moye said. “Probably because I had to think about it, the concepts made sense to me.”

Moye made his first connection with SFSC while in high school. He was one of the early dually enrolled students at Hardee Senior High School, taking a regular course load through the high school while also taking college credit courses at SFSC.

His next stop was the SFSC Highlands Campus, where he earned his associate degree and the distinction of “Top Graduate” at his commencement.

After two years studying mathematics education at the University of South Florida—the only gap in time he wasn’t associated with SFSC— Moye returned to Hardee County and resumed his connection with the college by teaching dually enrolled students at his former high school.

“While teaching a class of dually enrolled students at Hardee, SFSC’s mathematics and science department chair observed me in the classroom and asked me to teach at the college,” said Moye. “First I started out as an adjunct teaching part time for a few years before coming onboard full time.”

Now in his 16th year teaching full time on the SFSC Highlands Campus, Moye recently earned two distinctions. This year, he will conclude his two-year appointment to the Carol Emery Endowed Teaching Chair, established by Emery, a retired SFSC mathematics professor and intended to honor instructors in mathematics.

“The appointment to the endowed chair came with a monetary award that I used to fund the purchase of touch board that replaces the old whiteboard and marker setup I had in my classroom,” Moye said. “This eases the mechanics of getting formulae and equations up for the students.”

In December, Moye received the 2016 President’s Meritorious Award for his excellence in the classroom. Moye said the announcement of the award came at a special moment for him.

“The award was announced at our annual holiday luncheon where I happened to be seated with Professor Emery, who had dropped by to share the holiday spirit with her former colleagues,” Moye recalled. “Receiving the award with her looking on meant a great deal to me.”

Moye credits his success in academia to his parents. “Their guidance, support, and love shaped who I am,” he said. “They never stopped stressing the importance of education to me and my brother.”

When Moye isn’t on campus, he shares a Sebring home with his wife, both of whom look forward to out-of-town trips, sometimes following Moye’s beloved Tamp Bay Rays on road games.

Between grading quizzes in his classroom in the quiet of the Friday morning, Moye thought about his bond with SFSC and how he has benefited from it, both as a student and instructor.

“My constant hope is SFSC students take time to be thankful for the opportunity to come to a college classroom as often as they can,” Moye said. “That time is such a wonderful opportunity to learn, one that should not be taken for granted.”

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 25, 2017 – Mary von Merveldt, a nursing instructor at SFSC since 2009, has been promoted to director of the college’s Nursing Education program.

She succeeds Dr. Michele Heston, who took over as dean of the Division of Health Sciences last September.

“I approach my promotion with a dedication to our students and our faculty,” von Merveldt said. “Dr. Heston has done a beautiful job of forming a strong foundation for us and I’m eager to take up the challenge of making this the best learning environment for our students and faculty.”

A native of Union City, Pa., von Merveldt attended Allegheny College, where she studied psychology.

Her academic interests at graduation centered on graduate work in behavioral pharmacology, with a thought of entering medicine.

“The University of Florida has one of the best behavioral pharmacology programs in the country,” said von Merveldt. “So, I started their program right out of Allegheny in 2004.

During her graduate studies, von Merveldt felt a pull that steered her in new, though complementary direction.

“I did behavioral analysis with young people challenged by autism and Down’s syndrome for spell while in Gainesville,” said von Merveldt. “I found that I enjoyed the people aspect to this work.”

She added, “I came to the conclusion my newfound draw to the human side of the work would harmonize with my interest in health sciences by pursuing a career in nursing—it’s a profession that pulls in both the caring and the science.”

Von Merveldt switched programs at Florida, entering the university’s accelerated nursing education track. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and moved directly into the master’s program, preparing her for work as nurse practitioner. She graduated in 2008.

Von Merveldt gained clinical experience in pediatric primary care at Gainesville’s Shands Rehabilitation Hospital and at Central Florida Healthcare in Avon Park, where she relocated to be closer to her husband’s family.

“I met Joseph in Gainesville at church,” von Merveldt. “We wanted to be close to both of our families, but settling in Tennessee so that we would be midway between both was a nonstarter, so we chose Highlands.”

Von Merveldt’s clinical background and studies in the health sciences got her the attention of SFSC’s Nursing Education program. She was hired as an adjunct instructor in 2009 and achieved full-time instructional status in 2012.

When the Nursing Director’s positioned opened late last year, she decided to apply.

“I thought I might be too much of a newbie here at SFSC and that made me hesitant to apply,” von Merveldt said. “But I see so much opportunity here and I’m willing to work and do my part to build on what Dr. Heston has achieved.”

She officially assumed her new role as director on Jan. 2.

“As a new year commenced, so did a new era in leadership for our college’s Nursing Education department,” said Dr. Michele Heston, dean of SFSC’s Division of Health Sciences. “From pharmacology to psychology to primary patient care to classroom nursing instruction, Mary von Merveldt has seen the broad picture of healthcare and is poised to provide strong leadership with a focus on student engagement, lifelong learning, and a commitment to advancing caring science.”

Von Merveldt will continue to teach students, at least through the end of the spring academic term. “I think it’s a good idea to keep your head in the classroom,” she said.

Her husband, who studied agriculture at Florida, currently stays at home to care for their 3-year-old daughter. “She’s a handful and keeps Joseph occupied the whole day,” von Merveldt said.  The couple, who live in Sebring, also have a 7-year-old boy.

 “I go home tired,” she said. “But it’s not a bad tired. It’s the tiredness one gets from applying oneself, learning a new job, and knowing you’ve put in a good day’s effort for your students and peers.”

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 25, 2017 – On Jan. 27, the South Florida State College Panther baseball and softball teams take to the field for their opening games of the 2017 season.

Both teams kick off the season at home on the Panther athletic fields at the SFSC Highlands Campus in Avon Park.

The Panther baseball team goes up against Eastern Florida State College at 3 p.m. and the Lady Panther softball team takes on Palm Beach State College at 2 p.m.

“We’re coming off a solid fall season and are ready to play ball again,” said SFSC baseball coach and athletic director Rick Hitt. “We had a lot good days in the fall with plenty of opportunities for the players to improve themselves and solidify a positon on the spring roster.”

This spring, Hitt will field nine players from last year’s season, joined by 14 freshman. While this year’s team features many first year players, Hitt said the returning Panthers form a “solid nucleus whose peer leadership makes for good team chemistry.”

“All the players, new and returning, showed great effort level during the fall and I’m pleased with where we are as we open the season,” Hitt said.

Hitt will coach his 19^th year at SFSC, and his 29^th season overall. In recognition of his dedication to student athletics, Hitt was inducted into the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) Hall of Fame in 2015 on the recommendation of athletic directors and coaches from across the state.

The Panthers went 27-27 overall in last year’s season, with a .285 batting average.

In preparation for the season opening, a recent practice session saw Hitt throwing pitches to the players from behind a netted screen, bellowing out instructions, advice, and encouragement.

“We work very hard on the details,” Hitt said. “We concentrate on the little things a lot.”

This season marks the second year baseball teams play the flat seam baseball, introduced by the National Junior College Athletic Association to inject more offense into the game, doing away with the high seam baseball.

“The flat seam ball has definitely added some pop into the game offensively,” Hitt noted. A sentiment he said many other coaches voiced while at a recent national conference.

The opening game has the Panthers take on the Titans of Eastern Florida State College. The Titans went 33-19 last season, ranking seventh in the NJCAA Region 8 Baseball Coaches’ Poll.

“Eastern Florida went to the state tournament last year so they are a solid opening day opponent,” Hitt said. “They’re coached by former big leaguer Jeff Tam and he coaches a very talented roster.”

This year, Hitt is assisted by Mark Ward, a former assistant coach at Indian River State College. “Mark teaches at Okeechobee High School and his dedication to our team shows in his driving an hour and half to and from each practice and game,” Hitt said of his new assistant coach.

Conference play starts for Panther baseball March 1, when they travel to Bradenton to play the Manatees of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota.

On opening day, fans of Panther athletics can also take in a softball game when coach Carlos Falla leads the Lady Panthers as they go up against Palm Beach State College.

Falla, now in his 13^th year coaching at SFSC, will lead an experienced team. The Lady Panthers return 11 sophomores to the field this season, with nine first year students making the roster.

“We have a fair amount of potential this year,” said Falla. “They’re out there every day working hard and trying to get better.”

The team finished its last season with overall record of 24-25, winning 17 of its games at home.

“This year I’m seeing a consistent level of depth with this team,” Falla said. “We’re moving from trying to be better than we were yesterday to being better than we were the last play we made.” 

Falla added, “The approach means working with players to correct things between pitches instead of between innings.”

In their opening game, the Lady Panthers of SFSC face off against the Palm Beach State College Panthers, who went 17-37 overall last season.

Amanda Byers returns for her second year as assistant coach to the Lady Panthers. “Amanda is an amazing assistant who shows true dedication to the players,” Falla said of Byers, an SFSC alumna who played under him. “She hammers home the basics, both on and off the field, with an emphasis on academics.

The Lady Panthers don’t start conference play until March 7, when they go up against Hillsborough Community College.

“We invite everyone out to the ball park this season to see great baseball and softball,” Hitt said. “Folks shouldn’t forget that admission to all games is free.”

Hitt had a message for everyone at SFSC.

“We can’t say enough about the support we get from the campus and the community,” he said. “We just want to thank everyone for their support.”

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 24, 2017 – On Jan. 31, the 31-year career of Susie Hale, director of human resources at South Florida State College will come to an end with her retirement.

Hale began her first job at SFSC on Jan. 27, 1986, after moving to Highlands County from her native Miami to join her husband, David, who had already gone ahead of her to Avon Park to open the next chapter in the couple’s life.

“After taking a secretarial test along with dozens of other applicants, the college hired me for a secretarial position,” Hale said.

Hale’s first assignment paired her up with Wil Beumel, who was then the vice president for Academic Affairs and Student Services.

After a quick promotion to administrative assistant, Hale moved to human resources, taking up the post of personnel assistant.

“When I transferred to human resources in 1988, the office was housed in Building I,” Hale said. “Except Building I was a metal building that had been converted to office space from the college’s snack bar and bookstore.” 

At that time, the college’s personnel management team was led by Glenn Little, who now serves as vice president for Administrative Services.

Hale recalled the setting as cramped, unlike her digs in the brick and mortar structure that’s now Building I. “Applicants completed their forms on clipboards sitting across from my desk,” she said. “If we needed to see Glenn, we had to squeeze by the applicants to enter his office.”

“It was wonderful to move into the new Building I in 1994,” she said.

“Susie and I started working together at SFSC during the last century,” chuckled Glenn Little, vice president for Administrative Services when asked to reflect on Hale’s time at SFSC. “In 1988, I headed up the Human Resources office, and Susie was just starting her way up the HR career ladder, one that now ends in a well-deserved retirement for her dedicated service.”

Hale was promoted to employment services manager in 1998 and to assistant director in 2006. She took over as director in 2009.

As she makes her post-retirement plans, Hale looks back on her 31 years at SFSC and marvels at the transformation from small community college to a four-year institution.

“There was a time with then-president Dr. Cornelius would walk around during the welcome back get-together while asking employees what they did during the summer vacation,” Hale remembered. “That’s when we had fewer than 75 employees. The college president can’t do that now-it would take all morning.”

Now SFSC boasts three campuses, a center, and more than 270 full-time faculty members and employees, with dozens of adjunct instructors.

Hale said she takes pride in two accomplishments she helped shepherd through while at SFSC.  In 2001, she served on the Banner implementation team that saw the adoption of the integrated college-wide database management system. Recently, she oversaw the introduction of a web-based employment application, streamlining a paper-intensive process.

“Probably the highlight of my time as director was facilitating the presidential search along with other members of the steering committee,” Hale said. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with three presidents, and I’ve survived three accreditation site visits.”

With nearly a third of a century at SFSC, Hale noted one facet of life on campus hasn’t changed: a student-centered focus. “What has remained is the commitment to student success,” she said.

Hale’s plans for her post-SFSC life call for a mix of travel and tending to her home in Avon Park. After returning from a trip scheduled to start right after her retirement begins, Hale wants to try her hand at changing the look of her home with a slew of redecorating projects.

“I leave SFSC with a sense of a great hope that much good is in store for the college’s future,” Hale said. “One part of me wishes I could be part of that future.”

SFSC employees are welcome to attend Susie Hale retirement part on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2-4 p.m., in H-110, on the SFSC Highlands Campus.

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 23, 2017 – South Florida State College has a new director of its Human Resources Department. Don Kesterson will succeed Susie Hale, who will retire on Jan. 31.

Kesterson will assume his post on Jan. 23, giving him a one-week overlap with Hale and time to tap into her store of SFSC-specific knowledge.

Kesterson comes to SFSC after nearly six years as DeSoto County’s director of human resources.

“I’m excited over my move to SFSC,” Kesterson said from his office in Arcadia, as he wrapped up his work with DeSoto County. “I’m also looking forward to working with the great team of human resources professionals Susie has assembled at the college.”

Before taking on the top human resources job in DeSoto, Kesterson worked in Sebring as a human resources specialist for Highlands County. He started with the county in 2007, not long after retiring from a near 21-year career with the U.S. Air Force.

Kesterson retired with the rank of master sergeant. During his time in the military, he worked in communications, health administration, and personnel services.

“Kesterson is a seasoned human resources professional with a deep background in the field,” said Glenn Little, vice president for Administrative Services. “He has a solid history of service in the public sector— including the military and local government in our service district—all of which makes him superbly qualified to succeed Susie Hale.”

Kesterson holds certification as a human resources professional from the Society for Human Resources Management. He earned a bachelor’s degree in public administration from Barry University. But he kicked off his college education at the Community College of the Air Force.

Kesterson, a native of western Pennsylvania has been married to his wife Zuelene for 24 years. They are parents to three children. The Kestersons live in Lake Placid.

What brought the Keterson family to Florida?

“My wife was born and raised in Lake Placid,” said Kesterson. “So, when I retired from the Air Force, we headed for Highlands County.”

Kesterson follows Penn State football and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

AVON PARK, Fla. – Jan. 19, 2017 – SFSC Lake Placid Center hosted the morning mixer of the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 19, giving the college an opportunity to showcase its latest educational program.

After a networking breakfast, chamber members stepped onto the center’s loading dock for a firsthand look at its transformation to SFSC’s new Supply Chain Management training center.

The new forklifts, wooden pallets, and storage shelves on the dock were just the front piece for SFSC’s foray into training students for one of the state’s growth industries: supply chain management, or the logistics of getting material and products to distribution centers, businesses, and customers.

Tina Gottus, director of SFSC’s XCEL-IT Program, walked the center’s local business guests through a brief PowerPoint presentation touting the growth in trade and goods funneled into Florida from the recent expansion of the Panama Canal and the state’s ports.

Gottus said SFSC’s move into supply chain management education was a natural fit for a state with major ports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Jacksonville—all of which are expanding rapidly from billions in investments. Inland, companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Autozone are some of the major corporations expanding their distribution centers in Florida.

The number of jobs in logistics is poised to grow 22 percent during the next decade. The center of Highlands County lies within 150 miles of 85 percent of Florida’s population, making the area an ideal location to site distribution centers.

SFSC offers a 24-month Associate in Science degree in supply chain management or a one-year logistics and transportation specialist college credit certificate. The programs include courses in warehouse management, transportation and distribution, and inventory management.
