In Duval County TenBroeck taught innovative curriculums focused on students interested in professionalizing in medicine or coastal sciences; her initiatives pair entrepreneurship with a social mission. One of those is to channel “reemerging citizens”– formerly incarcerated individuals, veterans, people in recovery, women starting over – into the farming enterprises.The “Water/Ways” exhibition explores the endless motion of the water cycle—from water’s effect on the landscape, settlement and migration, to its impact on culture and spirituality.
