Oct. 15 Bernier Show at DSC looks at: academics partnering with industry, research to help the lagoon, students stepping up for civic duty

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 12, 2015) – It takes a village to build multi-faceted economic

development – not to mention stepping up civic duty to foster regional pride and high quality of life. Such topics with DSC faculty and students will open discussion during the Thursday, Oct. 15, Marc Bernier Show airing live, 3-5 p.m. from Daytona State College’s News-Journal Center in Daytona Beach.

WNDB 93.5FM/1150 AM’s special series of Bernier’s show hosted by DSC focuses on community topics of interest, news, wide-ranging guests and call-in time for listeners.

In the 3-4 hour, top DSC STEM and allied health professors will discuss hot jobs and industries, noting internships that ‘work’ for study and connections. From chemistry to medical assisting to engineering – clinical, real-world experience is critical. Students will add to the conversation with on-the-job experiences.
•       Tamara Mottler, assistant chair, School of Health Careers
•       Dr. Yohani Kayinamura, prof, School of Biology/Physical Sciences
•       Dr. Alireza Rahroo, assistant chair, School of Engineering Technology

Also in that hour, DSC coaches and students will be on hand to share their community outreach work – part of their life as student-athletes at DSC.

At 4:15, DSC art professor Kandy Lopez, an accomplished painter, will explain a public service mural underway at Daytona Beach Police Dept. with two DSC art students. The 4:30-5 slot will feature DSC’s Institute for Marine & Environmental Science director Dr. Debra Woodall and students whose research to benefit the Indian River Lagoon will highlight a special symposium called SHORE on Nov. 6.

In addition to news of the day, Bernier’s next segment features “The Money All-Stars,” Joe Derosa and Duke Seegers, talking about the week’s stock market ebb and flow.

All are welcome to attend or call in. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. to the Elaine & Thurman Gillespy, Jr. Theatre.
