BCU hopes to develop minority researchers
DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman University is joining forces with two other universities to help develop more minority researchers in the sciences.
The Daytona Beach school announced last week it was partnering with the University of Florida and Florida A&M University to train five students each at UF’s campus.
The students will get a hands-on research experience, access to university mentors outside their home institution and career development guidance.
The students also will get a $6,000 stipend for their summers of research.
September rains are South Florida record
WEST PALM BEACH — South Florida’s water managers say last month was the rainiest September in 10 years.
According to the South Florida Water Management District, above-average rainfall across the 16 counties from Orlando to the Keys made September the wettest month of the rainy season so far. Rain over the Kissimmee River basins was particularly significant.
June is typically the rainy season’s wettest month.
The water management district’s meteorologists say they’re expecting the wet weather to continue in the coming days. The month of October historically brings increased tropical activity.
On average, South Florida’s wet season begins around May 20 and ends around Oct. 13. Typically, about two-thirds of the region’s annual rains fall during those 21 weeks.
