Bethune-Cookman University, the historically Black educational institution in Daytona Beach, Florida, has signed a partnership agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The agreement calls for the university and the EPA to cooperate on faculty research, student internships, technical assistance, seminars and mini courses, outreach programs, and infrastructure.
Edison O. Jackson, president of Bethune-Cookman University, said that “we will now be able to efficiently compete for relative research grants and take advantage of other great environmental opportunities. Most importantly, we will open up many avenues for our students, faculty and surrounding communities, as well.”
