New Student Center closer to realization<\/strong><\/p>\n

After many years of work to secure funding to build a new student center, Florida Gov. Scott approved the project in July. Once complete, the center will feature an integrated approach to student
\nservices and workforce\/career success. <\/p>\n

DSC President Tom LoBasso congratulated the District Board of Trustees its continued support and gave
\nspecial thanks to Mori and Forough Hosseini, who dedicated much time and effort to gain the $18.9 million needed to start the project. In prior years, the College received $10.4 million. This new funding allows DSC to get it started in designing and building the multi-service facility on the Daytona Beach Campus. <\/p>\n

In other funding news, the budget includes continued support for WDSCTV and new funding for online learning programs.<\/p>\n

Daytona State College President Tom LoBasso was delighted to receive a $6,000 check last month from the Daytona Beach Kiwanis Club, a result of proceeds from the annual fund-raising golf tournament held in partnership with the college. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s rewarding to work with excellent partners like the Kiwanis Club,\u201d said LoBasso. \u201cOur students benefit so much from scholarship support like this generous check.\u201d <\/p>\n
