\"N-BriefsLemerand_preview\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Daytona State College has named its 84,000-square-foot student center under construction on its main campus in honor of longtime benefactor and former trustee L. Gale Lemerand. The announcement came at the end of May, followed by tours of the three-story structure, expected to be completed next spring.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The naming marks a formal recognition of Lemerand\u2019s longtime support of the college and its students, including a most recent gift of $2 million to the Daytona State College Foundation.

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Partnering with neighboring Brevard County institution, Eastern Florida State College, DSC is part of a nearly $3.8 million state grant to train Floridians for jobs in aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Called the Florida Actively Collaborating with Training for Individuals in Vocational & Advanced Technology Educational Skills \u2014 or Florida ACTIVATES Consortium\u2014 the partnership is part of Florida\u2019s Job Growth Grant Fund initiative spearheaded by the governor\u2019s office, the Department of Economic Opportunity and Enterprise Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>After four days of competition at the Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, Ariz., Daytona State College claimed its tenth title in 16 seasons at the NJCAA Women’s Golf National Championships.

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThis is a tremendous win for Coach Brown and her team,\u201d said DSC President Thomas LoBasso. \u201cOur women\u2019s golf program has become a dominant force in the NJCAA on and off the course.
