Happening on the ‘Hill’ – Students Win Statewide “Hackathon” & FAMU Ranks Among Top 25 Health Sciences Programs

FAMU Students Place Second in Statewide “Hackathon” Competition

Students from Florida A&M University (FAMU) took second place in the MuniMod competition in Orlando. The team’s winning product was “Accru,” an application dedicated to matching interested local businesses with city-owned vacant property. Working with local development departments and redevelopment agencies, this proposed database will use multiple mediums to connect businesses and the public at large with vacant municipal properties. The University of West Florida took first place in the competition. FAMU took home a second-place prize of $5,000.

Hosted by the Florida League of Cities, MuniMod is the only civic tech competition in Florida to focus solely on solutions for cities.

Medical Marijuana Community Forum

FAMU invites you to a Medical Marijuana Community Forum the University will be hosting on Tuesday, April 30 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Community Center (438 West Brevard St.).

Panelists include Peter Harris, director of the FAMU Medical Marijuana Education and Research Initiative, Cynthia Hughes-Harris, Ph.D., dean of the FAMU School of Allied Health Sciences, Dr. Yvette Mignon, Health and Wellness Centers of North Florida, cardiologist and physician Dr. Earl Britt, Alexis McMillan, pharmacist at Economy Drugstore, Miaisha Mitchell, executive of the Greater Frenchtown Revitalization Council, and Chief Jeffery Beasley of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.

They will foster an open dialogue about medical marijuana, including the difference between medical and illegal marijuana and the necessary steps to access medical marijuana. Light refreshments will be served.

Contact Angela Hardiman for more info at Angela.Hardiman@famu.edu or (850) 561-2456.
