Free Florida Tech Alumnus Lecture Will Be ‘Whale Done!’

– Nationally respected educator and speaker, Dave Force, will present “Whale Done,” a free lecture about his experiences working with the animals at Sea
World, on Oct. 26 at 4 p.m. in Florida Tech’s Skurla Auditorium. The 1973 Florida Tech bachelor’s degree graduate is vice president of animal training and
education at Sea World San Antonio.
