Two Edward Waters College professors are working to decipher a protein code that could be used to manipulate and possibly end several wide-spread diseases.
Biology Professors Prabir K. Mandal, Ph.D. and Anita Mandal, Ph.D. collaborated with Mishra Sudish, Ph.D. from Michigan State University to conduct the pilot study. Their research could lay the ground work to end diseases such as hypertension, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
In a new paper published by Bioprocessing & Biotechniques, Dr. Anita Mandal, Dr. Prabir Mandal, and Dr. Mishra Sudish describe using canine cardiac cells and cloned E.coli to observe protein
phosphatase 1 (PP1) and its inhibitors 1 and 2.
“Protein phosphatase is well known for its role in the transfer of viruses between bacteria. If we can decode exactly how this happens, profound health advances can be made in our lifetime,” said Dr. Prabir Mandal.
Key observations were made during the study, but further funding and research are needed to learn how to fully manage the enzymes.
“We have the expertise, but lack the facility to conduct this kind of study at Edward Waters College,” said Dr. Anita Mandal. “That is why our partnership with Michigan State University and Dr. Sudish is so crucial.”
Dr. Anita and Dr. Prabir Mandal are not only partners in science, but they are also partners in life. They have been married for 26 years and have been teaching at Edward Waters College since 2008.

The Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) announced the successful completion of its 2015 JEA Summer Co-Op Program which included four Edward Waters Collegestudents.
The three month exercise enables students to gain real work experience, develop new skills while refining others, and benefit from experts who assisted as they gained hands-on training that shed light on their career options.
“Here at JEA, we take pride in all of our projects,” said Emerging Workforce Strategies Manager, Patricia Sams. “And because of the students each year who make the
Summer Co-Op Program so great, we now have
something else to be proud of.”
The Class of 2015 represented more than 10 countries and included students from colleges and universities stretching from Nashville, Tennessee to Miami, Florida.
Interns also had the opportunity to build up the community and give back through several service projects. This summer students helped build homes for HabiJax and
cared for children with special needs through the Angelwood Center.
The program concluded with an end of summer presentation made by every student to the JEA Summer Leadership Team.
“I really enjoyed the leadership they offered,” said Edward Waters College student and second year co-op participant, Brittany Wiseman. “I’m thrilled that God opened this door for me.”
EWC students Anquinette Calhoun, Kalima Simmons, Spencer Smith and Brittany Wiseman participated in this year’s JEA Summer Co-Op Program.

The Edward Waters College Tiger football team’s 2015 schedule is one of the most challenging ever played by the program with games against Kennesaw State University, Morehouse College, Concordia College and a much anticipated inner-city match-up against the Jacksonville University (JU) Dolphins.
“This is one of the tougher schedules in Edward Waters College history because of the exciting opponents we are competing against this year,” said head football coach, Alvin Wyatt.
“Kennesaw State plays for the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision). Jacksonville University is also a NCAA Division I FCS school. Morehouse and Concordia are both NCAA Division II powerhouses.”
EWC has four home games and seven away games including the “Jacksonville Football Classic” against
the Dolphins that will be played at D.B. Milne Field on JU’s campus October 17th at 1:00 p.m. This game will be televised on ESPN3.
For the second straight year, the Tigers open the season against the University of Faith at home August 22nd at 7:30 p.m. This year’s homecoming game will be played against Concordia College on October 24th at 3:00 p.m.
“Despite the schedule, we can do well. We have seven defensive starters and eight offensive starters returning for the 2015 football season – including First-Team All-Conference quarterback Tyler Mahla,” said Wyatt.
The football team returned to campus August 3rd for the 2015 fall semester. All of the Tiger home games will be played at Stanton College Preparatory High School at 1149 W. 13th Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32209.

The Edward Waters College Schell Sweet Community Resource Center (CRC) hosted a 100th birthday party for Ms. Bertha Adams. Adams was among the first group of seniors to join the first fitness class in the Senior Wellness Program which began at the Schell Sweet Community Resource Center in 2010.
Bertha Adams is a “regular” active participant in one of five senior fitness classes held once a week in the Schell Sweet Community Resource Center. The hour long session uses low-impact aerobics and light weight-lifting to help keep its participants active.
“Bertha Adams is still an independent, fully-functioning member of society, and I know this class has a lot to do with that” said Senior Wellness Coordinator, Maria Edwards.

Newly elected City of Jacksonville/Duval County Sheriff Mike Williams met historic former-Jacksonville sheriff and Edward Waters College President Dr. Nathaniel Glover during a leadership workshop Dr. Glover facilitated on campus. Dr. Glover made history on April 11, 1995 when he was elected the first African American Sheriff in the State of Florida in more than 100 years, since Reconstruction.
EWC Hosts Teach For America 2015 Corps Opening Dinner
Edward Waters College hosted the annual Teach for America 2015 Corps Opening dinner July 30th. More than 125 college graduates filled in the Adams-Jenkins Sports and Music Complex for the event. These young men and women will spend the next two years teaching in schools that face high poverty rates and are challenged with other learning barriers. The work of Teach for America helps to eliminate educational inequality in our society.
EWC Assistant Vice President of Institutional Advancement Wanda Willis served as the keynote speaker. She encouraged the young instructors “to not only teach but to help each of their students to see the endless possibilities that lie ahead” in their lives.
