A manatee that had been successfully rehabilitated after a suspected boat strike injury was released Wednesday, Sept. 25, at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. The manatee, an adult male dubbed “Harbor Tee,” had been spotted in the channel at FAU Harbor Branch by members of the institute’s Marine Mammal Stranding and Population Assessment team in June. After his release, Harbor Tee stayed nearby for several minutes, even returning to the boat ramp briefly as the crowd dispersed. (fb)

Florida Atlantic University received a $1.6 million gift from long-time Boca Raton resident Bob Schattner, which will be used to continue providing scholarships in perpetuity that he established 15 years ago. Schattner established the Robert L. Schattner Entrepreneurial Scholarship in Business in 2010 to support students with financial need who have taken at least one entrepreneur class and who may start their own companies one day. He also established a separate fund to aid students who face life challenges that could derail their pursuit of higher education. (fb)
