In April of 1970, Dr. William F. Herrnkind was chosen to participate in the Tektite II underseas underwater program. He and five other aquanaut-scientists remained submerged in teams of two for 20-day periods throughout that spring, summer, and fall.

In summer of 1970, the Florida Board of Regents approved inauguration of the FSU-FAMU cooperative premedical program that became the Program in Medical Science (PIMS) and then, in 2002, the FSU College of Medicine.
