ExxonMobil makes generous donation to Louisiana Tech
ExxonMobil has donated more than $130,000 to Louisiana Tech University as part of ExxonMobil’s Educational Matching Gift Program to support engineering and science education opportunities for faculty and staff.
Louisiana Tech College of Engineering and Science alumnae and ExxonMobil Slurry Process Technology Manager Jennifer Johnson recently presented the donation to Louisiana Tech President Les Guice and College of Engineering and Science Dean Hisham Hegab.
The donation is part of ExxonMobil’s Educational Matching Gift Program, in which the company matches the donations of employees, their spouses, retirees and surviving spouses on a three-to-one basis, for up to $22,500 to U.S. colleges and universities. In addition to the Educational Matching Gift Program, ExxonMobil provides support to the College of Engineering and Science through donations of money and time to academic programs and student organizations, such as the Society of Women Engineers and the National Society of Black Engineers.
Dr. Hisham Hegab, dean of the College of Engineering and Science, says that donations from companies like ExxonMobil help provide materials and opportunities for engineering and science faculty to engage students in real-world experiences, including hands-on activities and travel to competitions and conferences.
“We greatly appreciate ExxonMobil’s support for the College of Engineering and Science at Louisiana Tech,” Hegab said. “Support from corporate partners like ExxonMobil is essential to helping us produce graduates with the technical and leadership skills that industry demands.”
