NASHVILLE – A $15,000 grant
made possible by Weyerhaeuser
Corporate Giving was awarded to
UA Cossatot.
The grant money will be used
along with $15,000 of college resources
to renovate former warehouse
space on the Nashville campus.
The renovation will feature
two classrooms, office space, and
a 20-person computer lab. The
computer lab will be multipurpose
but primarily used for basic programming
and coding. The space
will be named the Weyerhaeuser
Computer Lab.
“We are proud to be able to assist
UA Cossatot once again with increasing
educational opportunities
and increasing technological skills
in our communities,” said Lilly Bell
Johnson, Human Resource manager
for Weyerhaeuser. There is a long
history of the partnership between
UA Cossatot and Weyerhaeuser,
beginning in the 1990’s with the
opening of the satellite campus in
Nashville.
“We are thankful for our long time
partnership with Weyerhaeuser,”
said UA Cossatot’s Chancellor
Dr. Steve Cole. “Now, we have a
Weyerhaeuser presence on every
campus. They have contributed
to the growth of all our campuses
significantly.”
The renovation began two weeks
ago and will be completed by this
summer.
