The donation was presented to SC State’s president Dr. George E. Cooper by Chris Neeley of Wal-Mart.
“The Savannah River Environmental Sciences Field Station is an outstanding program that we are proud to support,” said Neeley. “Their efforts will lead to greater environmental sustainability and improved natural resources management while providing educational opportunities from historically underrepresented groups in these important fields of study.”
The University’s program has completed its eleventh year in supporting and redirecting the careers of students into environmental science and engineering, and natural resources management.
“This gift represents a very significant statement about SC State University and the value of our Environmental Sciences Field Station,” said Dr. Cooper. “These funds will enable us to strengthen our program and attract more students from underrepresented groups.”
