New scholarships for the Process Technology program at Nunez Community College will become available shortly thanks to a $12,500 donation from American Sugar Refining, Inc., owner of the Domino Sugar Chalmette Refinery and a member of ASR Group.
Representatives of ASR Group visited the Nunez campus Oct. 23 to present the check to Process Technology (PTEC) Chair Kyles Steib and Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement Katherine Lemoine. Liz Mendoca, Vice President and General Manager for the Domino Sugar Chalmette Refinery, which currently employs more than 300 people, said the donation is an investment in the future of the college, the refinery, and the community that surrounds both.
