HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University recently received a donation of $25,000
from Contractors’ Educational Trust Fund to establish a Faculty Enhancement Fund in
the Industrial and Engineering Technology Department. The funds will help department
faculty attend workshops, training, industry meetings and conferences to keep them
ahead of the technology and new trends in their fields of study. The contribution
will also help support faculty research.
This is not the first time the Contractors’ Educational Trust Fund has donated
to Southeastern. In 2002, they established the Contractors Educational Trust Fund
Professorship in Industrial Technology, now IET, to support professors.
The Contractors Educational Trust Fund is affiliated with the Louisiana State

state.
