South Louisiana Community College’s Maritime Water Survival Training program received a generous donation of ten coveralls from LAPCO Manufacturing, Inc.  The coveralls will allow students to experience wearing wet clothing in the case of a helicopter accident over water.

SLCC has invested more than $1.8 million into its T. H. Harris Campus in St. Landry Parish since 2016, with an additional $400,000 in parking lot repairs planned this summer. The College has also added new programs and brought on new positions. This investment comes as part of a plan to revitalize the St. Landry Parish campus and better align programs with local workforce needs.

The SLCC Foundation will honor the Hugh & Byrnes Young Foundation as its 2019 Benefactor of the Year during a ceremony at the college’s Young Memorial Campus in Morgan City later this month. Moreover, the College plans to recognize the H & B Young Foundation’s widespread impact throughout the Morgan City and St. Mary Parish communities. The Young Foundation has disbursed more than $17 million to its local community since 1999, with $5 million in funding and property to the SLCC campus in Morgan City. It is estimated that the Young Foundation has invested another $10 million since its original establishment in 1955.
