HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2024 / The Baker Hughes Foundation announced Monday two grants in support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for the 2024-25 academic year: a $200,000 grant to Texas Southern University (TSU) and a $200,000 grant to Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU). The donations are part of the Foundation's long-running mission to promote education and opportunity in the communities where Baker Hughes employees live and work. The grants will help provide financial support for a wide variety of STEM programs, student development, professional certifications and career readiness.
Baker Hughes基金會週一宣佈,爲2024-25學年向歷史悠久的黑人學院和大學(HBCU)提供兩項資助:向德克薩斯南方大學(TSU)提供20萬美元的資助和向普雷裏維尤A&m大學(PVAMU)提供20萬美元的資助。這些捐款是基金會長期以來在Baker Hughes員工居住和工作的社區推廣教育和機會的一部分。該資助計劃將幫助爲廣泛的STEM項目、學生髮展、專業認證和職業準備提供財務支持。
Since 2021, the Baker Hughes Foundation has contributed over $1 million to various HBCUs due to their historic ties to Baker Hughes and its employees, and the universities' strong academic programs in science, technology, engineering, business and legal fields.
自2021年以來,Baker Hughes基金會因它們與Baker Hughes及其員工的歷史聯繫以及大學在科學、技術、工程、商業和法律領域的強大學術計劃,已向各種HBCUs捐贈超過100萬美元。
"We are proud to continue to support the HBCUs providing future generations with the keys to success will help drive innovation and build a diverse workforce for the future," said Deanna Jones, Baker Hughes' executive vice president of People, Communications and Transformation and president of the Baker Hughes Foundation. "Together, we will be able to take energy forward."
「我們很自豪地繼續支持HBCUs,因爲它們爲未來的幾代人提供成功的關鍵,將幫助推動新的創新併爲未來建立多樣化的勞動人口,」Deanna Jones說道,他是Baker Hughes人民、通信和轉型執行副總裁和Baker Hughes基金會的總裁。「我們將共同推進能源發展。」
The grant to TSU will support various curriculum development, leadership training, and career service initiatives for students enrolled in the Jesse H. Jones School of Business and the College of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. The grant will also provide access to assessments and soft skill trainings, strengthen diverse student recruitment and placement into high demand career pathways, support the learning around ESG literacy, and expand access to professional conferences and professional pathways. TSU is one of the nation's largest HBCUs, with over 120 degree programs.
對TSU的資助將支持各種課程發展、領導力培訓和職業服務計劃,爲註冊Jesse H. Jones商學院和理工學院的學生提供支持。該資助還將提供評估和軟技能培訓的機會,加強多元化的學生招聘和熱門職業路徑的安置,支持ESG素養的學習,並擴展專業會議和職業發展的機會。TSU是美國最大的HBCUs之一,擁有120多個學位項目。
The grant to PVAMU will primarily support summer bridge programs, hardship scholarships, and leadership and tutoring programs for engineering and business students. Summer bridge programs are designed to ease the transition to college and support postsecondary success by providing students with the academic skills and social resources needed to succeed in a college environment. With funds from the Baker Hughes Foundation, PVAMU will allow students to develop skills as financial analysts and portfolio managers. PVAMU is the second-oldest public institution of higher education in Texas and a Carnegie-classified high-research activity university that offers academic programs through its 10 colleges and schools.
PVAMU的資助將主要支持工程和商業學生的夏季橋樑項目、困難獎學金、領導力和輔導計劃等。夏季橋樑計劃旨在通過爲學生提供在大學環境中成功所需的學術技能和社交資源,來緩解他們到大學的轉型並支持其學業成功。有了Baker Hughes基金會的資助,PVAMU將讓學生在成爲金融分析師和投資組合經理方面發展技能。PVAMU是得克薩斯州第二古老的公立高等教育機構,是一所卡內基分類高研活動的大學,其通過其10個學院和學校提供學術課程。
"Texas Southern University is grateful to the Baker Hughes Foundation for its investment into our students," said TSU President J. W. Crawford III. "Student achievement is at the center of everything we do at the university. The skills our students will hone, as a result of this support, are skills that employers use to identify potential employees who have the potential to be dynamic contributors to their respective organizations. We look forward to the impact this gift will have on our students and their academic achievement, as well as their future professional endeavors."
「德克薩斯南方大學感謝Baker Hughes基金會對我們的學生的投資,」TSU校長J.W. Crawford III說道。「學生的成就是我們大學所有工作的核心。由於這項支持,我們的學生將獲得鍛鍊能力,這些能力是僱主用來確認潛在僱員的能力,並有可能成爲他們各自組織的突出貢獻者。我們期待這份禮物對我們的學生及其學業的影響以及他們未來的職業發展。」
"Baker Hughes is a long-standing partner and supporter of PVAMU, and we are proud to continue the work of educating brilliant minds and preparing the thousands of students with the necessary skills for college readiness that this collaboration will yield," said PVAMU Vice President for Enrollment Management Dr. Sarina R. Willis.
「Baker Hughes是PVAMU的長期合作伙伴和支持者,我們很自豪地繼續教育優秀的人才,併爲將使這種合作化爲現實所需的必要技能培養數千名學生做好準備,」PVAMU註冊管理副總裁Sarina R. Willis博士說道。
