Department Receives $2500 Award from SLEC for Participation in Service Learning Project
The South Louisiana Economic Council (SLEC) awarded the department $2500 for Dr. Windy Rachal’s participation in service learning projects over the past three years. Most recently, Dr. Rachal’s students helped write community profiles to attract businesses to the Bayou Region. The profiles will be incorporated into an economic development website. In the past, students researched availability of skilled labor, outmigration trends, and post-Katrina wage practices in the region for SLEC grant proposals.
