On December 12, 2019, following UA Cossatot’s Christmas party, school representatives met with Sandra Gandara, Administrative Assistant for Weyerhaeuser, where Christmas came early in the form of a $6,000 donation from Weyerhaeuser’s “Giving Fund Grant”.

These funds will be used for further development of the Lockesburg Industrial Maintenance Institute, where both secondary and post-secondary students receive quality training in all areas of industrial maintenance.

UA Cossatot Vice Chancellor of Academics, Dr. Ashley Aylett; Administrative Assistant for Weyerhaeuser, Sandra Gandara; UA Cossatot Chancellor, Dr. Steve Cole; and UA Cossatot Division Chair of Skilled and Technical Sciences, Steve McJunkins.  

UA Cossatot Division Chair of Skilled and Technical Sciences, Steve McJunkins, said, “Thank you, Weyerhaeuser, for this generous donation and all your support. We could not provide this level of training without the assistance of our business partners.”
