SB 204 to Bring Student and Success Center to Nunez




Students at Nunez Community College will soon benefit from a Student Success
Center, thanks to Senate Bill 204. The Bill, referred to as "SB204
'Facilities with a Purpose'", will improve Louisiana's Community and
Technical College facilities statewide in order to provide "increased
training capacity and opportunities for students, business and industry in
both rural and urban areas across the state," according to a Louisiana
Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) spokesperson.

The bill authorizes financing and construction of 29 projects in the amount
of $251.6 million. Twelve percent, or $34.3 million, will be provided from
local private matching funds.



Nunez Chancellor, Dr. Thomas Warner, says "Senate Bill 204 will supply
valuable funds for a Student Success Center at Nunez Community College and
be a terrific addition to our campus. It will provide a much-needed facility
that will enhance academic and technical program support for our students."



"The approval of SB204 shows a commitment by the Legislature to continue to
invest in, and improve, facilities for career and technical education
programs to meet the growing demand for a skilled labor force," said Joe
May, president, Louisiana Community and Technical College System."
