Northwestern State University

In November 2018, Pilgrim’s Natchitoches donated $10,000 to Northwestern State University’s Department of Engineering Technology in thanks for the exceptional work and assistance NSU students and faculty put into an ergonomic project at the local facility. Pilgrim’s received great feedback because of the help of NSU faculty, staff and students.

“It’s a wonderful partnership and a way we can engage our faculty and students. Students are taking the skills they learn in the classroom and seeing them in the work environment,” said Dr. Margaret Kilcoyne, dean of NSUs College of Science and Technology. “We look forward to many more opportunities for growth between our university and Pilgrim’s.”

“We are thankful for industry leaders such as Pilgrim’s for their unwavering support of Northwestern State and our Engineering Department,” said NSU Development Officer Kimberly Gallow. “Because of partnerships like this one, we are able to continue to fund and gain support for external opportunities for our students, faculty and staff.”
