The Gas Compressor Association (GCA) donated $14,700 to Panola College’s School of Energy on Oct. 11. The donation was presented by Mark Davis of J-W Power Company on behalf of the GCA at the new Matthews Foundation Energy Building on the Carthage campus.

“The School of Energy would not be where it is today without the support of industry partners like the GCA,” said Daniel Hall, Chair of the School of Energy. “Our collaboration with the GCA has a direct impact on our students through job opportunities with member companies, involvement on our advisory board, and generous annual donations that help fund scholarships and lab equipment.”

Hall was joined by Jessica Pace, Panola College president, Dr. Billy Adams, Vice President of Instruction, Natalie Oswalt, Dean of Career and Technical Programs, Joanna Huckabee, Director of Institutional Advancement, and Whitney McBee, Director of Workforce and Continuing Education.

“We are extremely grateful for the continued support from the GCA,” added Hall. “This generous donation will play a major role in preparing students for successful careers in the energy industry.”
