EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - Goodwin University is pleased to announce that the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) Hartford County Chapter 6 has established a $50,000 Advanced Manufacturing Scholarship Fund to support students pursuing careers in manufacturing.
The fund will provide annual financial assistance to students enrolled in Goodwin's Advanced Manufacturing program at the certificate, associate, or bachelor's degree level.
"Through this scholarship, we honor the legacy of the chapter founder, Al Perrault, who was instrumental in promoting training, support, and employment for manufacturing students," said APICS donor Dan Levine. Mr. Perreault was a member of APICS and formerly served as International President.
"Al was a legend, and this fund ensures his commitment to manufacturing will go on," Mr. Levine added.
