Entergy Secures Naming Rights to STEM Center at Girl Scout DreamLab
GONZALES, La., July 30, 2024 /3BL/ - Girl Scouts Louisiana East is excited to announce that Entergy will have the naming rights to the STEM Center at the Girl Scout DreamLab for the next five years. This $50,000 partnership shows Entergy's dedication to supporting young women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
"We are so thankful for Entergy's generous support,” said Chief Executive Officer Dr. Rebecca Pennington. “The naming rights to our STEM Center mean more than just funding; they show our shared commitment to the future. Together, we are opening doors for girls to explore, innovate and lead in STEM fields. This partnership will inspire Girl Scouts to follow their dreams and develop the skills to become future STEM leaders."
The Girl Scout DreamLab STEM Center will offer resources and programs to engage and educate Girl Scouts in various STEM areas. With Entergy's help, the center will continue to provide hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for STEM.
“Entergy is investing in the development of a critical future workforce,” said Entergy’s Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Kathryn Collins. “We strive to recruit locally because local talent tends to stay at Entergy. We need top performing technical professionals with STEM prowess and innovative STEM leaders. The symbiotic relationship between Entergy and the Girl Scouts DreamLab STEM Center is real, strategic and far-reaching.”
This collaboration between Entergy and Girl Scouts Louisiana East highlights both organizations' continued commitment to building a brighter future for girls in our community. In 2023, Entergy approached GSLE about designing and delivering an Entergy-sponsored sustainability event and patch at Camp Marydale. The program focuses on using resources wisely and making the world a better place, aligning with the mission of Girl Scouting.
By investing in the education and empowerment of young girls, Entergy and Girl Scouts Louisiana East are helping to create a more inclusive and innovative tomorrow.
