This is one more way we can invest in Waukesha County.”
Carroll University has always been at the forefront of fostering academic development, and this grant reflects its ongoing efforts to create innovative educational experiences. Carroll will utilize the donation to provide supplies and additional staff and make the camps accessible to underserved youth.
“We are thrilled to receive support from an incredibly successful and well-respected organization here in Waukesha,” said Carroll Director of Corporate Engagement, John Gnadinger. “Generac has always proven to value the power of education and community, and we take pride in collaborating with them to serve others and prepare kids for the future.”
The collaboration between Carroll University and Generac highlights the shared commitment to promoting the importance of STEM education in today's increasingly tech-driven world and to meet the demands of the future job market.
