CGCC Receives Contribution From Union Pacific For Welding Program

Columbia Gorge Community College has received a $12,900 contribution from the Union Pacific Foundation to purchase additional “stick” welders and more advanced equipment used in alloy welding for the CGCC welding lab.  The grant will enable the college to increase the number of students receiving basic and advanced welding instruction. Coursework includes manufacturing processes, blueprint reading and computer-aided design.  The Dalles High School instructor Robert Clark teaches the class, which is open to area high school students as well as students enrolled at CGCC.  The CGCC welding lab opened in 2014 as part of the Fort Dalles Readiness Center, with Sherman County providing an initial $100,000 contribution to open the welding lab.
