Margaret Young, Dean and Director of OSU Lima Campus, says, “This incredible gift really is going to transform what it is we’re able to do with our students. Engineering equipment is vital to the success of building this pipeline, and having Cenovus as this foundational partner to really work with us as we prepare the next generation of engineers to work in our community could not be more important.”
Dean Hempfling, General Manager, Lima Refinery, adds, “It’s very important to us. Really, at the end of the day, we want to hire local talent. We want to keep homegrown talent here, and we want those people to come work at the refinery.
