Abayasinghe volunteers to support Dorman High School engineering programs, and she collaborated with Richardson to submit the Innovative Classroom Grant request. She also helped arrange an Engineering Club talk by PPG Senior Project Research and Design Engineer Leroy Magwood, who also works in Shelby, to discuss his work and the fiber glass industry.
“PPG is strongly committed to supporting educational programs that help train tomorrow’s innovators, especially in communities and schools where our employees are involved,” Abayasinghe said. “I am very happy this grant will help members of the Dorman High School Engineering Club learn more about different industries and professions by providing opportunities for them to meet real-world engineers and participate in hands-on activities as they begin to explore their college and career options.”
