Entergy donation helps grow ASUB classroom tech

SEARCY — Arkansas State UniversityBeebe is proud to recognize Entergy Corp. for a micro-grant donation to expand classroom technology and interactive instruction at the ASU-Beebe Searcy Campus.

ASU-Beebe has reinvented the way it provides instruction. This reinvention resulted in the creation of delivery course formats called Internet-Assisted/Zoom and Zoom (fully online). The Entergy donation of $750 helped ASU-Beebe purchase the large flat-screen television for the classroom at the Searcy campus. The new screen enables these programs to deliver class content and display presentations to students in person and online simultaneously.

“ASU-Beebe prides itself on providing faculty and students access to state-of-theart classroom technology to deliver course content. The 70-inch monitor purchased with support from the Entergy Corp. will enhance our ability to deliver instruction to our allied-health and workforce-training programs on the Searcy campus,”said Jason Goodner, vice chancellor for academics at ASU-Beebe.

“Entergy believes in investing in technology for the benefit of our combined future,” said Flave Carpenter, customer-service manager for Entergy Corp.

“This contribution to ASU-Beebe to advance technology in the delivery of education and workforce training demonstrates our community commitment,” Carpenter said.

“ASU-Beebe is extremely thankful to Entergy Corp. for their generosity and ongoing community partnership, which continues to make high-quality education possible for students at the ASU-Beebe Searcy Campus,” said Andrea Cole, development officer/major gifts with ASU-Beebe.

With this support from Entergy Corp., ASU-Beebe has completed a significant investment to equip 15 classrooms with Zoom technology to support and expand class-delivery options for students.
