All three recipients are first-year students in the two-year Associate

offered on the Albert A. Sheen Campus on St. Croix. This program has produced
110 graduates in the last decade. These graduates are now employed in
industrial facilities locally, nationally and globally.

Seas Water has been partnering with and supporting the Process Technology
Program by providing scholarships, internships and employment opportunities to
