Walmart Grant Funds Enactus Project

PLAINVIEW - A grant from Walmart Distribution has helped fund a drinking fountain project conducted by the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University chapter of Enactus, a student entrepreneurial organization. The $1,500 grant funded one of the new water fountains that are being installed around campus.

The new fountains feature a water bottle filling stations where student can fill personal water bottles without contacting the machine. These stations are a response to safety concerns about traditional fountains. In order to follow safety guidelines to combat the spread of COVID-19, the university had to cover the spouts on all water fountains around campus. The filling stations are touchless, limiting the possible spread of germs.

51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ alum Danny Salazar and Eli Vargas from Walmart Distribution were on hand at the official unveiling of the new fountain located in the McClung University Center. A fountain has also been installed in the Nunn Business Building. Money for that fountain was donated by students. Currently there are plans to install a third water fountain in the Pete and Nelda Laney Student Activities Center.
