RESERVE — With one of only a few, fully operational methanol plants in the South, the River Parishes Community College Reserve Campus offers its Process Technology Unit Operations III (Capstone) class an invaluable training tool.

Using a working Control Board, Process Technology Instructor Wayne Adams is able to prepare students on the safe operation of a fully running unit.

This method of state-of-the-art, hands-on teaching allows the school to provide a skilled workforce at graduation.
