As we reminisce about the highlights of 2024, it’s only fitting that we spotlight some of the best and brightest moments for Entergy’s nuclear fleet.
Diversity, inclusion and belonging news
In this season of reflection and gratitude, we pause to give thanks for co-workers, friends and family. And sometimes those co-workers are our friends and family. Such is the case of Entergy’s Kristie Lowther and Rich Pierson, whose 25-year friendship means more than Christmas gifts—recently, it has meant the gift of life.
The central design and site engineering organizations of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi recognized Sewindia Scott for her contributions to Entergy's chapter of U.S. Women in Nuclear.
The third year of Christmas in July wrapped up this fall, with totals topping organizers’ expectations. This year, the charitable campaign extended beyond Entergy nuclear to include all of the company.
For the seventh consecutive year, the U.S. Department of Labor has awarded Entergy with the HIRE Vets Medallion Award, honoring exceptional achievement in veteran employment.
Recently, several energy entities helped lead a careers summit for students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Entergy sponsored the 2nd Annual New Orleans Association of Black Journalists Jazz Brunch and Silent Auction, supporting the organization’s scholarship fund. The event honored two local veteran journalists and awarded two scholarships named in their honor: the Nancy Parker Memorial Scholarship awarded to TaShia Hogue, and the William “Bill” Rousselle Memorial Scholarship awarded to Kennedy Wells. These scholarships will assist the recipients in furthering their education.
Jackson State University is the recipient of a $2 million grant from the Entergy Charitable Foundation to help fund the creation of the Critical Power Grid Network Security Lab. During a press conference at the University on Monday, Oct. 7, Entergy officials presented JSU President Marcus Thompson, Ph.D., with a big check to celebrate the occasion.
Today, we recognize a member of a team that perhaps goes unnoticed until needed. That team is the nuclear medical staff.
Many of us view Grand Gulf construction days through hazy pictures on the wall, but Linda Davis recalls them clearly with a first-person point of view.
