Alabama State University’s Office of Career Services has received four contributions from Honda totaling more than $270,000, which will be used to support students during their college education and after graduation.

“These four contributions will allow the state of Alabama to advance its students in two very important categories that will help them succeed in school – software programs and driver’s education, as well as advance their careers after graduation,” said Dr. Sabrina C. Simmons, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs, Student Development and Involvement.

A contribution from Honda will support the “Software Department”, enabling the purchase of several different software packages that will help the University’s undergraduate students become career-ready by graduation. Honda’s second contribution will fund “Driving Force,” an initiative that teaches Alabama students to drive.

Honda also awarded Alabama State University two additional contributions from the company’s education and traffic safety pillars.

“Honda is proud to partner with Alabama State University to help advance the dreams of students preparing to enter the workforce,” said Bobbie Trittschuh, Manager of Caritable Giving at Honda. “All these programs come together to provide real support for students as they shape their future.”

“ASU is truly where history is made, and we thank Honda for investing in our students,” said Dr. Simmons.
