            The United States Enrichment Corporation donated $25,000 to Shawnee State University for the Poised for Tomorrow campaign on Thursday, May 29.
            The donation was part of USEC’s $89,500 either donated or pledged to SSU’s campaign and was presented by Sandy Fout, technical services manager for USEC Inc.’s American Centrifuge Plant, to SSU President Rita Rice Morris.
            “We truly appreciate the generosity of USEC not only with this donation but for all its support over the years,” Morris said.
            SSU’s Poised for Tomorrow Campaign has raised nearly $16 million in the campaign, exceeding its original goal of $12 million.
            USEC Inc., a global energy company, is a leading supplier of enriched uranium fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. It expects to deploy the next generation uranium enrichment technology in Piketon, Ohio – the American Centrifuge. The United States Enrichment Corporation, a subsidiary of USEC Inc., operates a uranium enrichment plant in Paducah, Ky., and does contract work for the U.S. Department of Energy in Piketon.
