Baton Rouge, La. – The Southern University Ag Center and the Louisiana Tri-Parish Alumnae (LTP)
Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. held a virtual Census workshop
called “Counting Small Towns is a Big Deal.”
More than
4,000 individuals viewed the workshop, which was live-streamed on the Facebook
pages of the Southern University Ag Center and the LTP, as well as through the Cisco
WebEx virtual format.
SU Ag
Center Community and Economic Development Assistant Specialist, Gerald Williams
was the speaker for the August 4, 2020 event. Viewers were provided with
information on how data from the Census is used to determine how billions of federal
funds are distributed to fund programs and services for the next 10 years.
Louisiana
residents, especially those individuals residing within rural communities, were
asked to complete the 2020 Census to ensure the families in the state’s small
towns and communities were counted.
The Southern
University Ag Center will continue to partner with community and faith-based
organizations to provide its clientele with information and services to help
them live successful and productive lives.
