摘要：	The University of New Orleans (UNO) has announced that longtime Louisiana shipbuilder Donald T. "Boysie" Bollinger has pledged $3 million to the university's School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. In return, the school, moving forward, will bear Bollinger's name. "On behalf of our students, faculty, alumni and the entire university community, I am incredibly grateful to Boysie for his commitment to UNO," UNO President John Nicklow said in announcing the pledge. "This gift will have tremendous impact on current and future students by providing greater access to a world-class education and state-of-the-art equipment. This kind of generosity can and will change the lives of students." Bollinger is the former chairman and CEO of Bollinger Shipyards Inc., a network of shipyards scattered all across south Louisiana. His father, Donald G. Bollinger, founded the company, which was originally named Bollinger Machine Shop & Shipyard Inc., in 1946. He led the company until 1985. After that, Boysie Bollinger led the company until 2014, when Ben Borde-lon, his nephew, became president, CEO and part owner, along with the family that owns Edison Chouest Offshore.
