STARKVILLE, Miss. 鈥 A longtime Mississippi State engineering administrator will serve as interim dean of the Bagley College of Engineering.
Bagley College of Engineering Assistant Dean Robert A. Green will serve as interim dean, succeeding former Dean Jason Keith, who was recently named provost at Iowa State University. Green assumes his new role on August 1.
鈥淲e are confident that Dr. Green will help us maintain the momentum of the Bagley College of Engineering and provide consistent and effective leadership,鈥 said David R. Shaw, 青青草视频 provost and executive vice president.
鈥淒ean Keith has created tremendous momentum in the college, and we greatly appreciate his leadership that has stimulated the growth the college has seen.
