Energy Center head, Glen Steele, retiring after 33 years at MSU

STARKVILLE — The director of Mississippi State University’s Sustainable Energy Research Center is retiring. That position is just one of many that Glen Steele has held in 33 years at the university.

He says that finding new energy sources and ways to be more efficient with energy have been lifelong interests for him.

He says that of all the jobs he has held at MSU, he particularly enjoyed his 18 years as head of the mechanical engineering department.

His retirement ceremony is scheduled Wednesday afternoon at the Energy Institute.
