MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — On Tuesday, Sidney McPhee, president of Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), said he notified the school's Board of Trustees about his plan to retire in December.
His announcement comes after 25 years of service with the University.
McPhee said in a statement that he plans to join the College of Education as a tenured professor.
"It has been the greatest professional honor of my career to serve as President of the remarkable institution for more than a quarter-century. I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of all of our employees, the tireless support of alumni and, especially, all the amazing students," McPhee wrote.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
