The Edward Mossman Endowed Chair of Nuclear Engineering Technology<\/h1>\n

THROUGH A GENEROUS GIFT of $1.5 million from Guy Mossman \u201979E, Maine Maritime Academy has established the Edward Mossman \u201950E Endowed Chair of Nuclear Engineering Technology. On May 2, the Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Professor Paul Wlodkowski to the role.<\/p>\n

Maine Maritime Academy President Craig Johnson \u201991 acknowledged the gift with appreciation saying, \u201cThe Mossman Endowed Chair of Nuclear Engineering Technology will play a pivotal role in providing academic training and programming in the field. We are honored that the Mossman endowment will allow the opportunity to expand our offerings to include coursework in the quickly evolving field of nuclear engineering. We are grateful for their generosity and foresight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the gift, Guy Mossman said, \u201cI am pleased to support the internationally recognized strength of Maine Maritime Academy\u2019s engineering program and dedication to workforce development by underwriting an endowed chair position in the rapidly developing field of nuclear energy. I am proud to establish the endowment in memory of my father, Maine Maritime Academy alumnus, Edward Mossman \u201950E.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wayne Norton, Chair of the Maine Maritime Academy Board of Trustees said, \u201cThis amazing gift from Guy Mossman and the reinstated nuclear program will help pave the way for the students of Maine Maritime Academy to continue to support the US commercial nuclear industry whose 94 operating plants provide approximately 20% of US energy. Having worked in the US commercial nuclear industry for almost 35 years, I believe that this program can help support the growing need for the next generation of plant operators and leaders as well as the nuclear renaissance that we all have been reading about and appears to be in front of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
