Arkansas Civil Air Patrol issued the following announcement on July 26.

Middle Tennessee State University renewed its partnership July 26 with Civil Air Patrol for the third time, with school President Sidney A. McPhee and Maj. Gen. Mark Smith, CAP’s national commander and CEO, signing the three-year extension shortly after the start of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture Oshkosh air show in Wisconsin.

“It’s wonderful that MTSU and CAP are here to celebrate the return of EAA AirVenture and the renewal of our partnership,” McPhee said. “Doing this at this international event underscores the importance of our work in aerospace, both as individual organizations and as partners.”

The MTSU College of Basic and Applied Sciences and its Aerospace Department launched the partnership in 2014 with the goal of providing Tennessee Wing cadets opportunities to interact with faculty and explore the Murfreesboro campus.

It was renewed again in 2017 and was set to be extended again in 2020. But pandemic precautions by both MTSU and CAP pushed thlings back a year.
