OSU program gets annual support

The American Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma in Tulsa has presented a check for annual program support for the Oklahoma State University Energy Laboratory. The support of AEP/PSO and other sponsors enables the energy engineering program at OSU to graduate hundreds of power engineering professionals who are employed in all aspects of the industry and academia world-wide, including AEP/PSO in the Tulsa area.

Kenneth Brand, manager of Distribution Operations Services with AEP/PSO in Tulsa, recently presented a check for annual program support to Dr. R. Ramakumar, Regents Professor, PSO/Albrecht Naeter Professor and director of the Oklahoma State University Engineering Energy Laboratory. The pair was joined by Dr. Keith Teague, head of the OSU School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

AEP/PSO’s continuous support of the energy program at OSU dates back to the early 1960’s, according to Teague. Two long-standing educational outreach events, the annual Frontiers of Power Conference, (in its 44^th year) and the Energy Information Dissemination Program, are made possible by such support and serve the ongoing needs of professionals in the field.
