University Park, Pa. -- The PBS television show "Nightly Business Report" is scheduled to air a three-part energy series on coal beginning Monday evening, Oct. 22. The third segment will feature faculty and student representatives from Penn State.
Vladislav Kecojevic, an associate professor who holds the Centennial Career Development Professorship in Mining Engineering, and Penn State student Matt Mowry, a senior mining engineering student and president of the Penn State Mining Society Student Group, are scheduled to appear during the Wednesday, Oct. 24, segment, which will focus on "the mining industry's efforts to recruit the workers it needs to satisfy the nation's hunger for coal."
In late September "Nightly Business Report" correspondent Stephanie Dhue interviewed Kecojevic and Mowry along with Brett Ashley, a junior mining engineering student. Details about the show's segment are available at http://www.pbs.org/nbr/site/research/learnmore/energy_options_coal_pt3 online.
