Following years of quick turnovers in leadership, Mississippi State University supporters are hoping the state College Board has found someone who will stick around for a while.

“We are confident Dr. Keenum’s background and expertise make him the perfect choice to lead Mississippi State University,” College Board member Scott Ross said.
Keenum will hold a series of interview sessions with campus constituents next week, and the College Board will decide whether he should be hired.
