Dr. Philippidis Interviews with FOX 13 Tampa Bay
On February 3, 2022, Associate Dean Dr. George Philippidis was invited to interview with FOX 13 Tampa Bay about Manatee County schools receiving a grant through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to purchase electric school buses for the next school year.
