Mercer University’s School of Engineering will host a Defense Technology Seminar, featuring a presentation by retired U.S. Air Force pilot Lt. Col. Glenn Baugher, on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. in the Peyton Anderson Auditorium in the Science and Engineering building on the Macon campus.
Lt. Col. Baugher is currently teaching future aviators how to fly at ground school courses through Eastern Mennonite University in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and he volunteers with the U.S. Air Force Civil Air Patrol. He graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a B.S. in electrical engineering and computer science.
He has more than 3,400 total flying hours, including 1,300 hours flying the T-38 aircraft and more than 900 hours in the A-10 and the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter aircraft. While on active duty, he served as program manager at the U.S. Air Force Pentagon. After he retired, Lt. Col. Baugher spent 20 years as a defense contractor in the Washington D.C., area.
The event is free and open to the public and will be followed by an awards ceremony for Mercer’s software engineering students and a showing of the 1955 Jimmy Stewart film “Strategic Air Command.”
