Former Tennessee Tech Vice President Dr. Leo McGee will be laid to rest Tuesday.

McGee served the university for more than 30 years including a tenure as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. He came to Tennessee Tech in 1977 as Assistant Dean of Extended Services and Associate Professor of Education. McGee was the first African American administrator at Tech.

An Arkansas native, McGee loved tennis and helped raise money for the Tech Tennis Center. He also was an avid supporter of the Tennessee Boys State program.

McGee died last week at the age of 79.
