From the President

W e at Missouri Southern want our students to have the best possible

college experience. That’s why we offer excellent academic

programs and the professors who teach at

Southern are dedicated to helping students learn.

The heart of any university is academics, but we

also believe that what students do outside the classroom

is important for a healthy education. That’s why we

support the academic mission in a variety of ways. For

example, we have tutorial services for students who

need extra attention and counseling services for stu-

dents who want to know about careers or just need to

talk with someone about a pressing issue. We have a

first-year course that helps students learn how to be successful at Southern.

We have numerous clubs and a vibrant Student Senate that has an active

voice in campus affairs. For students who want to live on campus, we have stu-

dent housing and, since I’ve eaten at the campus dining areas, I can testify that

the food is good and there’s lots of it. We also have thriving athletic programs,

so students can become part of the excitement of cheering the Lions to winning

seasons. Each student also has access to the state-of-the-art Biemdiek Recreation

Center that includes fitness equipment and three basketball courts. The Biem-

diek Recreation Center also houses the Willcoxon Health Center that looks and

functions like a top-of-the-line physicians’ office!

Students come to Southern with different backgrounds and we try very

hard to ensure that we appreciate where students have been as we help them fig-

ure out where they are going. That’s why our goal is to offer a college experience

tailored to a student’s needs, an education that will not only provide students

with wonderful memories but also will give them the total educational experi-

ence necessary to be successful citizens. As you think about which university to

attend, consider the many benefits of a Missouri Southern education and please

call me at 417.625.9501 if you have any questions.

International Education

I n July 1995, Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan signed into law House Bill No. 442, which designed Missouri Southern as “a statewide institution of international or global education.” The bill directed the university to “develop such academic support programs and public ser-vice activities it deems necessary and appropriate to establish international or global education as a distinctive theme of its mission.”

The faculty and administration of Missouri Southern developed over the next year the outline of a comprehensive plan of international education. Included was the establishment of the Institute of In-ternational Studies, charged with overseeing the internationalizing of the campus. Our International Mission efforts have included:

• Adding new majors in International Business, International Studies, French and German.

• Adding new minors in Japanese, Chinese and Russian and courses in Arabic.

• Designing “themed semesters,” where the Fall semester of every year focuses on a particular country, continent or region of the world.

• Expanding opportunities and providing grants for some 2,500 MSSU students to study abroad.

• Signing agreements with 16 international universities for student exchange: 3 in Japan, 2 in China, 2 in Sweden, 2 in Germany, 2 in France, 1 in Russia, 1 in Finland, 1 in Costa Rica, 1 in Taiwan and 1 in Canada.

• Joining the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), in order to exchange students with universities around the world.

• Joining the Missouri London Program and Missouri Greece Program consortia along with other universities from the State of Missouri. Students and faculty can spend an entire semes-ter in London or Athens.

• Infusing the curriculum with 150 new courses that are either international courses or courses with a predominantly international focus.

• Establishing an International Trade & Quality Center and becoming the headquarters of the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors (ISWNE).

• Developing an International English Program, to help students from all over the world im-prove their spoken and written English in an academic setting.

• Establishing the Gockel International Symposium, which brings world-renowned scholars to campus every year.

• Creating the McCaleb Initiative for Peace to examine the causes and prevention of war. At least one Missouri Southern student-faculty team receives up to $5,000 every year for an in-depth research project that involves traveling to the sites of former wars and conflicts.

Welcome to residence hall living at Missouri Southern! Over 600 students will join you living on campus. For some of you this will be a new experience and we hope it will be enjoyable, educational and rewarding. (Keep in mind that students who live in university resi-dence halls are more likely to obtain high grades, become involved in extracurricular activities and complete degree programs than their peers living off-campus!) Missouri Southern offers outstanding resi-dence hall units including both traditional, suite and private styles. Rooms are furnished with twin-extra long size beds (36 x 80), desks,

chairs, wastebaskets, mini blinds and nightstands. Specially designed suites are available for students with special needs. Each of the three meal plans include Dining Dollars, which can be redeemed at the Lions Den Food Court and UniversityJava Coffee Shop.

Campus Residence Requirements – All freshmen students under 21 years of age are required to live in university residence halls to the extent available, unless they are married or live with their parents.
