The annual Missouri State University Night at Lebanon will take place June 26 following the annual afternoon golf tournament. The event, which supports the Lebanon Alumni Chapter Scholarship fund, will include dinner, a silent auction and university updates.
All area Missouri State alumni, friends, students and parents are invited to enjoy a complimentary dinner sponsored by Emerson beginning at 6 p.m. at the Kenneth E. Cowan Civic Center, 500 E. Elm. Guests may register to attend online or by calling 417-836-5654.
A silent auction will offer guests the opportunity to bid on select Missouri State athletics game tickets, BearWear and other Missouri State items. Proceeds help provide scholarships to area students attending Missouri State.
“The collective efforts of the members of the Lebanon Alumni Chapter provide tremendous support and encouragement to area students,” said Gib Adkins, Missouri State alumni chapter member. “Local students have the opportunity to attend classes at the MSU/OTC Outreach Center in Lebanon or traditional classes at the main Springfield campus, and a degree from Missouri State University will take them any place that they want to go.”
Presentation
In addition to a university update from President Clif Smart, the evening will feature a conversational interview with head coaches Kellie Harper, Paul Lusk and Dave Steckel. Emcee for the evening will be Art Hains, voice of the Missouri State Bears.
Lebanon and Laclede County students attending MSU this fall will be recognized and presented with MSU mementos. Missouri State will also welcome this year’s Lebanon Alumni Chapter scholarship recipients, Alexandria Becker, Hadleigh Luthy, Veronica Jacobs, Tharron Roy and Bailey Wilson, along with current students, transfer students and first-time freshmen.
