Sustainability – that’s the focus of Missouri State University’s spring 2018 Public Affairs Conference.

Free and open to the public, the conference will take place April 10-12 on campus. Presenters will share their views on the theme of “Sustainability in Practice: Consensus and Consequences.”

Joining me today to talk about the conference are Dr. Michael Burton, MSU professor of agriculture and this year’s public affairs provost fellow, and Mary Ann Wood, MSU director of public affairs support.
