Students, faculty, and administrators of the Student Affairs in Higher Education Master’s Program made their way through the snow to Denver, Colorado to attend the NASPA IV-West Regional Conference from October 30 – November 1. Numerous Missouri State administrators, alumni, and current students had a major part in making the conference a success. Our Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Earle Doman, served as the Conference Chair, and our alumni and current students served on a wide range of conference committees.

Of special interest: Cohort 4 member, Colt Kraus, was recognized as a NASPA IV-W Rising Star in Student Affairs for the 2011 year during the 2011 conference. Missouri State University’s SAHE students have earned this award and others at the conference since 2007. We are extremely proud of Colt and the entire Missouri State SAHE community for making such a great showing at the conference!
