I want to update you on a positive development.
Good news for Glass
Last Wednesday, Governor Jay Nixon came to campus to announce that he is releasing the $1.875 million that has been withheld from the Glass Hall project. We couldn’t be more ecstatic about this decision. The withholding required us to modify the work to be completed in Glass Hall. With these released funds, additional work will be completed to further update and repair the home to the largest public business school in the central Midwest.
This is another example of Governor Nixon’s efforts to prioritize higher education during his term in office. I want to thank Governor Nixon and his staff for all of their contributions to Missouri State University and the State of Missouri.
Governor Nixon’s release of the Glass Hall funds is especially good news because of the state of Missouri’s revenue shortfall and dim budget projections for next year. As we move into legislative session in January, I will keep you informed about the status of state appropriations and the university’s budgeting process.
Congratulate our graduates
On Friday the university will award 1,476 degrees at fall commencement. Please join me in celebrating our graduates’ accomplishments at two commencement ceremonies — one at 10 a.m. and the other at 1:30 p.m. — in JQH Arena.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
