- Association of Black Collegians and Omega Psi Phi Presents: “A Night of Reflection”
- The purpose of the event is to reflect on the past and present leaders within Missouri State and the Springfield area. The event will offer insight to current students about how fellow alumni have helped in setting the stage for the many things we experience today. Also, it will show how students can learn to take on leadership roles within the community through imitation
There will be several panelists in the events including Mary Jean Price Walls, who was the first African American to apply for admission to the institution, but her application was denied in 1950; Mr. Wes Pratt, new interim equal opportunity officer at Missouri State; and Phyllis Washington, the first black women to be a Board of Governor for MSU. These panelists will join with many others to discuss about the experience within the Springfield area and MSU campus.
