Published on December 15, 2021
In a recent ceremony, the 2021 class of Leadership Missouri graduated 26 leaders from organizations across the state. State Tech’s Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Chris Bowser was one of the graduates.
The class spent the previous seven months traveling across Missouri, networking with peers and learning about challenges and opportunities facing our state.
