Did you know?
While finalizing this newsletter, we received the good news that Gov. Jay Nixon has signed the budget passed by the legislature, which includes a 4 percent increase in our core appropriation in the form of performance funding. The University of Missouri System campuses together have met all five performance measures and will benefit from this boost tremendously. In addition, Missouri S&T received funding to expand our learning and research initiatives in the Kansas City area, Springfield and southern Missouri. These initiatives were created at the request of our corporate partners and will help address workforce issues and, ultimately, spur economic development. I am tremendously grateful to Missouri S&T's many friends and allies who stepped up to advocate for us during this closely watched legislative session. |
