Missouri State University-West Plains Chancellor Dennis Lancaster spoke Wednesday afternoon to a group of first-term Missouri state legislators. Known as the Freshmen Tour, this trip to various locations around the state provides a chance for politicians in their first year of legislative office to see what it’s like outside their home districts. Wednesday’s stop included a tour of the MSU-WP campus. Lancaster provided a brief history of the institution and outlined plans for future growth. “Student success is our ultimate concern,” said Lancaster. “It’s not enough to just cycle bodies through our classrooms. We want to see them thrive in their communities and chosen fields.” 154th District Rep.

South Central Career Center Director Dr. Josh Cotter spoke to the legislators about the role the career center, soon to be rebranded as Southern Missouri Technical Institute, plays in this area, and the educational and training opportunities it provides.
