Integrating education, with the 3 pillars of public affairs, to make a positive impact on the world.

Ethical Leadership | Cultural Competence | Community Engagement

Missouri State's Public Affairs mission is a distinguished way in which our education is different from that of other universities.

 

The three pillars of public affairs are woven throughout the educational experience at Missouri State.  The Office of Public Affairs Support offers focused programming, services and support for the campus and local community to explore and open dialogue on how to lead ethically, contribute to community and respect multiple perspectives and cultures.
