Graduate Students: Advancing the Public Affairs Mission
This panel session is for Missouri State University graduate students only. Lunch will be provided at the end of the event, so please rsvp your registration. Thank you.
The public affairs mission is incorporated into classroom discussion, extracurricular activities and multiple other areas of MSU life. The goal is to increase awareness and educate students about the world around them, since life as a graduate student can have a narrow focus at times. Graduate students are developing specific skills and expanding their knowledge within their specialty. How does educating graduate students, experts in their field, benefit the communities in which they live? How can students use their advanced training and graduate education to implement the public affairs mission in their daily personal and professional lives for the betterment of their community?
