During the Spring 2009 semester a group of faculty, staff, and administrators worked on a report concerning the International Mission at MSSU. This was a joint administration-Faculty Senate report. A preliminary report was presented to the MSSU Faculty Senate in May of 2009. The final copy was presented to the administration on August 9, 2009. Later in 2009 the administration met with the task force co-chairs, Dr. Dorothy Bay and Dr. Steve Smith, to discuss the report's findings.
A hard copy of this report is available in the Spiva Library Archives. Members of the MSSU community and those in the Joplin community at large are also welcome to view the report, along with its individual appendices, using the links below. In addition, the powerpoint presentation made at the May 2009 Faculty Senate meeting is also posted.
