On Thursday, April 14, University of Missouri System Interim President Steve Owens, UM Vice President Betsy Rodriguez and Chief of Staff Kathy Miller met with several Missouri S&T faculty, students and staff to gather input on what qualities the S&T community would like to see in the campus’s next chancellor. The meeting was well-attended, and Owens received several suggestions from the group.

Also during their visit to Missouri S&T on Wednesday and Thursday, they heard the comments and suggestions of Chancellor Carney, members of the chancellor’s cabinet and visiting members of the Missouri S&T Board of Trustees.
