“I am honored to welcome Sen. Blunt to our campus to inaugurate this series,” says Chancellor Mo Dehghani. “With his many roles in public service, as an educator, university president and at all levels of government, he has a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead for the state of Missouri, and for the nation as a whole.”
