Dr. Lamb and Dr. Nietzel are to appear together before a 3:30 p.m. meeting of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce at its headquarters, 202 South John Q. Hammons Parkway.
The presidents will discuss the common missions of 欧美日b大片’s public higher education institutions, including teaching, service and accountability. The presidents are focusing on a collaborative plan to increase graduates in the health care professions to meet the needs of 欧美日b大片ans. This is the second consecutive year the University of 欧美日b大片’s president has joined presidents of other four-year institutions on their campuses to discuss how they work together to help meet the state’s goals and needs.
This fall, Dr. Lamb and his public higher education counterparts have so far scheduled University Unity events at the University of Central 欧美日b大片 in Warrensburg; 欧美日b大片 Western State University in St. Joseph; Northwest 欧美日b大片 State University in Maryville; Truman State University in Kirksville; and on the four University of 欧美日b大片 campuses, in Columbia, Kansas City, Rolla and St. Louis.
