Coaching Staff Ronald Boyce Track and Field Head Coach, 14th Season Murray State, 1989

Ronald Boyce enters his 14th year heading the Missouri State women’s track program. Boyce was named the fifth head coach in the program’s history in 1997 after spending one year as an assistant. Since joining the Missouri State staff in 1996, Boyce has built the women’s team into one of the most respected programs in the Midwest and the premier program in the Missouri Valley Conference, as evidenced by his selection to the MVC’s All-Centennial Team in 2007. Boyce’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams have claimed eight Missouri Valley Conference Championships and have been Valley runners-up six times since he took the helm. Directing a balanced program has long been a goal of Boyce’s. That goal was realized during the 2002-03 seasons, as Missouri State claimed its first MVC running Triple Crown. On top of Boyce’s eight league track and field titles the cross country program has added four of its own. Since the 1997-98 seasons, the Bears track and field and cross country program has won at least one league title during eight of those 12 years. Boyce has been the mastermind behind a Missouri State women’s program that has seen its fair share of individual success as well. MSU track and field athletes have accumulated 136 individual and relay event championships and have brought home 430 All-Conference medals since 1996. A nine-time MVC Coach of the Year (five indoors, three outdoors, one cross country), Boyce is regarded as one of the top developers of sprint and hurdle athletes in the country. Under his direction, the Missouri State women have dominated the Missouri Valley Conference. While setting every MSU women’s sprint and hurdles record during his tenure, Boyce’s athletes own nine MVC all-time records and 12 MVC championship records. His sprint and hurdle athletes have also racked up numerous honors, compiling 289 All-Missouri Valley Conference medals, 97 MVC individual titles, 48 MVC runner-up finishes times and 33 third-place finishes. Boyce earned MVC Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year honors in 1996 by leading the squad to the conference title. In his only season as coach of the women’s cross country program, Boyce guided Missouri State to three meet titles and its first MVC cross country championship. Five Bears recorded career-best times and finished among the top 15 in the conference race. Camille Wise earned All-MVC honors with a sixth-place showing. Boyce has also helped the Missouri State program gain national recognition as the Bears routinely send athletes to the NCAA championships. Prior to Boyce’s arrival only three MSU track and field athletes had ever qualified for the NCAA Division I meet. Under Boyce’s direction Missouri State women’s track and field has compiled 40 NCAA regional qualifying performances on the track while MSU athletes have qualified for the NCAA national championships 38 times. Missouri State women’s track and field athletes have also earned NCAA All-America status 16 times, with 14 of those honors coming during Boyce’s tenure. In 1996, Melinda Sallins took fifth at the NCAA meet in the 400-meter hurdles to earn the first All-America honor during the Boyce era. Michelle Baptiste earned a spot on the AllAmerica team in 1997 by taking seventh in the long jump. Boyce’s 4x400-meter relay squad of Juliet Pommells, Verneta Lesforis, Mashere Harrison and Augustina Charles ran 3:36.18 to earn All-America honors

during the 1999 indoor season. During the 1999 outdoor season Pommells, Lesforis, Charles along with Trudi Garrett, bettered their mark to 3:33.09 to add four more All-America awards to Boyce’s list. The 2004 outdoor season saw the Bears first All-American come from the distance side of the team. Casey Owens ran 34:53.00 that season to become an All-American in the 10,000-meter run, an honor she earned again in 2005. The 2005 season also saw the emergence of one of the greatest track and field athletes in school history, Tracy Partain. Partain earned All-America honors in the indoor pentathlon that season with a ninth-place finish at the national meet. Partain left her mark on the MSU record book in 2006, as she challenged for the NCAA title before finishing as the national runner-up in the outdoor heptathlon. Boyce has also coached six athletes to the Olympic Games including a pair of Missouri State athletes. Baptiste competed at the Olympics in 1996 and Lesforis in 2000. Numerous other MSU athletes have competed for their respective countries internationally through the years, including Owens and Partain, who competed for Team USA in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Other Missouri State athletes coached by Boyce have competed internationally. Verneta Lesforis competed in the 200-meter at the 1997 World Championships. Lesforis, along with Baptiste and Charles, competed for their home country of St. Lucia at the 1999 Central America and Carribean Championships. All three won medals at the event and went on to compete in the Pan American Games that year. Boyce’s athletes have gone on to set every sprint and jump national record for St. Lucia. A native of Barbados, Boyce graduated from Murray State University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Before joining the Missouri State staff, Boyce held assistant coaching positions at both Murray State and Tennessee State, coaching four NCAA AllAmericans and two 1992 Olympians as a men’s track assistant at Murray State from 1989 to 1991. Boyce helped the Racers to indoor and outdoor Ohio Valley Conference titles in 1990 and 1991. Boyce and his wife, Edith, have one daughter, Nakita, who played softball at Mississippi State University.

2009-10 Track and Field/Cross Country Guide

Coaching Staff Greg Hipp Cross Country Head Coach, 6th Season Appalachian State, 2002 Greg Hipp is in his sixth year as Missouri State’s cross country coach and the Bears’ distance coach for track and field. He starts his seventh year as a member of the Missouri State staff after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant for both cross country and track and field. Under Hipp’s guidance, MSU cross country won the 2004 Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Championship. With runner-up finishes in 2005, 2006, and 2008, Hipp’s cross country teams have finished outside of the MVC’s top two teams only twice; once with a third-place finish in 2007 and a fifth-place finish in 2009. Hipp’s teams have also finished among the NCAA Midwest Region’s top 10 during four of his six seasons, and the 2008 season saw MSU finish as the top-ranked team in the state of Missouri. Hipp was named MVC Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2004 after guiding Missouri State to their fourth-straight MVC cross country championship and a fifth-place regional finish. That team featured four All-MVC selections, including Casey Owens, who won her second individual MVC championship in three years. Owens also earned All-Region honors as she qualified for the NCAA Division I National Championship for the second-consecutive year. Missouri State can boast the most All-MVC cross country athletes and honors since Hipp’s arrival to the conference. Ten of Hipp’s athletes account for 15 All-MVC cross country honors, while three of his athletes have earned the title MVC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. Owens earned that honor in 2004, sophomore Pasca Cheruiyot did so in 2008 and Terry Phillips won this season. In addition to Owens, three more of Hipp’s runners have earned All-Region honors. Kristin Wolkey did so in 2005 while a pair of MSU harriers, Pasca Cheruiyot and Terry Phillips, were named to the All-Region team in 2008. Cheruiyot was third at the Midwest meet in 2008; the highest ever regional finish by an MSU runner. That finish qualified her for the NCAA Division I National Championship, becoming the first MSU sophomore to accomplish that feat. Phillips was also named to the All-Region team in 2009, becoming only the third MSU athlete to win the award twice. Only Owens has more All-Region honors. Hipp’s runners have continued to rewrite the MSU cross country records. MSU’s top five all-time cross country performers for 5K and four of the top five for 6K have all run for Hipp. As a senior in 2004, Owens set the MSU 5K (17:25.00) and 6K (20:46.00) records. Wolkey had her turn at the top of the 5K list in 2006 (17:23.00) before sophomore Cheruiyot claimed both the 5K and 6K records during the 2008 season with bests of 16:57.00 and 20:27.00, respectively. On the track, the Bears have remained a force in the MVC and the NCAA during Hipp’s five years as the program’s distance coach. Hipp’s runners have accumulated 40 All-MVC honors, nine MVC individual titles, been MVC runner-ups 14 times and have placed third 14 times. With three NCAA All-Region and one NCAA All-America track honors, Hipp’s runners have compiled 12 NCAA Regional and nine NCAA National Championship qualifying performances from the 800-meter up to the 10,000-meter. In 2005, Hipp guided Owens to one of the finest seasons in MSU history. On top of four league titles, Owens set two MVC all-time records (16:15.00 5,000m indoors, 33:32.00 10,000m outdoors), three MVC championship meet records and qualified for the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships where she was named to the All-America team. As the top collegiate finisher at the USA Championship Owens placed ninth in the 10,000-meter (33:32.00), setting MVC and state of Missouri collegiate records. Owens was also named to Team USA for an international road race event in

Chiba, Japan. Also notable under Hipp has been Missouri State’s success in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. In 2008, Jamie Vest qualified for the NCAA national championship, placing 26th, while Phillips was the fourth-ranked Junior (19 & Under) steeplechaser in America. During Phillips 2009 sophomore season, she became an NCAA National Championship Qualifier herself, placing 20th nationally. The 2008 and 2009 seasons were banner years for Hipp’s middle distance runners, as Asher Kyger broke the outdoor 1500-meter school record (4:26.20 - 2008) and the indoor Mile record (4:48.67 - 2009). Also in 2009, MSU’s distance medley relay team broke the MVC championship and all-time records running 11:24.02, the 18th fastest performance in the nation. The cross country teams have seen a great deal of success in the classroom under Hipp as well. Hipp’s cross country teams have received all-academic recognition by the USTFCCCA each season, including boasting the seventh-highest GPA in the country in 2006. MSU distance runners have also earned CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America awards three times since 2004. A native of Charlotte, N.C., Hipp came to MSU after one season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Appalachian State University. During that season his men and women swept the Southern Conference cross country titles, while five earned AllConference honors. Hipp also serves on the cross country committees for both USATF and the USTFCCCA. Hipp has earned his USATF Level II certification. A 2002 graduate of Appalachian State, Hipp earned his master’s degree in education from Missouri State in 2004.

Brent Hobbs Track and Field Assistant Coach, 2nd Season Clemson, 2005 Brent Hobbs is a second-year assistant coach on the Missouri State track and field staff. He primarily oversees the Bears’ jumpers, throwers, multi-event and pole vault athletes. He had a very impressive inaugural season with the Bears. Hobbs helped lead MSU to its first-ever NCAA Regional Qualifier, as well as its first-ever USA Junior National Qualifier, in the throws. He also coached an MVC outdoor champion and NCAA Regional Qualifier in the high jump. Under his direction, the Bears had two top-three high jump finishers at the MVC Championship for the first time in school history, as well as the second-ever MSU high jumper at the NCAA Regional meet. Hobbs came to Springfield from Western Carolina University where he served as an assistant coach working with the shot put, weight, discus, hammer, jump and multi events. His highly successful twoyear stint with the Catamounts saw his athletes earn 26 All-Southern Conference honors, including five conference individual titles and three NCAA Regional qualfiers. Hobbs is no stranger to team success as Western Carolina’s program took team titles four times; two for men and two for women, during his time in Cullowhee. Included among that team success was Western’s sweep of the conference’s men’s and women’s indoor team titles in 2008. As an athlete, Hobbs attended Clemson University where he was a standout on the Tiger Track & Field team. A seven-time All-ACC performer, three-time NCAA qualifier in the decathlon, three-time NCAA qualifier in the heptathlon, two-time NCAA regional qualifier in the 110 hurdles and All-American honors in the heptathlon top his major accomplishments. He was also a Nike All-American while attending Don Bosco Prep. A native of Stony Point, N.Y., Hobbs earned his bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Athletic Leadership from Clemson. He also completed his Master’s in Health and Human Performance at Western Carolina.

2010 Track and Field Season Outlook

The Missouri State track and field team will rely on seven returning All-Missouri Valley Conference performers to combat a young roster featuring 14 underclassmen, 11 of which are freshmen, as they gear up for the 2010 indoor and outdoor seasons and attempt to add to head coach Ronald Boyce’s eight MVC team titles. With an inexperienced group, coach Boyce will count on his top guns all year. “We are a little short on depth this year, so what we will need to do is have a couple heavy hitters,” Boyce said. “We are going to key in on five or six really good kids and try to really do a lot of damage with a small group.” And the Bears are well-armed to do just that. Terry Phillips will lead the way for both the distance group, and the team, after being a NCAA National Qualifier last season in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, an event in which she set the school record of 10:19.45 at the Drake Relays. The junior also excelled in the one mile and 5,000-meter runs during the indoor season. Fellow cross country runner and distance specialist Staci Nelson returns as an MVC Indoor Championship record holder, after her distance medley relay team ran an 11:42.69 to win the event last season. During the outdoor season, Nelson will also compete in the 1,500-meter run, the 3,000-meter run and will join Phillips in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Coach Boyce said she has steadily improved all three years, and he expects big things from her in her senior season. Complementing Phillips and Nelson in the Bears’ top tier are All-MVC sprinters Rashida Allen, Yaneika Malcolm and Corteneé Boulard. They made up three-fourths of the 4x400meter relay team that brought home an outdoor conference championship, with Allen and Malcolm also running with a squad that qualified for the NCAA Regionals. They will be the top sprinters, as Allen excels in the 100- and

All-MVC performer Corteneé Boulard

200-meter dashes while Malcolm was a standout in the 400-meter dash, finishing second at the outdoor championship last season. Not resting on last season’s performances, Allen has made strides toward becoming one of the conference’s elite. “She has been absolutely on fire over the last year,” Boyce said. “Rashida Allen is going to make a really good run for that most improved kind of kid.” Arguably the strongest group of the team will be the field events. The 2010 Bears boast the 2009 MVC Outdoor Championship firstand third-place finishers in the high jump, in seniors, and sisters, Mareneika and Zaleika Goffe. Mareneika’s 5-08.75 jump was the fifth-highest in school history, with Zaleika close behind at 5-05.00. Their performances garnered All-MVC recognition. Competing in the high jump, Mareneika was a top-five finisher in seven events during the indoor and outdoor seasons last year. Back as the Bears’ top thrower is sophomore Jeláni Kelly. Kelly enjoyed an impressive freshman season in which she was an NCAA Qualifier in the discus throw, placed fourth in that event at the MVC Outdoor Championship and finished in the top five at three events. She also competed in the shot put, hammer throw and 20-pound weight throw, where her 47-05.00 personal best makes her the thirdbest performer in school history. Under the tutelage of second-year assistant coach Brent Hobbs, Kelly looks to improve on her inaugural season. The Bears welcome a talented group of newcomers, with 11 freshmen ready to contribute. “We’ve got some freshmen that we think can do some damage for us,” Boyce said. “We have Jordan Bond who we think will be pretty good. Maggie Sutor is a pretty good runner and we hope she can do some damage in long distance. Ariel Butzine will be good. Emily Beaver really came along during the course of the cross country season. And I have a freshman who I think will ignite in Kimsue Grant. She is going to be interesting to watch.” Rounding out that deep class are throwers Katelynn Geier and redshirt freshman Scarlett McCall; distance runners Abby Schlater, Ashton Stubbs and Nicole Thate; and multi-event performer Olivia Koehler. There are also veterans who will push and help compliment the team. Assistant coach Greg Hipp, who oversees distance runners, has Andrea Marshall, Mari-Jean Vance and Stephanie Harres for competition. Kelsey McCowen will compete in the high jump, and sprinters Leneice Rolle, Jodiann Walker, Anda Udris and Shantel Llewellyn will provide much needed depth. Coach Boyce said Llewellyn, a fourth-place finisher in the 100-meter dash at the MVC Outdoor Championship, is one that could surprise. “It will only be her second semester on campus after arriving late last year, so that added comfort will help her,” said Boyce. “I think she is going to make a very positive and immediate impact for us.” The Bears will need every competitor on

Regional Qualifier Yaneika Malcolm hand for the long season, which opens Jan. 8 with the Missouri Invitational. “That is an important meet,” Boyce said. “That is territorial for us. It is right near town (in Columbia, Mo.). It is the first meet after the break. The cobwebs are there, but we still like to go up there and make a good presence. That is important for us.” Boyce also looks forward to the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa, Feb. 12-13. The meet will feature all of the Valley teams and will serve as a good barometer for the team as it gears up for the MVC Indoor Championship, Feb. 27-28. The outdoor season opens Mar. 27 in Fayetteville, Ark., with the Razorback Spring Invitational. The schedule also features the 101st running of the prestigious Drake Relays, Apr. 22-23. The MVC Outdoor Championship in Normal, Ill., will be held May 14-16. For runners who qualify, the NCAA West Regionals will be run in Austin, Texas, May 27-29. The MVC, both indoor and outdoor, will provide stiff competition for the Bears. “The MVC is a pretty good conference,” Boyce said. “What you are going to see in the MVC is depth. You are going to see a lot of good people in a lot of places. You are going to see teams perform well across the board, in all disciplines of track and field. You are going to see a lot of good competition.” In a sport that competes as individuals, Boyce emphasizes the importance of team if the Bears are to achieve their lofty goals. “If we can’t get together and operate as a unit we are going to have some problems. I think the biggest thing for us is going to be that we have to settle down and take care of each other. If we do, we will be fine because we have a lot of good, young kids.” Missouri State will host the 88th annual Aldo Sebben Missouri State Relays on Tuesday, April 27. The event features male and female high school runners from the surrounding areas. The meet will be held at Plaster Sports Complex.

2009 Missouri State Bears Season Review

INDOOR The Missouri State track and field team got off to a fast start during its indoor season in January as it traveled to Columbia for the Missouri Invitational. The Bears returned with four event victories and 18 top-10 finishes. Seniors Alexandria Oembler and Asher Kyger won the 60-meter hurdles and 3,000-meter run, respectively, to get the team off on the right foot. Junior Leander Ernest continued to dominate on the track as she took the titles in the 600-yard run and as a member of the 4x400-meter relay team. Ernest’s 600-yard time of 1:21.73 broke the 21-year old meet record. Yaneika Malcolm, Rashida Allen and newcomer Kindra Perkins teamed up with Ernest for the win on the relay team. The Bears went to Joplin in week two of the indoor season for the Missouri Southern Open Invitational. Oembler added a second win in the 60-meter hurdles to begin the season. Oembler earned MVC Track Athlete of the Week for her performance in the event. The sprinters placed two athletes in the topfour of both the 60-meter dash and the 60-meter hurdles. Week three saw the Bears face some fierce competition at the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. Ernest placed second in the 800-meter run championship with a time of 2:07.16, a mere hundredth of a second from winning the event. It would be the first of two times on the indoor season that Ernest would break the school record and the national record for her home country, St. Lucia, in the event. Ernest made it back-to-back weeks for the Bears in receiving the MVC Track Athlete of the Week honor. Kyger also broke a school record at the Razorback Invitational. She finished the mile run championship in 4:48.86, besting Casey Owens’ record by nearly four seconds. Missouri State finished the highly competitive month of January in Bloomington, Ind., at the Indiana Relays. Pasca Cheruiyot made an immediate impact in her first race as a member of the Missouri State team. Cheruiyot would finish second in the 3,000-meter run invitational with an NCAA Provisional time of 9:30.60.

the Indiana Relays, taking second in the long jump with a personal best distance of 18-10.75 feet (5.76 meters). She also placed third in the triple jump.

MVC All-Centennial Team

n 2006-07, the Missouri Valley Conference celebrated a century of excellence as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference. As a part of the Centennial Celebration, The Valley named all-centennial teams for each of its sponsored sports, including cross country and track and field. Track and Field holds the ultimate Centennial Celebration distinction as the very first athletic event ever contested in the Missouri Valley Conference, holding the first league championship in May of 1907. A total of 18 former Bears were honored on the MVC Cross Country and Track and Field All-Centennial Teams, while head coach Ronald Boyce was one of 11 Valley coaches recognized as the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest track and field coaches. The squad was determined through an on-line fan vote and by a centennial committee.

2009-10 Track and Field/Cross Country Guide

2009 Cross Country Review The 2009 Missouri State Cross Country team competed strongly with a roster full of newcomers and low on seniors. The Bears competed in six competitions all season, finishing outside of the top 10 only once. Missouri State was lead by sophomore sensation Terry Phillips, who was the top finisher for the Bears in every race. The Missouri State roster faced a stiff overhaul this season, with departures of top runners Jamie Vest and Pasca Cheruiyot. The new roster comprised of five returners and five freshmen. The lone senior on the squad was Staci Nelson (Chatham, Ill.). Juniors Stephanie Harres (Columbia, Ill.) and Mari-Jean Vance (Columbia, Mo.) rounded out the group of upperclassmen. The newcomers brought in by head coach Greg Hipp faced the difficulties associated with contributing right away. Emily Beaver (Diamond, Mo.), Abby Schlater (Council Bluffs, Iowa), Ashton Stubbs (Platte City, Mo.) and Maggie Sutor (Mokena, Ill.) stepped up to the task. Beaver, Schlater and Stubbs were routinely in the top five for the Bears all season. The Bears opened the season on Sept. 4, with a dual against Southwest Baptist in the four mile distance. Though team scoring was not kept, the Missouri State runners finished 1-9. The last Bear across the line finished a full six seconds before the first SBU athlete. Following the opening dual, the Bears hosted the Missouri State Classic on Sept. 19. The Classic featured some of the top talent in the Midwest with teams such as Kansas State and Tulsa competing at the Missouri State Cross Country Facility. In the event, the forecasted rain held out just long enough for the Bears to tally a fourthplace finish in the field of eight. Leading the way for Missouri State was Phillips, whose time of 17:36.0 was good enough for fifth place out of 79 runners. Beaver, in her first collegiate meet, ran a strong 18:46 and finished 17th overall. Missouri State then took to the road, travelling to Chicago, Ill. to compete in the Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational on Oct. 3. In this meet, Phillips captured the first

meet title in her collegiate career. Phillips’ time of 17:40 was eight seconds ahead of conference rival Tonya Nero of Wichita State, who finished second. Missouri State earned a second place finish behind Wichita State in the meet. Also scoring for the Bears was Beaver (18:41, 24th overall), Nelson (18:42, 25th overall), Stubbs (18:43, 26th overall) and Schlater (18:54, 31st overall).

The Bears wrapped up their regular season in Fayetteville, Ark. on Oct. 17 at the Chile Pepper Festival. This contest was the first in the 6K distance for the Bears all season. Conditions for the meet were very muddy, but the Bears persevered and earned an eighth-place finish among the field of 34. Again leading the way was Phillips, who turned in a time of 21:26.09. Phillips finished 12th overall and ninth among scored runners. The Bears continued to compete against top competition, as schools such as Texas Tech, BYU, Arkansas, Oklahoma State and

University of Missouri all participated in the festival. The road trip ended with an appearance at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in Peoria, Ill. Conditions for the meet were brutal, as standing water could be seen at numerous points along the course. Despite the rough terrain, Phillips again paced the field, winning the first conference championship of her career with a time of 18:32. Phillips became the third athlete to ever win a cross country championship, and coach Hipp’s second consecutive individual title. Though Phillips finished first, Missouri State was fifth in the field of 10, a mere 15 points out of second place. Though the Bears finished fifth in the conference meet, their season was not over, as Missouri State played host to the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional for Cross Country. Thirtythree of the top teams in the Midwest traveled to Springfield to partake in the event. The weather for this event led to ideal conditions for the meet. The day began at noon with a 10K men’s race, followed by the women running their own 6K race. In this event, the top two team finishes and the top four runners not affiliated with a top two team advance to the national contest. The Bears finished 12th as a team, and Phillips led the way for the Bears with an 18th-place finish. The regional marked the first time a race with a 6K distance has ever been run at Springfield Underground. Missouri State may not have made the national meet, but the program continued to earn high honors. Sophomore Terry Phillips won numerous accolades for her efforts. Among these honors were MVC Runner of the Week, MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week, First-team all-MVC and AllMidwest region team. Additionally, Phillips finished the season with the best time in the 5K among all women in the MVC. Phillips and Beaver also made the all-time top twenty for Missouri State. Phillips’ time of 17:36 in the Missouri State Classic is tied for eighth on the all-time list for 5K. Phillips time of 21:24.6 at the Midwest regional puts her fourth all-time in the 6K and Beaver’s time of 22:19 at the Chile Pepper Festival is 20th.

Mission

Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive university system with a mission in public affairs, whose purpose is to develop educated persons while achieving five goals: democratizing society, incubating new ideas, imagining Missouri’s future, making Missouri’s future, and modeling ethical and effective behavior. The University’s identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship. The academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences. This foundation provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make well-informed, independent critical judgments about the cultures, values, and institutions in society. The task of developing educated persons obligates the University to expand the store of human understanding through research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and drawing from that store of understanding, to provide service to the communities that support it. In all of its programs, the University uses the most effective methods of discovering and imparting knowledge and the appropriate use of technology in support of these activities. The University functions through a multicampus system that is integrated to address the needs of its constituents.

uuConstructed in 1908 as the first campus building after the founding of Missouri State University, Carrington Hall (above) houses many of the University’s administrative offices, as well as an auditorium that is used for classes, concerts, films, lectures, and other special events.
