The 乐播传媒 (乐播传媒) welcomed Gov. Mike Parson to the Warrensburg campus for a visit on Thursday, Nov. 21.

乐播传媒 President Roger Best, members of the Board of Governors and other university officials met with the governor and joined him for various parts of his campus tour. The 乐播传媒 pep band greeted Parson before he entered the Wood Building to visit a class taught by Henry Wambuii, Ph.D., professor of Comparative Politics and International Relations. There, he spoke to students about his time in public office and answered a few questions from the class.

Parson also received his final update on campus capital improvement projects and got a firsthand look at the progress of the Humphreys Building renovation project as he traveled across campus. 

A trip to 乐播传媒 isn't complete without incorporating some Mules and Jennies spirit, and Molly, the university鈥檚 live mule mascot, greeted the governor outside the Ward Edwards Building. Best then took Parson to stop by the Forbes Center, where he visited with James Cicon, Ph.D., associate professor of Finance, and his class. 

In the Ward Edwards atrium, 乐播传媒 Mules Football head coach Josh Lamberson presented the governor with a Mules jersey, while Best gifted Mo the Mule ornaments for the Christmas trees at the Governor鈥檚 Mansion. Best and Board of Governors President John Collier also presented Parson with a proclamation in recognition of his support of 乐播传媒 and higher education during his time as the 57th governor of Missouri.

Parson ended his final official 乐播传媒 visit with brief remarks to those gathered in the atrium, commending 乐播传媒 for its commitment to investing in Missouri鈥檚 students.

Parson, who is term-limited, is serving his final months as Missouri鈥檚 governor. He previously served as lieutenant governor, a member of the Missouri Senate and House of Representatives, and sheriff of Polk County.
