Chancellor Mark James attended the University of Missouri – Columbia Provost’s Staff Retreat on Sept. 1 in Blue Springs, Mo. James served on the panel with Bob Marcusse, Kansas City Area Development Council; Jim Heeter, Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Chamber; and Dan Getman, president of Kansas City Life Science Institute.Discussion focused on furthering the partnership between MCC and the University of Missouri, specifically regarding transfer and workforce training initiatives.
This was a huge opportunity for MCC. We were invited to sit at the table with the senior leadership team of the University of Missouri - Columbia in their two-day strategic planning retreat to discuss opportunities for collaboration. I anticipate numerous follow up discussion will occur between MU and MCC as we look for new and exciting opportunities that represent a win-win for our students, our communities, and our employees. They were amazed by the things you all are doing and it was my honor to tell your story!
