State representatives and senators gathered on campus for a day of interactive sessions on key issues impacting all Missourians, including agriculture, health care and public policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The academy was developed in collaboration with Missouri House and Senate leadership from both parties. They nominated rising caucus members to attend and suggested program topics critical to Missouri\u2019s future. The event was hosted in partnership with the MU College of Arts and Science, the Truman School of Government and Public Affairs and MU Extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day included tours of campus \u2013 including the Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health building \u2013 and presentations from Mizzou faculty highlighting the many important ways our university gives back and how we can work with elected officials to make an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mizzou delivers an incredible $5 billion in value to the state and has a presence in each of our 114 counties and the city of St. Louis. We are proud to collaborate alongside legislators to ensure Missourians across the state benefit from our teaching, research and engagement, including access to state-of-the-art medical treatment, support for small businesses, information for crop and land management and opportunities for leadership development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoyed hearing firsthand<a> how we can continue to b<\/a>e a trusted partner that delivers our land-grant mission of service for all Missourians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we were pleased to welcome Missouri General Assembly members for the first Missouri Legislative Leadership Academy.
