Our April Alumni Impact Series event will focus on the theme of Quality of Life, exploring what it truly means to thrive in the Ozarks and what stands in the way for our most vulnerable neighbors. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how social determinants of health, institutional practices, and community resources shape everyday quality of life across Southwest Missouri, and how each of us can play a role in creating transformational, systemic change.

Get up to speed with the Springfield community in our Access Class! Designed for mid- to high-level professionals, this crash course in the community is perfect for those who are new to the area or those looking to expand their professional connections. Participants will spend two full days exploring the city, fostering connections with community leaders, and discovering what they can do to impact the world right here locally.

This transformational leadership series is designed for individual leaders looking to level-up their skills and performance.
