Initiatives
The Belong-B-Que is Student Support & Opportunity Services' major event during Welcome
Weekend. A combination cookout, information fair, and performance. The Belong-B-Que
showcases the wide range of student groups and resources here at Missouri State University.
The Student Opportunity Fund provides financial support to students or student organizations
who are aiming to promote the 3 pillars of the Public Affairs mission at Missouri
State University. Funding can be allocated for programs, conference travel or other
initiatives students can use to make MSU a more just community.
Held every December and May, this celebration honors graduates who have had a lasting
impact on Student Support & Opportunity Services, International Programs, the Disability
Resource Center, our offices, Missouri State University and the Springfield Community.
Hosted annually in the Fall semester, the Annual Networking & Welcome Reception brings
together faculty, staff, students, and community partners from across the Missouri
State University and Greater Springfield Communities to network, build community,
and ensure a sustained commitment to student success.
