Continuing Path to Sustainability

Sustainability is more than a buzzword or a trend, and Missouri State University continues to strive for excellence in this area.

That is why we’re hosting, “Continuing Path to Sustainability,” a conference and exhibition of local initiatives to get the Springfield and campus community thinking of ways to integrate sustainable actions into their everyday lives.

Join us throughout the day to learn about our community’s “Continuing Path to Sustainability.” Find a way that you can get involved in sustaining the earth—it’s a long-term goal that benefits everyone.

Visitor parking is available.
