In keeping with Missouri State University’s statewide mission in public affairs, each year the Missouri State Board of Governors recognizes students who exemplify the concept of a citizen scholar.
A citizen scholar contributes to the university, advances the university’s public affairs mission and engages in extra-curricular accomplishments and/or in significant service activities in the community.
The 2014 Citizen Scholars include:
- Jared Bajkowski (Pronounced Bah-KOW-ski), a senior entrepreneurship major from Lee’s Summit, Missouri
- Jared Cates, a graduate student in the student affairs in higher education master’s program, from West Plains, Missouri
- Brittany Donnellan (Pronounced DON-ellen), a senior international business major with a Spanish minor from Springfield
- Jordan McGee, a senior economics and organizational communication major from Ellisville, Missouri
- Samantha Nichols, a senior religious studies major with an Ozarks studies minor from Stillwell, Kansas
