(From Missouri Southern State University)Joplin Schools and Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) will formally sign the Future-Ready Joplin: A College and Career Partnership with Missouri Southern agreement on September 24 at 11 a.m. in the Black Box Theater at Joplin High School.
The partnership strengthens the pathway from high school to college and careers by providing Joplin High School students with expanded access to admissions support, financial aid resources, career exploration, leadership opportunities, campus experiences, and other programs designed to make the transition to higher education more seamless.
Joplin Schools Superintendent Dr. Kerry Sachetta and MSSU President Dr. Dean Van Galen will provide remarks before formally signing the agreement.
Through the partnership, MSSU will provide a dedicated admissions counselor for Joplin students, host application and enrollment events at Joplin High School, and offer financial aid programs for students and families.
Students will also have opportunities to explore career pathways through MSSU’s academic programs and meta majors, participate in leadership opportunities, visit the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center, and attend campus information and Discovery Day events.
The collaboration will also include student ambassador visits, joint academic and industry programming, special events, and opportunities such as Joplin Schools Day at MSSU athletic events and a Green and Gold event at Joplin High School, where juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to win two $1,000 scholarships.

This makes more sense than that ridiculous MOSOCAPS that they tried to do.
This agreement is the biggest bunch of nothing I've seen in a long while. Don't Joplin High School students already have opportunities to explore career pathways through MSSU’s academic programs and meta majors, visit the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center, and attend campus information and Discovery Day events?
