(From KGCS)Oh Canada! The Land of the Maple Leaf is the focus of the fall semester at Missouri Southern State University which embraces an international mission. It is also the focus of the upcoming Newsmakers program.
Dr. Chad Stebbins, Director of the Institute of International Studies, offers an overview of the themed semester’s purpose and the variety of events that broaden the intellectual horizon for students and expose them to Canadian culture. A potato chip tasting event will be held for students and the show includes highlights of one held with administrators.
The semester kicks off with an art exhibit prepared by students who traveled to Canada in the spring of 2024. Frank Pishkur, Chair of the Department of Art and Design, explains how the study abroad program connects to the themed semester and the role of the art exhibit. Art Professor Kyle McKenzie and student Tijorn Skelton discuss their experiences in Canada and the inspiration for their art. Other events include lectures, a film festival, a theatrical production and a concert by the MSSU band.
Newsmakers is airing nightly at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. the week of August 4 on KGCS-TV and will air at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, August 10 on KOAM-TV. It is also posted on the station’s YouTube channel: KGCS - Missouri Southern State University.
