Missouri State University's Paws to the Polls, a student led organization, encourages MSU students to vote and educates them ahead of Election Day. The university also offers voter registration, and it offers a central polling location where any registered voter may cast a ballot. On November 5, the polling site will move from the Welcome Center to Great Southern Bank Arena.
Other colleges and universities in Springfield are also voter registration sites.
In this episode of Engaging the Community, Missouri State University President Dr. Biff Williams and MSU anthropology professor and faculty coordinator of Paws to the Polls Suzanne Walker-Pacheco discuss the university's role in the election process.
