Our weekly program, Missouri State Journal, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and Missouri State University. It's hosted and produced by MSU's Office of Strategic Communication, and it airs each Tuesday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.

Themed “Inclusive Engagement: Uplifting the Power of Community,” Missouri State University’s 2024 Collaborative Diversity Conference will take place from April 25-26. 

For the second year in a row, the conference will be held off campus at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Springfield. It’s open to the public.
