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 a.m. on KSMU.
Dr. Kara Wolfe, director of the School of Hospitality and Agricultural Leadership at Missouri State University, joins Missouri State Journal to talk about what makes the Ozarks a unique travel destination. She also shares how Missouri State supports the region’s tourism industry through education and community partnerships.
Wolfe offered practical travel tips and highlighted destinations like Dickerson Park Zoo, Fantastic Caverns, Frisco Trail and Silver Dollar City — encouraging listeners to be intentional with their time, whether seeking relaxation or adventure.
