New Vice Provost
MSSU names Dr. Lisa Toms as the next Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. University officials chose her for the position after a national search with more than 80 applicants.

New MSSU Degree
The College of Business and the Kinesiology Department will offer an interdisciplinary bachelor’s program in Sport and Recreation Management, pending approval by the HLC.
The new degree was proposed to address the increased interest and employment opportunities available in the recreation and sport industry.

The Bachelor of Science in Sport and Recreation Management will fit within the 120-credit-hour model and includes a 41-credit hour sport and recreation management core developed to provide students with employment-related skills in the athletics, recreation and leisure service agencies.
