Southeast Missouri State students join governor's forum to build leadership skills

Four Southeast Missouri State University student leaders attended the annual Missouri Governor’s Student Leadership Forum in Jefferson City over the weekend.

SEMO students Sarah Chapman, Dustin Robers, Connor Warnke and Stella Wright were among 80 students nominated to represent their colleges at the forum, which ran from Feb. 14 through Feb. 16 at the Missouri State Capitol.

Gov. Mike Kehoe welcomed students for a weekend focused on “self-reflection, relationship-building and learning from experienced leaders across various fields.”

The event was established in 1988 under former governor and United States Attorney General John Ashcroft and “continues to shape future leaders by emphasizing humility, service and strong moral character,” according to a news release from the university.
