New agreement eases path for students in agriculture business field
JOPLIN, Mo. — Crowder College and Missouri Southern are making it easier for students to break into one of the fastest-growing industries in the Four States. The '2 plus 2' agreement signed today at MSSU's Billingsly Student Center formalizes a pathway for students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Business. New agreement eases path for students in agriculture business field KGCS relocation postponed by weather conditions MSSU's World Music and Cuisine Festival celebrates global culture Students will spend two years studying agriculture at Crowder. Then, they'll complete business coursework in economics, finance, and management at Missouri Southern. The agreement ensures that no credit hours are lost when students make the transfer. 'A lot of our students are working part-time, so they don't need to be repeating courses. The other part of it is, employers are waiting on talent. So the more that students have to repeat courses, the longer it takes the employers to get this talent into the workforce,' said Dr. Chett Daniel, Crowder College President. 'Crowder College has great resources in terms of a farm and that kind of hands-on agricultural education. That would be very expensive for us to do. So it just makes sense, especially in this academic area, to partner with Crowder to take advantage of their great resources,' said Dr. Dean Van Galen, Missouri Southern State University President. Today's agreement is especially meaningful for Dr. Daniel. Not only is it his first act as the president of Crowder College, it also mirrors his own journey as a first-generation college student who transferred from Crowder to Southern.

KGCS relocation postponed by weather conditions
JOPLIN, Mo. — Weather is causing some delays for KGCS at MSSU as it tries to relocate its antenna transmitter closer to campus. The original plan was to temporarily take the TV station off air April 22 for a few days while the equipment is moved. The weather has gotten in the way of the relocation process. As of now, crews haven't even started the process of relocating the transmitter and aren't sure when it will happen. KGCS relocation postponed by weather conditions MSSU's World Music and Cuisine Festival celebrates global culture University station to temporarily go off-air for equipment move 'It gets really muddy, so and you can't climb a tower in a severe weather situation or a thunderstorm where there might be lightning, so we have had a bit of a weather delay. But weather permitting, the antenna will come down and go back up on campus at a tower here,' said Lisa Olliges Green, MSSU KGCS News General Manager. Once they get the okay from the crews working on moving on that, they will have a scheduled outage for about four days. After the work is complete, the TV station will go back to its normal scheduled programming. If you still want to watch KGCS programs while they are off air, then you can watch it on their YouTube channel. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Man shot by deputies in Jasper County dies from injuries
JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — A man shot by Jasper County Sheriff deputies last week has died from his injuries. Deputies say when they arrived, Newton was armed with a knife and refused commands to get on the ground. They say he charged at them, so they tased him twice, but Newton continued to charge at them and that's when they fired their weapons multiple times. The shooting remains under investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
