Our Mission
The Chancellor’s Speaker Series was established in 2023 through the support of Missouri S&T Chancellor Mo Dehghani to bring renowned speakers to Missouri S&T to share compelling stories with our community. The series seeks to introduce topics that speak to issues of importance within society and encourage the creative exchange of thoughts and ideas.
