Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Missouri Southern is nearing completion of plans years in the making for a walking trail that will connect the campus to the Northpark Mall.
Inspiration for the trail, from both the city of Joplin and Missouri Southern, originated from the large international student population, many of whom do not have vehicles. The lack of transportation highlighted a larger problem of student safety. . .
“Our international students keep increasing every year,” said Bob Harrington, director of the physical plant. “But, a lot of the students that stay on campus don’t have cars … this would provide a convenient bike trail, walking trail, to get to the mall or movie theater.”
