Join us for the Missouri Valley Conference Alumni Breakfast on March 8. We will meet in Sterling 3 at the Hyatt Regency at the Arch. Signage will be posted throughout the hotel to assist you to our room.
We created some round table discussion topics as suggested by our colleagues. Take a look below and think where you would like to land when you get there. Also, try to break up your team if you can to best take advantage of the experience.
