Over the past several years the Missouri State College of Business Administration has hosted a very successful Executive-in-Residence Series which involves inviting key executives to campus to interact with students and faculty.  The day normally begins with a breakfast session scheduled for the business community.  This event entitled "Breakfast with Champions" allows faculty an opportunity to interact with local business leaders.
