It’s now been three years that UM System President Dr. Mun Choi has also served as Mizzou’s chancellor in Columbia. Dr. Choi says it’s been an interesting three years, including the COVID pandemic.

“I personally enjoy the interactions that I have with the campus. Interactions with the faculty, staff, students, alums and other supporters of the university,” President Choi says.

Dr. Choi says the UM System and Mizzou must tell its story better. One of the the things he plans to do in the future is talk more about the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) in Columbia, saying MURR saves lives. The ten-megawatt MURR is the most powerful university research reactor in the nation.

President Choi tells 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Round Table” that he looks forward to several more years at Mizzou. President Choi says it’s been beneficial to serve as both UM System president and Mizzou chancellor.

“I can share that we’ve had significant savings because of reducing of the duplications that existed between the (UM) System and the (Mizzou) campus,” says Choi.

Dr. Choi is also praising the work Mizzou and MU Extension does with agriculture.

Missouri’s governor will be leaving Jefferson City Thursday afternoon for an overseas trade mission to Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Greece. The trade mission is being funded by the nonprofit Hawthorn Foundation.

Governor Mike Parson (R) says those three counties are existing trade partners for Missouri, with $126-million, $77-million and $12-million in 2021 exports, respectively. The governor will be meeting with company representatives in all three nations that have existing relationships in Missouri. Parson will thank them for investing in the Show-Me State.

Governor Parson will be traveling with First Lady Teresa Parson, Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) director Chris Chinn and state Department of Economic Development (DED) acting director Maggie Kost. They’ll be joined by two key Missouri legislative leaders from differing political parties. House Speaker-designee Dean Plocher (R-Des Peres) and State Sen. Brian Williams (D-University City) will be on the trade mission. Senator Williams is the assistant minority floor leader. Several others will be on the trip as well.

Agriculture will be a key theme during the trade mission. In Israel, Governor Parson will meet with companies that have an existing presence in Missouri. They include Israel Chemicals Ltd., a leading global specialty minerals company. The governor will also participate in an ag-tech roundtable discussion with Orange Grove in Greece. The aim is to let Greek companies know about Missouri’s agricultural strengths.

During the trip, the governor and first lady will also lay a wreath at Israel’s official memorial to Holocaust victims.
