Meet Missouri’s New Commissioner Of Higher Ed And Workforce Development

(Missouri Net) – Missouri’s new commissioner of higher education and workforce development has hit the ground running.

Bennett Boggs was previously the deputy executive director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education and before that, he worked for the National Conference of State Legislatures.

He says Missouri has assets that might sometimes be taken for granted.

Boggs says some community colleges have found success helping students by focusing on transportation, childcare and some of their other needs.
