This is just a comment that you may want to report on. Did you know that MSSC is the ONLY public college that HAD school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day? I researched by checking all Missouri Public Colleges websites for their academic calendars and MSSC was the ONLY college to have classes on MLK day. I also found that many of the schools (including SMSU) have two spring breaks on week in March and a 4 day holiday in April, yet they still end their semester at the same time as ours.
