JoAnn Graffam, who up to now has been the Missouri Southern Interim Vice President for Development, had the interim title removed today as she was given the permanent vice president position.

Graffam had been a finalist along with Morgan Clevenger, who is currently finishing his Doctor of Education degree at the University of Missouri.

The decision was announced in conjunction with the November Board of Governors meeting.

As interim vice president, Graffam has already started work in the position.

The Chart will have more on this story as it becomes available.
