serves as the president of the United Way of Greater St. Joseph. She is celebrating her 17th year with the United Way, including her 12th year as president. Strough loves working with different individuals around St. Joseph and being a \u201chelper.\u201d She is incredibly passionate assisting those in need around the St. Joseph community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strough initially chose to attend Missouri Western because she wanted to stay close to home. She knew she would be able to keep her part-time job, attend school and take advantage of the extracurriculars she was interested in. \u201cIt had everything I wanted and was in my backyard!\u201d Strough joined the business department and knew it was where she belonged. She intended to work in a business and use volunteering to fulfill her need to serve the community. After graduation, she had the opportunity to volunteer with the United Way. Shortly following, a position opened up and she applied. She has been working there ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strough has remained strongly connected with the university throughout her life. \u201cI have been fortunate to experience MWSU in several ways \u2013 as a kiddo growing up and going to basketball and football games on campus, as a student, as a member of the Board of Governors,\u201d Strough said. \u201c[My husband and I] are Gold Coat and Foundation supporters, and I serve on the Craig School of Business Advisory Council.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She believes that people are the sum of all their experiences, but says she wouldn\u2019t be where she is today \u2013 personally or professionally \u2013 without Missouri Western. \u201cMy degree path and experiences at MWSU prepared me to be able to handle much of what crosses my desk and to know when I need to reach out to an expert for help,\u201d she said. \u201cOne of the things that I could not have gotten anywhere else except MWSU is a network of contacts.\u201d Many of the professionals that came into her classes or that helped with activities during her time as a student are people she has had a chance to work with during her career.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Missouri Western alumna serving as the president of the United Way of Greater St. Joseph, Strough sees an unlimited number of opportunities for the city and university to unite together in positive ways. \u201cMWSU <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> our university. It\u2019s here in our community. It\u2019s providing jobs, attracting students and educating the next generation of our citizens,\u201d Strough said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be an alumni to support it: wear black and gold, attend events, be welcoming to students. They\u2019re in St. Joseph \u2013 let\u2019s give them a reason to stay!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-button.button-1 {border-radius:4px;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/business\/\" style=\"margin-top:30px;margin-right:30px;margin-bottom:30px;margin-left:30px;\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text fusion-button-text-right\">Craig School of Business<\/span><span class=\"fusion-button-icon-divider button-icon-divider-right\"><i class=\"fa-angle-right fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 30 !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 30 !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 30px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 30px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":1963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1961"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1961"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1967,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1961\/revisions\/1967"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
