The current (September 2023) issue of Missouri State, the magazine for MSU Alumni and Friends, includes a 12-page article about the Ozarks Program at the 2023 Smithsonian Folklife Festival held on the National Mall in DC for ten days in late June and early July. MSU was the lead partner with the Smithsonian Institution on the program, and the MSU Libraries led MSU’s efforts.

The Ozarks Program even made the cover of the magazine!

Kaitlyn McConnell from OzarksAlive.com is the author of the article. Among her many professional activities, she has been working as a non-student, part-time employee of the MSU Libraries for over a year now, assisting with the planning and production of the Ozarks Program and other Ozarks-related initiatives.
