Mission Promise Kept

The Center of Excellence for Veteran Success will serve veterans of all genders at Stephens, particularly those who are part of Mission Promise Kept.

With an emphasis on growth and becoming a strong individual, Convocation 2023 kicked off the academic year with fun, fabulous speakers, and fresh perspectives on what it means to be Stephens.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson this week signed bipartisan legislation designating June 12 of each year Women Veterans Appreciation Day. The bill was sponsored by State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) at the request of Elizabeth Herrera, the Executive Director of Mission Promise Kept at Stephens College, and a United States Air Force Veteran.

Stephens College has hired Elizabeth Herrera as executive director of Mission Promise Kept, the first comprehensive college program designed to meet the full spectrum of living and learning needs of our nation’s women veterans.
