“Webster University has a stellar reputation throughout our region, and I am excited to lead the Rolla campus and help it continue to grow,” said Edwards.

Cass Butler, Webster’s regional director of the Midwest/West extended campuses, is excited to have Edwards on board. “Dr. Edwards will be a great fit for our Rolla campus,” said Butler. “He has experience both in the classroom and in administrative roles, and we look forward to seeing him use those experiences to support our Rolla programs.”
