Students at Missouri Western will get to see President Matthew Wilson in a whole new light across campus, as he touts his new golf cart, dubbed the presidential limo.
The vehicle was unveiled Friday morning at the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex and was purchased through community and business donations from Gray Manufacturing, ProServ, E.L. Crawford Construction Inc. and Sunshine Electronic Display Corp.
“When I started last semester, one of the things that I did was I would go out and I would commandeer the golf cart from admissions. … I would stop and take students from point A to point B. I kind of became the campus Uber,” Wilson said. “It was a great way for me to introduce myself to students and it was great for them to save time going in between classes, particularly on cold days.”
