Dr. Brad Hodson

SEMO will inaugurate Dr. Brad Hodson as its new president during Homecoming Week, featuring campus events, a block party, and an official ceremony on Friday, Oct. 17.

At Southeast Missouri State University, Dr. Carlos Vargas has become more than just a president—he’s been a mentor, a supporter, and a champion for students. Now, as he prepares to move on, his legacy continues through the lives he’s impacted on campus.
