The summer meeting of the Northwest Missouri State board of regents included continuing support for the university's regional professional development center that assists elementary and secondary schools.

The more than $2 million dollar contract between the center and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education supports the work of 17 full time and four part time employees. The center, which Northwest has supported for more than 30 years, assists 59 school districts in the 15 county region of northwest Missouri.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
