Shaping the Future

We are proud to celebrate another successful spring semester, including the accomplishments of our new 91´ó»ÆѼ System graduates! I know they are ready to make an impact in our state and beyond. We also look forward to new opportunities to enhance our important work, and I am especially grateful to Governor Mike Kehoe and the Missouri Legislature for their strong support of our land-grant mission – including continued investment in lifesaving radioisotopes at NextGen MURR. Our four 91´ó»ÆѼ universities are determined to make a difference for all we serve. The following stories reflect the many achievements of our incredible students, faculty and staff. Together, our commitment to excellence stretches from outer space to communities in Missouri and throughout the world.
