A Message from our Gold Sponsor:

It's a new day at Mizzou. And, as with any new year, it's a good time to reflect upon and to celebrate our past, our present and our future.

Mizzou pride has burned bright for more than a century. Over 175 years ago, Mizzou was already here as the first public university west of the Mississippi River. Today, Mizzou is a storied institution with a rich history and traditions. And although we’ve faced challenges, some things remain unchanged. Our optimism. Our resilience. Our progress.

We are Missouri’s public, land grant research university. As such, we will continue to evolve and to adapt to changes in our student body, our state and our nation. We will continue to strive to be even better for all Missourians who choose to study with and support us.

That’s because, ultimately, Mizzou is a place to learn and to grow. Based on quality of teaching, research and scholarship, MU is one of only 34 public U.S. universities — and one of only two institutions in Missouri — invited to membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU).

A $2.2 billion global enterprise, MU accounts for about 70 percent of the research dollars flowing to Missouri public universities. This research not only creates new knowledge and breakthroughs, but also benefits the local and state economy, generating new jobs.

For these reasons and countless more, hundreds of alumni and friends continue to support the historic $1.3 billion Mizzou: Our Time to Lead campaign to endow resources for MU’s future, support signature research centers and institutes, and fuel a campus renaissance. They have raised more than $768 million so far, demonstrating just how bright our future will be.

As we start a new year, it truly is our time to lead; on campus, in our city and in our state. I look forward to sharing more details on what’s in store for Mizzou in 2016 and beyond at the upcoming the Quarterly Membership Breakfast.

Sincerely,

Hank Foley

Interim Chancellor
