President's Highlights - February 2024

Continuing Support

The new semester is off to a strong start across the UM System. We’ve celebrated success in athletics, innovative partnerships and record investments in groundbreaking research that benefits all Missourians. In recognition of our statewide impact, Gov. Mike Parson recommended increases to our core budget for teaching, research and meaningful engagement, as well as capital investments in our research infrastructure. We are grateful for Gov. Parson’s leadership – and the incredible support of our elected officials – as we continue to make a difference in each Missouri community.
