This weekend, Mizzou made history – and not just with our thrilling 42-31 victory over kU in the Border Showdown!

On Friday, we publicly launched Power the Roar, a bold $2 billion comprehensive campaign to fuel our land-grant mission and create meaningful impact for generations.

I was honored to join campaign co-chairs Paul and Lynn Ann Vogel, along with dedicated Mizzou alumni, students, faculty, staff and supporters for an evening event celebrating the campaign announcement. The night concluded with the incredible Illuminate Mizzou drone show on Carnahan Quad – sharing the energy and excitement of Power the Roar with our entire community.

This is a pivotal moment for Mizzou. Power the Roar is built around five key priorities that shape the future of Mizzou excellence.

• Educate future leaders
• Save and improve lives
• Build a sustainable world
• Strengthen communities
• Develop champions

We have the momentum to achieve success, and last year marked the highest fundraising total in university history. Prior to the public launch, we received incredible support during the campaign’s leadership phase: More than 61,000 donors contributed nearly $760 million. We’re grateful for their remarkable support and eager for even more Tigers to join us, including those who know firsthand the lifechanging power of a Mizzou education.

This campaign is about letting the world know that Mizzou makes an impact for students, for Missourians and for society. This is our time. This is our purpose. With your support, Mizzou will Power the Roar!
