We just finished another unforgettable Homecoming weekend.
I appreciate the hard work of Tri-Directors Jonathan Jain, Adela Keller and Annie Watson along with all students on the Steering Committee. I also want to congratulate Christian Hall and Josie Johnson, MU’s 2023 Homecoming King and Queen, as well as the three outstanding alumni we welcomed into the Mizzou Hall of Fame:

On Saturday, Mizzou Football won big over the University of South Carolina. Congratulations to the team, as well as to Coach Drinkwitz, the coaching staff and Athletic Director Desiree Reed-Francois. Mizzou Football now has an impressive 7-1 record and is ranked #16 in the country. Georgia, here we come!
I want to again thank our Mizzou alumni and students for making this the best Homecoming ever!
