On a warm spring day, I stopped by the Trulaske College of Business to thank faculty and staff for their work supporting our students and the university.

The college’s numbers are on a good trajectory, with more than 4,400 undergraduates enrolled in fall 2022. Their results are even more impressive when you consider widespread declines in university attendance across the nation. Mizzou is bucking the trend of declining enrollment because we prepare students for great careers and have the graduation rate (75%) and job placement rate (95.4%) to prove our value.

We’ll continue working with leadership to nominate nationally-recognized prospective College of Business faculty for MizzouForward. We’re spreading the word that MizzouForward provides startup costs, salaries and fringe benefits while also investing in projects that support student success.

Whether students want to lead a major company – or start their own – Trulaske is the perfect place to launch an incredible future.
