At tonight’s Tiger basketball game, we highlighted a few of our 2020 and 2021 Kemper Fellows.

Every year, the William T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence honors five outstanding faculty members for their impact on Mizzou students. We were glad that some of our past winners could join me, Curator Darryl Chatman and Steve Sowers, president and CEO of Commerce Bank Central Region, on Norm Stewart Court for a round of applause from Tiger fans.

Together, we were proud to recognize:

2020 Kemper Fellows
  • Libby Cowgill, associate professor of anthropology in the College of Arts and Science
  • Daryl Smith, associate teaching professor of management in the Trulaske College of Business
2021 Kemper Fellows
  • Antoinette Landor, associate professor in the College of Human Environmental Sciences
  • Marty Steffens, professor and the Society of American Business Editors and Writers endowed chair at the Missouri School of Journalism

Congratulations to all. Later this spring, we will announce our 2022 Kemper Fellows.
