We recently hosted another memorable It Begins at Mizzou alumni event, this time in the heart of New York City. It was great sharing our incredible impact with New York alumni who know firsthand the power of a Mizzou education.

Our main panel discussion explored Mizzou’s commitment to civil discourse and featured Law School Dean Paul Litton, Director of the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy Jay Sexton and Ella Rose Ferguson, a junior studying political science and constitutional democracy. Together, they shared how Mizzou encourages students to tackle society’s toughest challenges while promoting intellectual pluralism and mutual respect.

Guests also had a chance to connect with talented students in the Cornell Leadership Program. Program participants were in town for Tigers on Wall Street, a week-long opportunity to tour and learn more about industry-leading companies, including Meta, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and many others.

While in New York, I also met with some of our most dedicated supporters, including Chuck Wall, Sandy Sharp and Dan Arnall. We were pleased to highlight our progress and to discuss new ways we can work together to ensure excellence for those we serve in Missouri and across the nation.

Thank you to all who attended and showed their passion for the University of Missouri. I look forward to our next stop in Houston!
