Earlier this week, I attended a reception honoring the five finalists for the 2022-23 Mark Twain Fellowship.

Since 2014, this prestigious annual award has provided financial support to a Mizzou senior pursuing graduate study in a non-North American university.

It was great to hear from past Mark Twain Fellows, including Liz Kujath, the 2021-22 recipient who is studying linguistics at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

As a world-class university, Mizzou shares the impact of our community around the globe through the Mark Twain Fellowship. Each of these five Tigers is ready to make significant contributions in their chosen field.

We look forward to announcing this year’s Mark Twain Fellow later this semester.
