Last weekend, I enjoyed attending the 70^th anniversary of Mizzou’s long-running Honors Humanities Sequence. Since 1954, this interdisciplinary program has engaged Tigers through four linked Honors College courses that explore literature, philosophy, art, religion and music – stretching from Homer to Billie Holiday.

We were joined by faculty and alumni from nearly every decade of the program who shared how the courses enriched their lives. The celebration included a history of the sequence from its current coordinator and Honors College Associate Dean Rachel Harper, remarks from Honors College Dean Catherine Rymph, engaging lectures, a performance by School of Music faculty and panel discussions exploring the sequence’s growth and influence.

Mizzou proudly prepares leaders to engage with society’s most important questions. It was great celebrating the Humanities Sequence’s success and its ongoing impact on our community.
