We have the best Homecoming in the country – and one of our great annual traditions is welcoming a new class of Mizzou Hall of Fame honorees. These awards recognize distinguished, high-achieving alumni who enhance Mizzou’s legacy of service and excellence.

During our ceremony last Friday, Homecoming Tri-Directors helped us introduce and celebrate three incredible alumni:

• Hayes Barnard, B.S. B.A. ’95 – Founder, Chairman & CEO, GoodLeap & GivePower; Founder, GoodFinch

• Mary Rhodes Russell, J.D. ’83 – Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri

• Bill Thompson, B.S. C.i.E. ’68, L.H.D. ’05 – Chairman Emeritus, PIMCO; Principal, WST Partners; Founder, Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopment at Mizzou

Through their accomplishments, these proud Tigers have transformed communities and society. They live our values of Respect, Responsibility, Discovery and Excellence each day, and we are pleased to commend their impact in Missouri and around the world.

Congratulations to our Mizzou Hall of Fame honorees! We are grateful for their example of leadership, and for the many contributions of our more than 360,000 global alumni.
