Last week, Provost Matthew Martens and I were proud to share that Mizzou received reaccreditation from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). This honor reflects our sustained drive for excellence across academic programs. It also demonstrates our strong support for student success and our proven impact in Missouri and around the country.

Reaccreditation occurs every ten years and requires substantial engagement across campus. In February, we hosted HLC reviewers who met with 200 university stakeholders to better understand our mission and community. In total, nearly 700 students, faculty, administrators and staff contributed to the preparation process, including participation in a mock site visit in November.

HLC accreditation is essential to continuing our important work. Thank you to the Office of the Provost for their leadership and to all who advance our land-grant mission of excellence.
