On Tuesday, Provost Latha Ramchand and I helped celebrate faculty who received promotions or were granted tenure during the last academic year. In total, we honored 102 members of our academic community, including 21 newly tenured faculty, across multiple disciplines.

Mizzou’s world-class faculty is committed to teaching, research and meaningful engagement that serves our students and all of Missouri. Receiving a promotion or earning tenure is an incredible milestone and the culmination of years of hard work and scholarship. I want to applaud our faculty for their dedication to excellence.

The foundation of any university is its faculty. I enjoyed recognizing these remarkable individuals alongside their family, friends and the Mizzou community.
