We\u2019re thrilled to once again celebrate Mizzou Homecoming! Across so many events<\/a>, Tigers are coming together to recognize what makes our community special \u2013 including our commitment to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student-run Homecoming Blood Drive is more than 40 years old and still breaking records. This year, they collected nearly 5,000 units of blood to help save lives. Tiger Food Fight, our annual drive benefiting the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, was another historic success. Our community contributed an amazing 178,836 tons of food for those in need, including on campus through Tiger Pantry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our Homecoming Day of Service, Tigers stepped up and completed 1,500 total hours of community service. Throughout Homecoming Weekend, many alumni and friends will also serve as volunteer Homecoming Ambassadors to welcome all to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are still ways to get involved and show your Mizzou spirit. The Homecoming Endowment<\/a> is a great year-round opportunity to support our university and advance Homecoming\u2019s legacy for future generations. We also need everyone to cheer on our Tigers during tomorrow\u2019s game against Auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are proud to continue Leading the Legacy. Happy Homecoming \u2013 and go Tigers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-I-Z!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
