We continued our tour of Mizzou Nation with a stop in Texas at the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building at the Museum\u202fof Fine Arts,\u202fHouston. Mizzou has strong ties with the Lone Star State, and we\u2019re grateful to share our ongoing impact with alumni and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At experiential stations around the gallery, guests interacted\u202fwith demonstrations from the MU Research Reactor and the Russell D. and Mary B. Shelden Simulation Center\u2019s Innovation Lab \u2013 including lifelike medical training tools sculpted at Mizzou by Damon Coyle<\/a>. As part of the program, we received a special welcome from distinguished MU alumna, Linda Lorelle, an Emmy award winning journalist who spent nearly 17 years anchoring the evening news at Houston’s NBC affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were also joined once again by Law School Dean Paul Litton, Director of the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy Jay Sexton and Ella Rose Ferguson, a junior studying political science and constitutional democracy. They hosted an important discussion about the role elections play in a constitutional democracy and our responsibility to educate the next generation of leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate our many Houston alumni who attended. We are thankful for their dedication, and we share their excitement for Mizzou\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
