Dean Chrysochoou shared Mizzou\u2019s strong support for neurodiverse communities and the ways we leverage AI to make a difference for people in Missouri and around the world. Representatives from <a href=\"https:\/\/thompsoncenter.missouri.edu\/\">the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murr.missouri.edu\/\">the University of Missouri Research Reactor<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.missouri.edu\/centers-institutes-labs\/shelden-simulation-center\">the Shelden Clinical Simulation Center<\/a> were available to provide interactive demonstrations of our work in these important fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As guests in the Los Angeles area, we were also sensitive to the numerous residents \u2013 including Tiger students and alumni \u2013 impacted by the ongoing fires. We were honored that so many still chose to attend and show their support for Mizzou. University leadership was proud to make contributions to causes benefiting those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoyed seeing fellow Tigers and hearing what makes them passionate about Mizzou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the new year begins, we continue our series of exciting alumni events that celebrate Mizzou\u2019s incredible impact and ambition.
