This week, we\u2019re welcoming more than 100 new faculty members to the Mizzou community. To begin their three-day orientation, I was pleased to host cohort members for a reception at the Residence on Francis Quadrangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During orientation, new faculty receive an introduction to university traditions, along with important resources through the Provost\u2019s Office<\/a> to help them achieve success in teaching, research and engagement. There are also opportunities to hear from Columbia Mayor Barbara Buffaloe and Mizzou Provost Matthew Martens \u2013 along with time to meet deans and new colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a historic moment to join Mizzou. We recently received our 10-year accreditation<\/a> from the Higher Learning Commission and continue to achieve record highs in research<\/a> and student success. We\u2019re also preparing to launch a transformative new campaign<\/a> to invest in Mizzou\u2019s future \u2013 including the success of our faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New faculty are joining us from some of the world\u2019s top universities, and they are drawn to Mizzou\u2019s bold commitment to innovation and reputation for excellence. I enjoyed meeting with faculty and am excited to begin the new semester next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
