This weekend, we’re thrilled to welcome alumni<\/a> and supporters back to campus for Mizzou’s 114th Homecoming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mizzou Homecoming remains the first and the best<\/a> in the nation. We\u2019re ready to cheer on our Tigers as they take on the UMass Minutemen in a sold-out Memorial Stadium, and to host a weekend full of activities that recognize the accomplishments of our community. Visit the Mizzou Alumni Association for a full schedule of events<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the many highlights, on Friday we\u2019ll recognize two remarkable examples of Tiger excellence during a ceremony for the Mizzou Hall of Fame Class of 2025<\/a>. This year\u2019s inductees are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Raymond Kowalik<\/a>, former chairman & CEO of Burns & McDonnell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 and Robert J. Trulaske, Sr.<\/a>, founder & CEO of True Manufacturing Company and the namesake of our Trulaske College of Business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud to honor their lasting legacies at Mizzou and share their incredible examples of innovation and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s Homecoming theme is Call of the Columns<\/a>, a celebration of the people and traditions that define Mizzou, as well as the many ways we give back to others<\/a>. With more than 370,000 alumni making a difference across Missouri and around the world, we\u2019re proud to bring our community together and support our university\u2019s life-changing impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
