We recently welcomed more than 100 Tiger supporters from across Missouri and as far away as New York City and Boulder, Colorado for the Alumni Leadership Conference. This annual gathering brings together both new and experienced volunteers to hear directly from campus leaders, celebrate Mizzou\u2019s momentum and connect with fellow Tigers advocating for our university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day, we hosted important conversations about how to share our many incredible accomplishments \u2014 from lifesaving research at MURR to transformative opportunities that prepare students for career success \u2013 and I enjoyed highlighting our progress and answering questions. Attendees also met current Tigers making an impact, including our national champion Chess Team<\/a> and Mizzou\u2019s first NCAA Diving Champion, Collier Dyer<\/a>. In addition, they received a first look at our newly launched \u201cLet\u2019s Show the World\u201d branding campaign and an exclusive preview of the in\u2011progress Memorial Stadium Centennial Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we launched our $2 billion Power the Roar<\/a> campaign to secure Mizzou\u2019s land\u2011grant mission for generations. We\u2019ve already surpassed $900 million \u2013 an extraordinary show of support from alumni and friends across the nation that will change lives and create a better future for all we serve. This momentum is possible thanks to the many dedicated volunteers who share our impact every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m grateful to everyone who joined us and for their extraordinary commitment to Mizzou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
