Fly Cape Air from Kirksville!

Freshmen students at Truman State University during Summer Orientation in June 2017!

Welcome Students!

The school year is underway, and thousands of college students are once again a part of our community, and our local economy! These students make an important decision to attend Moberly Area Community College, Truman State University, and A.T. Still University, and call Kirksville home during their college career. Some may even choose to stay in Kirksville after graduation! Students bring a vibrancy that is vital to the health of our City, its businesses, and institutions. Here are some opportunities to make those students feel welcome this fall: September 10: ATSU’s NEMO Triathlon

September 16: Truman’s Family Day

October 8—14: Truman’s Homecoming

October 19—21: ATSU’s Founder’s Day

December 16: Truman’s Commencement For more information, visit the academic and event calendars for MACC, Truman, and ATSU online!
