THREE EASY STEPS
TO BOOSTING MIZZOU
MICHAEL CALI
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that one of a leader’s most important roles is that of chief reminding officer. If something is important, it’s worth saying more than just once. I may have learned this lesson on the job, but I honed it to high art by having three teenagers in the house at one time! So here, for your repeated pleasure, are three ways you can help the university on almost a daily basis. Send us great students. This fall, we are pleased to welcome a class that is bright, healthy and high in transfer students. Overall enrollment is stable. Considering the events of the past 15 months, I find that remarkably good news. On the other end of the academic trajectory, Mizzou has achieved its highest graduation and retention rates to date. Share the good news about Mizzou. These pages serve up story after story about great things happening at your alma mater. We are thrilled to be opening the NextGen Precision Health building in October. The structure and the researchers it houses will be dedicated to solving Missouri’s biggest health challenges. Soak up all the news, then share it early and often with potential students, parents, fellow alumni and colleagues around the watercooler. Come back to campus. No doubt this one has been more difficult during the pandemic. But as you return this fall, go beyond the usual tailgating for a Mizzou football game. Walk the campus, visit your school or college, and check out the old and the new. TODD MCCUBBIN, M ED ’95 executive director, Mizzou Alumni Association
