    2009 ANNUAL REPORT VISION The Mizzou Alumni Association shall be the pre-eminent resource for the University. MISSION STATEMENT The Mizzou Alumni Association proudly supports the best interests and traditions of Missouri's flagship university and its alumni worldwide. Lifelong relationships are the foundation of our support. These relationships are enhanced through advocacy, communication and volunteerism. 2 Front: Photo of the Columns and Jesse Hall by Notley Hawkins. www.notleyhawkins.com “The Association makes MU stronger by supporting the university programs and traditions that alumni value. Whether it's student scholarships, faculty research, athletics, your school or college, or traditions such as Homecoming, the Mizzou Alumni Association supports it all. Todd McCubbin Executive Director Mizzou Alumni Association his past year was record-setting for the University. Enrollment hit an all-time high at nearly 31,000, fundraisers bested the $1 billion mark, and more Tiger football T fans bought tickets than ever before. The Mizzou Alumni Association got in on the action, too, when we reached a record level of membership of 40,144 members in May. Although the number itself is impressive, what the association does with your membership dollars matters most. We surveyed alumni about what comes to mind when they think of the association, and a top response was “money” — as in, we ask for it regularly. I cringed the first time I heard that. But upon further reflection, I'm OK with it. The Association makes MU stronger by supporting the university programs and traditions that alumni value. Whether it's student scholarships, faculty research, athletics, your school or college, or traditions such as Homecoming, the Mizzou Alumni Association supports it all.

The 2015 University of Missouri Protests and their Lessons for Higher Education Policy and Administration Ben Trachtenberg' ABSTRACT In 2015, student protestors at more than eighty American universities issued administratorsdemands related to racialjustice. Even readers intensely interested in both civil rights and higher educationpolicy could name few ofthese institutions. Yet somehow the University of Missouri ("Mizzou")-along with Yale and a few other universities-became nationallyfamous as a hotbed of racial unrest. At most ofthese eighty universities, presidents did not resign, enrollment did not plummet by thousands of students, nor did relationswith state politiciansdeteriorate terribly. In the traditionof legal narrative and storytelling, this Article explores how the University of Missouri managed to fare so badly after students began protesting during the fall of 2015.
