Being a Tiger is a family affair. Mizzou celebrates Father's Day with dads who have passed on their love of black and gold to their children. Meet faculty, staff, students and alumni who are proud to be part of the Mizzou family.

Haskell joined the MU faculty as an English professor in 1972 and taught until 2008. A Hickman High School graduate, Amanda left Columbia after high school but returned to Mizzou to earn a master’s degree. After earning a PhD from Northwestern University, she joined the faculty at the MU School of Journalism.

David arrived at Mizzou in 1974 and studied broadcast journalism as an undergraduate before earning a master’s degree in counseling psychology. He has worked at MU for 24 years and is currently the director of marketing and strategic communications at the Mizzou Alumni Association. A Hickman High School graduate, Berkley followed in his father’s footsteps and arrived on campus as a freshman last year, 40 years after his dad.
