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.

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.

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.
