Paws on the Quad

More than 3,000 tiger paws popped up on the Francis Quadrangle Sept. 21 — each representing a "Mizzou: Our Time to Lead" scholarship recipient.

Since 2012, the “Mizzou: Our Time to Lead” campaign has supported the creation of hundreds of new funds.
In total, 3,107 students received new scholarships created during the campaign.
These totals do not include previously existing funds, which have also benefitted from donor generosity over the past eight years.
An art installation was unveiled this week as a lead-up to the virtual celebration on Thursday, Sept. 24.
The virtual campaign program will be streamed live at giving.missouri.edu/celebration, and will be available for replay after the event.

Tune in to the virtual campaign celebration at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, to learn more about this record-breaking period of philanthropy.
