University of Missouri faculty make significant contributions in the classroom, the lab, the community and far beyond the MU campus. President Mun Choi and Provost Latha Ramchand held a virtual Faculty Recognition Awards ceremony on Jan. 29 to honor award recipients.
“2020 was a year full of challenges,” Choi said to the recipients. “But at every turn, you ensured our core missions of teaching, research and service were met. I look forward to seeing all the ways each of you build on your excellence in the future.”
