University of Missouri President Mun Choi, Vice Chancellor Bill Stackman and the campus community recently gathered for a wreath-laying ceremony to remember the lives of Mizzou’s students, faculty and staff who have died since fall 2021.
“We mourn the loss of these wonderful students, faculty and staff, but more importantly, we celebrate their lives and the contributions they have made,” Stackman said. “The greatest respect we can pay to them is to recognize that life may be shorter than we wish and that we must value each person who crosses our path.”
