Hundreds of soon-to-be University of Missouri graduates marked their final days as students on Saturday, May 4, gathering on Francis Quadrangle for Senior Sendoff. After convening near the front steps of Jesse Hall, seniors embarked on a symbolic exit through the historic Columns and into the world, where they are well prepared to succeed. A recent annual career outcomes survey found that more than 95% of graduating Tigers thrive in various fields within six months after graduation.
Festivities continued with a party on the Quad, where seniors were welcomed into the Mizzou Made alumni family.
Here are a few of our favorite photos from the event.
