The University of Missouri celebrated 47 publications by faculty authors during the recent Faculty Book Authors Celebration, part of Faculty Excellence Week.
"At Mizzou, we’re proud to have faculty whose published books contribute meaningfully to the global body of knowledge in their fields," Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Matthew Martens said. "Authoring a book is a significant undertaking that reflects deep expertise and dedication — and it's an achievement well worth celebrating."
