Hundreds of soon-to-be University of Missouri graduates gathered on Francis Quadrangle on Saturday, May 10, for Senior Sendoff. Against the backdrop of Jesse Hall, seniors took part in a beloved Mizzou tradition — one final walk as students before stepping into the next chapter.
As they passed through the Columns, laughter and cheers marked the moment of transition. And with good reason: a recent career outcomes survey shows that more than 95% of Mizzou students launch into jobs, grad schools or other pursuits of success within six months of graduating.
Following the walk, the celebration continued on the Quad with music, food and Tiger spirit as the graduates were officially welcomed into the ever-growing Mizzou Made alumni community.
