The University of Missouri has launched the largest fundraising campaign in its 186-year history. Uniting alumni, friends and partners, the transformational initiative will shape the future of Mizzou’s campus, impacting education, research, community engagement and health care.

With a landmark goal to raise $2 billion, the initiative, “Power the Roar,” ranks among the largest campaigns ever undertaken by a U.S. public university.

“This is an exciting time for the university and the College of Education & Human Development,” Dr. Kui Xie, Joanne H. Hook Dean’s Chair in Educational Renewal. “This campaign will allow us to amplify our mission to improve lives and strengthen communities while educating the next generation of leaders. I look forward to sharing our bold vision for the future as we launch this transformational campaign that will shape the future of our college for years to come.”
