Recognizing our Staff and Faculty

Wednesday, September 27th, 2017 was a special day at UMSL, our annual State

of the University Address. This event celebrates the accomplishments of UMSL employees and addresses the state of the school in the previous year and what is to come.

As students, we see and work with these employees of the university daily, yet we don't always acknowledge all of their hard work. However, these special individuals help make our university grow and thrive with so much expertise! The State of the University Address is held for all staff and faculty to come and congratulate the 2016-17 employees of the month, the 2017 Chancellor's Awards for Excellence recipients, and our staff and faculty celebrating 25 years of employment and 1 faculty member celebrating 50 years!

The Chancellor also gave his annual speech of our university’s accomplishments from 2016-17 academic year. In his presentation he showed how many of our goals were not only met this last year but also how many we exceed! It is great to say that our university flourishes more and more with the work of our faculty and staff.

So next time you pass an UMSL employee in the hall, say hello and thank them for what they do. After all, where would we be without them?

Below is the program listing all the awardees!
