The University of Missouri System is a prevalent part of Missouri and its culture, no matter which corner you visit or where you may live. But, the UM System hasn’t always looked the way it does now; a lot of history has come together to form the UM System we know today. Throughout its history, the UM System has been able to give back more by working together; a tradition that will continue through the years to come. Each component works toward upholding the phrase that’s part of the university and state motto; “salus populi”, meaning “the welfare of the people”. The mission of the University of Missouri System, as a land-grant university and Missouri’s only public research and doctoral-level institution, is to achieve excellence in the discovery, dissemination, preservation and application of knowledge. With an unwavering commitment to academic freedom and freedom of expression, the university educates students to become leaders, promotes lifelong learning by Missouri’s citizens, fosters meaningful research and creative works, and serves as a catalyst for innovation, thereby advancing the educational, health, cultural, social and economic interests to benefit the people of Missouri, the nation, and the world.
