Thanks to you, we successfully concluded the Onward, Upward campaign!

Move Missouri State into the future

We have a long history of educating students to become successful global citizens. Onward, upward — a line from a historic version of the Missouri State fight song — reflects our pride in our past. It also reflects the knowledge that we must always push forward to elevate our performance, our profile and our people. This fundraising campaign, the largest we have ever undertaken, will support and transform the university in four priority areas.
