Great to be at Missouri S&T's experimental mine earlier this morning - projects like the one at S&T are critical to breaking our reliance on China for rare minerals and materials and ensuring that the United States continues to be a leader in innovation.

Today, Senator Hawley Press Office and I introduced a resolution honoring Mizzou Football for their victory in the Cotton Bowl and their incredible season.

Coach Drinkwitz and the entire Mizzou football program should be proud, and I look forward to seeing what's in store for this team.

Teresa and I will be cheering on Mizzou this Friday. #MIZ

Missouri is a national leader in manufacturing with rich reserves in critical minerals, and we’re proud that Missouri S&T continues to be at the forefront in preparing our state for the demands of tomorrow.

Thank you to the state and federal elected officials who helped turn UMKC’s Hospital Hill project into a reality. The project will address the rural physician shortage and graduate more dentists here in Missouri. UMKC is home to the only public dental school in MO, KS, and AR!

The most powerful research reactor in the US took a historic step forward yesterday thanks to the support of Missouri’s elected officials. 

Their support of MURR will drive research and development that will save lives across both Missouri and the entire United States.

Thank you to the state and federal elected officials who helped turn this vision into reality. While expanding UMKC’s footprint in St. Joseph, the School of Medicine building will train rural healthcare providers while transforming healthcare access for millions of Missourians.

As the Fall 2023 semester begins today; some notable highlights at MU – overall enrollment steady and retention and graduation rates continue to increase! #MIZ !

Thank you to Governor Mike Parson and the legislature for your continued support and for making such important investments into higher education, research, and workforce development.

Congrats to President Choi for being appointed to the SEC Executive Committee! #MIZ

I am deeply saddened by the loss of a close friend and colleague, Jessica Pabst, who helped represent MU healthcare. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Brandon and sons Paxton and Lincoln. She will be greatly missed and her memory will live on in our hearts and minds.

I'm thrilled to see such deserving individuals receive the 2023 Henry S. Geyer Award from Mizzou Alumni. Congressman Luetkemeyer and Pat Thomas have been stanch supporters of higher education throughout their careers. Mizzou and the state of Missouri owe them a debt of gratitude.

Thank you Governor Mike Parson, who continues to support higher education. Governor Parson proposed expansive investments in higher ed and workforce development. Included is funding for transformational improvement projects and core funding for Missouri's public higher ed institutions.

The @UMSystem is grateful to our congressional delegation, especially Senator Roy Blunt & Blaine Luetkemeyer Luetkemeyer, for securing funding to advance System priorities following the recent passage of the federal omnibus spending bill. The funding supports research, construction & education.

Yesterday, we celebrated Marshall Stewart for all he accomplished for MU Extension. Through his work, he has impacted the lives of many Missourians in every county across the state. He will be greatly missed and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors!

What a great opportunity to host this year's freshman legislative tour — the group even showcased their basketball skills at Mizzou Arena! We are looking forward to working with them in support of the UM System.

MU Health Care and MU School of Medicine leaders welcomed Governor Mike Parson Wednesday as he announced $2.5 million in state funding for smoking cessation and prevention efforts. The additional state funding is projected to save the state $21 million in future health care costs.
