Missouri is home to world-class universities, cutting-edge innovation districts, and unique research centers. This week, the Missouri congressional delegation sent a letter to HHS.gov urging Secretary Xavier Becerra to select Missouri for the new ARPA-H headquarters. blunt.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
MU Health Care and MU School of Medicine leaders welcomed @GovParsonMO 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.
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!
The UM System 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.
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.

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.
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.
