Millikin Campus Life

TODAY! 👟➡💼 The Sports to Skills workshop from 6:30-7:30 p.m. is designed to help student-athletes recognize and communicate the valuable skills developed through athletics — skills that are highly sought after by employers.

Including special guest speaker MU Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Kalli Farmer Collins ’20, participants will identify their key strengths and learn how to clearly and confidently convey those skills on a resume and in an interview. ✅

⏰ Join us in the UC lobby today, Wednesday, April 22, at 6:30 p.m.

📣 Your voice matters — become a Forever True Blue Advocate!

On April 30, our community will come together for the Forever True Blue Challenge, dedicated to generating meaningful scholarship support for our students. This effort is strongest when it’s powered by the people who know MU best and use their voices to expand our impact. 💙

🫵 This is where YOU come in! We’re asking you to step forward as a Forever True Blue Advocate.

🛠️ To support you, we’ve created a Forever True Blue Advocate Toolkit to help make participation simple and meaningful, including:

📱Ready-to-use social media posts.
📧 Sample emails you can personalize and send to your network.
🖥️ A Teams background and other graphics to show visible support.
