Dear CASE Family,
Where has the time gone? The semester was here and now it is gone. We had such an eventful semester with several scholars receiving such great accolades. Every year I am excited to see our graduating seniors take off and embark on new beginnings. Specifically, the class of 2018-2019 I hold dear to me because I came into this role as Director of CASE the same year they stepped foot on this campus. Four years later, I have had the chance to see them grow and I'm extremely proud of all their accomplishments.
Reflecting upon our graduates, I wanted to take time to say thank you to all our collaborators, faculty, and staff that contribute to our scholars experiences here at Mizzou. Each of you have made contributions that have impacted these scholars and added value to their individual and/or collective experiences. As the saying goes, it really does take a village to raise a student.
Thank you,
Donell Young, JD
Director, Assistant Vice Chancellor of IDE
University of Missouri
