From the beginning, the University of Central Missouri was established on the value of education for service. Founded as a teacher’s college in 1871, the State Normal School, District Two transformed and adapted according to the educational needs of the time.

“Let the foundation of this institution be laid in the hearts of the people.”

Principal George P. Beard, UCM’s first president

For 14 decades, the UCM experience has transformed students into lifelong learners, dedicated to service, with the knowledge and confidence to succeed worldwide.

The UCM of today maintains these values through our commitment to Learning to a Greater Degree. Fueled by our dedication to preparing our students for the workplace, our modern identity is shaped by the four reasons to believe:

CHOOSE RED TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER.

ENGAGED LEARNING

FUTURE-FOCUSED ACADEMICS

WORLDLY PERSPECTIVE

CULTURE OF SERVICE

Through the four reasons to believe, our students, professors, and graduates embrace Learning to a Greater Degree.

UCM’s campus is an international community, bringing together students from all backgrounds to share intellectual curiosity and passion for giving back to the community–exemplifying what it truly means to be a Mule!

My experience at UCM has been absolutely amazing, something I’d cherish for the rest of my life! I had a number of concerns before I came here. It was going to be a huge transition, and I didn’t know anybody at UCM, but UCM made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived on campus; my peers, faculty and staff were so amazing and welcoming! I guess being away from home, you just get connected to people way easier and I am glad that I made a few friendships and bonds for a lifetime, and that is something I’ll take with me when I leave. The people and ambiance at UCM won my heart, along with gaining knowledge in my field of study; it has definitely made me more confident and independent as a person.

I started working at the Honors College, and then worked in several offices on campus, like the MAPS office, International Center, Academic Advising and Study Abroad office, and it made me realize how much people here do for students, for their success. And when you know there are people working really hard for you to succeed, it inspires and motivates you to do better and succeed in your education here.

UCM gives you so many opportunities, so it’s about grasping those opportunities and making the best of it. Our student affairs professionals make sure you do that and have always challenged, but also supported us, to do really well here. I think that’s something that really stands out with UCM’s education system. You could come here and just earn a degree and leave, or you could gain an experience for a lifetime, like I did!

I took my grandma on my first visit, and UCM really made her feel at ease – she even went to orientation with me! I’ve told her about Safe Team and MAPS – the things that help you get ready for college and be safe in college – she’s super excited about it. UCM made it a lot easier – when I was applying for other schools, I was just a number on a page; it wasn’t as family oriented as UCM.

My major is in Special Ed with a minor in Spanish. I did an internship with UCM my senior year of high school, and it allowed me to intern inside a real classroom. I tested out a special education classroom, and I fell in love and knew this was what I wanted to do – I actually declared my major in my freshman orientation!

I heard a lot about the placement rates because I was really nervous about job opportunities after graduation. UCM’s SPED program has a 99% placement for graduates, and that’s only because some people didn’t apply for jobs afterwards or went straight into a master’s. So I don’t have to worry about getting a job later on; I know that UCM is going to help me.

I’m a member of the UCM Symphonic Band and the Marching Mules – it’s the biggest band UCM has had this far. The band is very student-led; everything we do is a tradition started by students. The band allows you to be yourself and be creative with the other students.

I believe coming to UCM is the best decision that I could have made for my future, because there are so many different opportunities on campus. I want to be an on-air talent, so when I was a freshman I took advantage of these opportunities, and now I’m working as a student producer for KMOS, which is a PBS affiliate, as well as an on-air talent for our local campus show, called “Low Down.”

The professors at UCM really care about all of the students on a personal basis – whether that’s academics or the careers they want to go into. They really helped me hone my skills. For example, the opportunity to be a student producer has really set me up for my future because it has shown me specific skills involved in those roles, and gave me a clear understanding of how to achieve my goal of being an on-air talent in the professional media industry.

I’m involved in TRIO. TRIO has really impacted me because they have kept me in school. When my mom lost her job, I actually had a $3,000 hold on my account that we didn’t know how to pay. My advisor took that summer to actually find a donor, and she came and visited me personally to tell me that this donor was willing to donate the money to me. It was a very eye-opening moment. It showed me that everyone on campus does care about me being successful.

When I came across UCM, what I found was that really this university had the faculty and the facilities to pursue the education that I was looking for, one that had a great connection between the students and the faculty. I knew instantly that this university was going to give me what I needed to be successful, both for undergraduate but also for the years after that. During my first year here I asked my professor if there was anything else I could do to take my education beyond the classroom. He instantly walked over to the lab with me and showed me the equipment and told me that I could get started the next week. From that point forward, I’ve been working on the research we do here, and that has allowed me to put my name on publications and to network with other individuals across many universities. When I came to UCM, I knew that this was the right field for me, and that has just progressed into me wanting to pursue as high an education as I can, and that involves taking graduate courses, trying to pursue internships in the area, and also taking coursework to eventually go to medical school. I’m the president of the UCM Health Professions Association. Being able to see the changes that we make in both thinking and preparedness for these undergraduate students really rewards me, because I can see the effects that our club has on increasing their chances for success, so I really enjoy that aspect of being involved outside of the classroom.

What’s unique about UCM is the faculty and staff, and the class sizes. For having a lot of students, because we have 14,000 some-odd students now, the class sizes still don’t get too big. You still have that kind of one-on-one interaction with your teachers; you know your teachers—your professors—they can help you out when you need help.

UCM really helped me find my major – they just offer a lot of unique, individual things. In finance we have the SMIF program, a student-managed investment fund, which I get to be a part of this next year. There are lots of cool things like that at UCM, and a lot of schools just don’t have that – I know we’re one of the only schools in Missouri that has that for finance majors.

On the football team I’m an outside linebacker, currently. On game day when we’re running out of the tunnel, there’s not really a better experience, especially at all the other MIAA schools that we play at; UCM has the best atmosphere. You run out of the tunnel, the band’s playing, everyone’s getting loud and whatnot, and you look up and you see the whole stands filled with people; it’s pretty fun.

An internship that I’m going to do this summer is with Mariner Wealth Advisors; I actually came across the opportunity via the Career Fair that we have here. We get to talk to companies and shake hands, get to know people, make those connections. It’s going to be a very valuable experience for me, and I’m very excited about it.

The UCM experience is really the best experience of my life. I’ve studied abroad twice for free; I’ve been to see the United States Congress to lobby for the TRIO student support services, for free; I’ve been to different conferences; I’ve built countless relationships with faculty, staff, and the president of the university.

UCM has given me the confidence to pursue things bigger than myself, such as becoming the president of Africana Studies Leadership Council, and speaking up for underrepresented students at UCM. I am actually working at an internship this summer, which is actually part of the McNair Scholars Research Program, so I will be conducting research this summer and preparing for graduate school.

The biggest opportunity was when I went to see the United States Congress in Washington, D.C. I was there to advocate on behalf TRIO by sharing the benefits of the program through personal experience with hopes of Congress giving TRIO more funding to serve more students like myself. The fact that UCM and TRIO really gave me the opportunity to lobby for them at the United States Congress when I was only 20 – I still can’t believe that.

I received the Generation Study Abroad scholarship, and I just owe so much to the International Studies program at UCM because they really care. UCM always wants to support you, and I just really value that because I went for free, twice, to Jamaica—most students can not say that. I’m so thankful because UCM provides endless opportunities that go beyond the average college experience.

My experience here at UCM has been very community driven. I’ve looked to get involved on campus and get around people – it’s been very much my own experience. I’m involved in a lot of different organizations; I’ve been an orientation leader for past summers, I’m a community advisor, and I’m the vice-president for marketing for Spotlight. UCM’s prepared me to be a leader with these involvements – I’ve been able to better work on my time management skills, my communication skills, and all those facets are going to help me become a better leader. Working essentially all over campus with student activities, I’ve met a lot of people. Walking to class, in 10 minutes I probably pass 20-30 people I know just because they recognize me from things that I do here on campus. As a Community Advisor I’m there for the student’s support and guidance – I’m helping them find resources and support they need as they continue to grow at UCM. I really like having that interaction with them; it’s helped me grow as an individual. Coming to UCM, I didn’t realize there were community advisors. I took the chance to apply after my hall director encouraged me, and it’s really shaped the rest of my life.

Coming to the U.S. has always been a dream for me ever since I was three years old. Although I have explored various universities offering aviation majors, I have made UCM as my choice for its reputable aviation program in the Midwest. Another thing that distinguished UCM from the rest is that this university is dedicated to student success. It’s a great place to gain education and at the same time to learn American cultures and cultures from other parts of the world. I have joined several student organizations, including the International Students Organization, The American Association for Airport Executives (AAAE) and The Missouri Airport Managers Association (MAMA) student chapter that caters for Aviation Management students. I’m currently the president of the International Student Organization – I got elected in my first semester. I was worried about applying for an officer position, but people believed in me, and to honor that I had to believe in myself. So that was a great achievement for me at UCM. My major is in airport management, and my minor is in global security studies. I plan on joining the United Nations. I want to be a part of a team that contributes to the world and the aviation sector as a whole. UCM creates pathways. No matter what your goal is, UCM lecturers and staff are ready to guide you in that pathway and achieve that goal.

I originally came to UCM to be a criminal justice major. They’re ranked in the top five in the nation, and that piqued my interest, but when I realized UCM had a computer science degree I ended up switching my major. I was one of the first students to be a part of UCM’s cybersecurity program, which was super exciting. I was even granted a cybersecurity scholarship in my first year. I’ll be one of the few females that will graduate with a cybersecurity degree – I want to program the systems that protect people in the real world.

UCM has supported me the entire time. Being a female student in my department can be very hard; it’s challenging, it’s competitive, but at the same time it encourages me to pursue my studies and makes me want to work harder so that when I graduate, I can be on top. This year we are putting together a women in computing club; we’re having our first meeting at the end of the semester where we can actually promote women in mathematics and computing and help build programs for women.

I pay for college myself, and I was nervous about being able to afford activities like the marching band, the symphonic band, and colorguard, as well as tuition. UCM is very supportive of my financial needs; they helped me apply for a leadership position in marching band which added to my scholarships; it’s great that I can be a working student and also receive scholarships for being here as well.

When I toured UCM, I heard about the great business program accreditation that they have, something that only a few other big schools in the country have, so that really impressed me; that was one of the big things that actually brought me to UCM, along with the opportunity for the college experience. The opportunities that UCM gave me were something I really just fell in love with. UCM has given me the ability to give back to the community. I had never really done any community service work prior to coming to college. But now I’ve been in charge of setting up groups of volunteers who go out into the community; seeing that what I’m doing is really making a difference and helping people; that’s what it’s all about for me. Getting a campus job is easy, if you go out there and seek out the opportunities, they’re definitely there for you. I absolutely love my job as a student ambassador – just getting to meet all the prospective new students. I get to show them around the campus and talk to them about UCM and share with them my experiences, and that’s one of the best things, I think— just really getting to connect with people one-on-one and help them in their college decision.

As a professor I learn just as much from my students as they’re learning from me, and also the classroom environment gives students the opportunity to learn from one another. We have a great host of non-traditional students—and those individuals bring a very different experience to the table; they’re bringing real life into the classroom, and they have examples from their careers. You can watch the students learn from one another and really enhance their education by just being around their peers. Learning to a greater degree for me means getting students into the field – showing them things, people and places they’re never going to understand unless they see them – I think this just creates a better human being, and it sets them up for incredible career success by having such unique opportunities.

Being around students every day is an inspiration. They have all this energy and passion to learn, and to go into a new profession that they want to spend their life doing. They keep you passionate to come to class every day to teach them, and that’s what I love doing. When you go to graduation and you get to see the students that you’ve worked with going across the stage, getting jobs, getting to meet their parents, that makes that entire journey worth it. I work a lot with the kids on campus with disabilities, and I thought a therapy dog would be a great way for them to have some stress release, because they’re coming to campus for the first time, and I really discovered that Ronon started impacting not just those kids, but all the students. People just love to come up and pet him, and they always walk away with a smile – he’s good at just making people smile and making their day a little bit better.

As a professor at UCM, you have an opportunity to actually explore ideas and concepts much deeper in addition to challenge your students in new ways. You get an opportunity to impact not only college students but you have a global reach, because you share ideas with your students who will share those ideas and concepts with their students. Thinking about that, in my opinion, is pretty amazing. I’ve come to learn that being a teacher is about service, not only to your community, but just in general. So you take those ideals and values, and you apply them globally. So you’re able to serve your community, you’re able to serve wherever you’re working in order to make this place better.

UCM has provided me an opportunity to get to know students, both in the classroom and in a one-on-one situation. In my area we do a lot of one-on-one work. It’s given me an opportunity to guide students through their college education, which is so exciting. This university, UCM, has wonderful resources. For being a university of the size we are, we have fantastic student resources, we have a fantastic library, fantastic research collections, and people who can help guide you through those things. Students have made me who I am. I like to say that the real part of my learning started when I came as a faculty member here. I learned how what kind of things make a great teacher, what kind of things make a classroom exciting and a great environment in which to learn.
