7 Missouri Journalism Students Selected for Mizzou 39 by the Mizzou Alumni Association Student Board
The Award Recognizes Academic Achievement, Leadership and Service to the University of Missouri
Columbia, Mo. (April 15, 2013) — The Mizzou Alumni Association Student Board (AASB) recently named seven Missouri School of Journalism seniors to the 2013 class of Mizzou 39.
Mizzou 39 honors outstanding seniors for their academic achievements, leadership and service. Created by the AASB in 2005, the name pays tribute to the spirit of service modeled by the families that supported the founding of the University in 1839. Each year, only 39 of the more than 3,000 graduating seniors at the University of Missouri earn this distinction.
Mizzou 39 honorees must be seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. A committee of alumni, faculty and staff review the applications and select the winners.
The students were recognized during the Mizzou basketball game on Feb. 9 against Ole Miss and again later that evening at a special award banquet in the Reynolds Alumni Center.
Additionally, each winner has chosen to recognize an outstanding faculty or staff member who has advised and guided them throughout their college career.
