Welcoming our new students


Welcome to Mizzou
This week we begin Summer Welcome to meet the incoming freshmen students and register them for fall classes. New students are excited, nervous, eager, apprehensive, sometimes undecided, sometimes overwhelmed, but always anxious to begin the transition from high school to college. Their energy is inspiring and contagious.

In many ways Mizzou is a big place. We have more than 30,000 students. It is possible to be anonymous and attend classes without attracting attention or meeting other students. But it doesn't have to be that way. HES is a smaller college at a large university. It is very possible to meet a lot of students, get to know faculty and get involved on campus. I encourage all students to take advantage of the wonderful resources of a large public institution while reaping the benefits of what feels like a small private college dedicated to their academic interests.

Welcome to the College of Human Environmental Sciences
With a 109-year tradition at Mizzou, we continue to focus on creating scientific solutions to everyday problems. The times change, the technologies change, but the emphasis on improving the quality of life for individuals and families does not change.
